"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.
The full range medial and marginal control, in cases of both full and partial control of access was studied to enable the highway administrator to determine the appropriate degree of access control, and to provide him with the physical means of accomplishing such control. Access control is of principal importance in insuring that an arterial, once constructed and opened to traffic, will continue to have a high traffic movement capability in future years. The street and highway networks of local areas, urban regions, states, and the nation should adequately provide for the conflicting functions of land access and longer trips.
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 351 examines issues involved in acquiring access rights along roadways other than freeways. The report documents the state of the practice with the intent to limit the amount of access to the roadway for the purpose of managing highway safety and mobility. The report documents successful practices and current policies, legal and real estate literature, and other publications that address this subject.
The document is intended to give highway agencies general guidelines toward a more comprehensive application of direct access controls to commercial properties on arterial highways. Volume I discusses the basic problem dimension, summarizes the evaluation of the 70 identified techniques, and gives a general decision framework for implementation of access controls. Volume II is a reference document containing detailed descriptions of the design, application, cost, operational effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of each access control technique.
