The movement of people, goods, and vehicles on the transportation system is now critically dependent on how effectively that system is operated and managed. While roadway system expansion is necessary in some key locations and corridors to facilitate this movement and in some case economic development, the construction of new lanes will never alleviate the need for effective transportation operations and management of the system on both existing and new segments. Well-planned, cost effective transportation
