This paper presents the results of studies conducted in San Antonio, Texas, to evaluate the effectiveness of the redesignation of I-35 to an alternate freeway route. The redesignation was designed as a temporary measure to reroute traffic from a congested freeway to one with adequate available capacity. Therefore, only the advance guide signs and gore signs on the approaches to the diversion points were modified. Diversion potential was estimated by using planning-survey and license-plate origin-destination data. Changes in route choice were identified through license-plate origin-destination studies. Mailed questionnaires used to identify characteristics of through and diverting drivers indicated that, although not all through drivers were expected to divert, a significant number shifted from their original routes. /Author/
