Summary:Abstract The report examines and analyzes the purpose of acceleration and deceleration lanes at two-level road interchanges. For the preparation of the current report are used the regulatory framework for the design of acceleration and deceleration lanes from Bulgaria, Austria, Germany and USA – California. The design elements of the acceleration and deceleration lanes are compared in detail. Widths and lengths of lanes, merging zones, angles and slopes. The conclusions of the report are given as guidelines for good practice in the design of road interchanges at one and two levels.
