heal.abstract	This paper proposes an exact analytical model which evaluates the capacity of a crossing manoeuvre when the major stream has two lanes with traffic travelling in the same direction. The model allows for a general gap acceptance function and major-stream headway distribution in each lane and for a general move-up time distribution. The general form of the distributions ensures that the various traffic and driver behavior characteristics fed into the model are realistic and hence so are the results. A partial capacity is defined in relation to each major-stream lane by assuming that drivers may cross only after the passage of a car in the lane considered. The total capacity is evaluated as the sum of the two partial capacities. It is believed that the idea of partial capacities can be used for the realistic analytical evaluation of the crossing manoeuvre capacity in the case that the major stream has more than two lanes or has lanes with traffic travelling in opposite directions.	en
