Abstract

Two-lane rural roads in Bosnia and Herzegovina take up the highest percentage of the national road network and thus carry almost the entire heavy traffic. That is why long platoons are often formed on such roads, vehicle speed is low, and traffic density is high. In order to improve the quality of traffic, it is necessary to determine the level of service for the existing situation and for alternatives involving reconstruction of critical elements along this road network. The percent-time-spent-following is studied in this paper as it is an appropriate measure for determining efficiency of two-lane rural roads.

Keywords
