abstract="Almost all the analytical models in the literature for traffic flow on two-lane roads are concerned with steady state situations, assuming that passing is possible at any point along the road. In this paper we study the steady state situation, assuming that passing is possible only at passing points, which are located at equal distances along the road.The mathematical model, presented in this paper, shows how expected velocities, expected driver loss time and platoon length are affected by such characteristics as speeds of fast and slow vehicles, rates at which fast and show vehicles enter the road, spacing of passing opportunities, and probability of a vehicle being able to pass given a passing opportunity.<p />",
