What Is Access Management?
“Access Management is the process that provides access to land development while simultaneously preserving the flow of traffic on the surrounding road system in terms of safety, capacity, and speed”.
(Source: Federal Highway Administration)

A Key Goal
A key goal of access management is to maintain the functional integrity of the roadway system
![Page 5: The Benefits and Impacts of Roadway Access Management AASHTO Mississippi Valley Meeting Chicago, Illinois July 1999](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d935503460f94a7af61/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Functional Integrity
Reserve high speed, high capacity roads for high speed, long-distance travel
Maintain a “hierarchy” of roadsBalance traffic movement and access to
adjacent land by providing land access compatible with the roadway classification

What Are The Benefits of Managing Access?
Improved safety (reduction in accidents and accident rates)
Better traffic operations (increased LOS, capacity, and speed)
Other public benefits (for pedestrians, bicyclists, public transit, taxpayers, and the environment)
Potentially, a better environment in which to do business
![Page 17: The Benefits and Impacts of Roadway Access Management AASHTO Mississippi Valley Meeting Chicago, Illinois July 1999](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d935503460f94a7af61/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Safety: Driveway Spacing And Accident Rates Are Strongly Related

Safety: Accident Rates Are Lower On Better Managed Roads
![Page 19: The Benefits and Impacts of Roadway Access Management AASHTO Mississippi Valley Meeting Chicago, Illinois July 1999](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d935503460f94a7af61/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Safety: Iowa Case Studies
Seven Iowa case studies
Case studies show nearly a 40 percent average reduction in accident rates after access management projects were completed.

How to Manage Access
Maintain the functional integrity of the roadway system by: Limiting conflict points Separating conflict points Removing turning traffic from through
traffic lanes
![Page 25: The Benefits and Impacts of Roadway Access Management AASHTO Mississippi Valley Meeting Chicago, Illinois July 1999](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d935503460f94a7af61/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Conflict Points at Intersection
![Page 26: The Benefits and Impacts of Roadway Access Management AASHTO Mississippi Valley Meeting Chicago, Illinois July 1999](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d935503460f94a7af61/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Limiting Conflict Points: Medians
![Page 27: The Benefits and Impacts of Roadway Access Management AASHTO Mississippi Valley Meeting Chicago, Illinois July 1999](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d935503460f94a7af61/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Separating Conflict Points: Why?
Drivers can only mentally process one conflict point at a time
Separation also provides enough time and space for drivers to react to the unexpected
Conflict points represent opportunities for accidents, congestion, and delay
![Page 28: The Benefits and Impacts of Roadway Access Management AASHTO Mississippi Valley Meeting Chicago, Illinois July 1999](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d935503460f94a7af61/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Facilitating Turning Movements: Important Strategies
Increased turning radii (driveway flares)Increased driveway widthDecreased driveway slopeIncluding turn lanes or tapersImproved sight distance for turning trafficImproved internal site design

Business Vitality:
Business owners often oppose access changes or restrictions
Overall impacts on businesses are neutral to positive
Iowa study results mainly show: Lower business failure rates Improved retail sales levels Potential for land redevelopment Some individual businesses may be negatively
affected

Implementing Access Management
In most states, roadway jurisdictions are legally responsible for managing access and providing access to properties.
State legislation usually spells out the regulatory powers of roadway jurisdictions
Local governments can usually also manage access via land use regulations
![Page 43: The Benefits and Impacts of Roadway Access Management AASHTO Mississippi Valley Meeting Chicago, Illinois July 1999](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d935503460f94a7af61/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Who Wins When Access Management Is Done Right?
Motorists: safer, less congested roads
Taxpayers: less expensive roadsMost business persons and their
customers: improved business environment
Communities as a whole: environmental and other benefits
