The minimum spacing between successive exit terminals in interchange ramps, a index when planning and designing, has an important effect on traffic operation. Firstly, the effect of traffic volume, operating velocity, layout of traffic sign on minimum spacing was analyzed. Secondly, lane-change behaviors in ramp successive exit area was studied based on investigation, composition of minimum spacing was analyzed on different types of lane-change, which was conducted traffic safety evaluation with traffic conflict technique. Furthermore, according to traffic sign recognition distance, the required minimum safe distance of lane-change and the length of deceleration lane, the model of minimum spacing between successive exit terminals in interchange ramps has been established based on drivers’ behavior theory and the gap acceptance theory. At last, the reliability of the minimum spacing model was verified by using an example application, and furthermore, it proved that the model can provide technical reference for interchange planning and designing in mountain city.
