Access Management Awareness Program

Access Management

Transportation agencies increasingly emphasize access management programs as a cost-effective way of achieving improved safety and capacity on roadways, improved aesthetics and air quality, and better coordination of transportation and land development. This paper presents a summary of access management goals, regulatory/policy approaches, and successes/conclusions of other states and countries. States take a range of different regulatory approaches to access management. There is a high level of agreement that managing the location, design, and operation of driveways, median openings, and street connections to a roadway can reduce accidents, improve traffic flow, and discourage strip development. The effects of access management on business vitality and economic development have not yet been as extensively studied.
