1 INTRODUCTION

Two-lane highways carry a major portion of passenger and freight transport in any country. In India, more than 50% of National Highways are of two-lane category (MORTH, 2012). Functions of National Highways range from carrying high speed inter-state and intra-state traffic to providing access to most remote parts of the country. Hence, the quality of traffic operation of two-lane highways is a matter of concern while considering the economic development of the nation.
