Abstract

Access management is an effective technique for reducing traffic conflicts associated with driveways and intersections. Most highway agencies have a comprehensive access management policy, but current practices show a wide variation in effectiveness. Therefore, to further promote and encourage effective access management techniques, this report on 'Access Management for Streets and Highways" was developed. The report provides design details and traffic operation methods for reducing the frequency and severity of traffic accidents at driveways. Evaluation techniques along with warrants are provided to aid in the selection of the appropriate control measure. Guidance for establishing a comprehensive access management program along with a review of the access policies for the States of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Colorado are included in the report.
