The analysis process used to assess the air quality impacts of high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lane and ramp metering projects is discussed, and the degree to which these popular measures are effective and compatible when jointly applied to improve freeway operations is examined. It happens that there exist subtle and potentially perverse interrelationships between HOV lanes and ramp metering. Also, in an environment of worsening congestion, ramp metering has a limited life. Proper management of these respective systems can occur only when they are administered with full acknowledgment of their mutual interdependence and with a long-term view of their relative potential.
