This guidebook is for transportation agency managers, engineers, and planners who want their agencies to use the planning process to implement a systematic and consistent approach to access management. For employees who are dealing with the consequences of poor access management at the project and operational levels, the guidance provides a resource that outlines the specific steps their agencies can take to establish a policy and planning basis for implementing access management best practices. This guidance focuses on how to use the planning process to establish the implementing mechanisms that will result in the application of access management principles.
"Since the publication of the first edition of the Access Management Manual, the context for transportation planning and roadway design in the United States has been transformed. Transportation agencies and local governments are under growing pressure to integrate land use and transportation policy and achieve a more sustainable, energy-efficient transportation system. This second edition of the manual responds to these developments by addressing access management comprehensively, as a critical part of network and land use planning. The content is interdisciplinary, with guidance pertinent to various levels of government as well as to pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorized vehicles, including trucks and buses, and is strongly grounded in decades of research, engineering science, and professional experience. Greater emphasis is placed on appropriate location of access, and guidance is refined to provide appropriate consideration of context and community issues. Substantial updates aid state and local agencies in managing access to corridor development effectively. Specific guidance on network and circulation planning and modal considerations is included, as well as guidance on effective site access and circulation design. A chapter on corridor management reinforces these concepts with a framework for application of access management in different contexts, along with appropriate strategies for each context. There are also new chapters on network planning, regional access management policies and programs, interchange area access management, auxiliary lane warrants and design, and right-of-way and access control. The manual concludes with an extensive menu of access management techniques and information on their application"--Provided by publisher.
This handbook introduces community leaders to an understanding oftransportation mobility, offering suggestions to reduce congestion, automobile dependence, and vehicle miles of travel.
This manual provides technical information on access management techniques, together with information on how access management programs can be effectively developed and administered. It addresses issues of relevance to state, regional, and local practitioners, and discusses the variety of circumstances or situational factors that agencies may face. It takes a comprehensive approach to access management, in an effort to integrate planning and engineering practices with the transportation and land use decisions that contribute to access outcomes. Practical information on a range of issues and applications was incorporated throughout the various chapters.
This book explains why the earliest cities had grid-form street systems, what conditions led to their being overwhelmingly preferred for 5000 years throughout the world, why the Founding Fathers wanted gridform cities and how they affect economic transactions. Real property has been instrumental in forming urban settlements for 5000 years, but virtually all urban form commentary, theory and research has ignored this reality. The result is an incomplete and flawed understanding of cities. Real property became a means of arranging spatial patterns caused by millennia of human evolutionary and historical developments with respect to access and movement. As a result, access to resources of all types became a regulatory mechanism controlled, at least in part, by real property ownership. The effects of real property on urban spatial patterns are currently best seen by examining American urban space, which has changed significantly over the past 200 years. This change, which began in the 1840s and established path dependence through a combination of design thought, sentimental pastoralism and financial prowess resulted in an urban regime shift that diminished economic resilience. This book offers a rethinking of how real property relates to real space, examines the thought of form promoters, links space, property, neurological evolution and settlement form, shows access is measurable and describes the plusses and minuses of functionalism, rent seeking, general purpose technology, grid-form street systems and what the American Founding Fathers thought about urban form.
This synthesis report will be of interest to department of transportation administrators and transportation planning, right-of-way, economic development, and environmental planning staffs, as well as to the consultants that work with them. It would also appeal to regional and local government officials and staff, as well as to the private sector. It summarizes information about corridor management policies and programs at the federal, state, and local levels. An effort was made to select a diversity of methods and programs for the broadest treatment of the subject. The synthesis focuses more on roadway corridors than on transit or greenway corridors, but much of the information provided is relevant to any corridor management effort. This report examines state policies and programs, techniques applied, and coordination issues. A series of case studies provides more detailed study. This report of the Transportation Research Board documents successful partnerships. It presents examples of transportation agencies working together, proactively, with local governments and other stakeholders to achieve more cost effective and comprehensive solutions to transportation problems.
NCHRP Report 582 explores how to integrate land use and transportation in rural communities. The report also highlights programs and investment strategies designed to support community development and livability while providing adequate transportation capacity.
