Access Management Policy
What is Access Management?
Access management is the practice of coordinating the location, number, spacing and design of access points to minimize site access conflicts and maximize the traffic capacity of a roadway. Uncoordinated growth along some of the region’s major travel corridors has resulted in strip development and a proliferation of access points. In most instances, each individual development along the corridor has its own access driveway. Numerous access points along the corridor create conflicts between turning and through traffic which causes delays and accidents.
Historically, transportation and access management plans concentrated primarily on the movement of vehicles. Current planning efforts focus on all modes of transportation including vehicles, public transit, bicycles, and pedestrians. These guidelines consider all of these modes of transportation and discuss (1) the importance of managing access, (2) access management techniques, and (3) methods of implementing the techniques. The concepts presented are consistent with guidelines established by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the American Association of State Highway.
