The running speed is the length of the highway section divided by the time for a typical vehicle to travel through the section. For extended sections of roadway that include multiple roadway types, the average running speed is the most appropriate measure for evaluating level of service and road user costs.
1 sty 2009 · Highway designers establish geometric design criteria by using a designated design speed. The ultimate objective is compatibility between design speed, operating speed, and posted speed limit–-or speed harmony.
This document describes a laboratory activity for a Highway Engineering course involving a running speed study. Students will use a moving vehicle technique to collect travel time and delay data along a test route. The objective is to evaluate traffic movement and delays.

This document provides 6 examples of highway engineering calculations related to horizontal curves, vertical curves, pavement design, and stormwater design.
In these studies, a speed measurement location is identified on a highway, and speeds are measured for an adequate sample of free-flowing vehicles (typically 100-125).
Examples include: (i) permanent installations at 0.5 km spacings on United Kingdom motor ways, for monitoring speeds and flows; and (ii) speed loops on high-speed roads on the approaches to signal-controlled junctions or pelican-type pedestrian cross ings.
