Abstract
Contemporary access management is a process for managing the location, design and operation of driveways, median openings, and street connections to a roadway. It involves balancing the access needs of land development, with the need to preserve the safety and efficiency of travel on the surrounding roadway system. Because this requires coordination of transportation and land development decisions, access management strategies must be integrated into local plans and ordinances. This paper addresses coordination issues in improving access management practices and strategies for integrating access management into the local land development process. (A)
