End Homework No.3 Homework No.3 For the access management techniques presented in the class, each student needs to find at least one picture or figure to graphically present at least 5 access management techniques (for one technique, at least one picture or figure is needed.). Students may search web sites or take pictures from streets to meet the requirements. * Chapter 4 Access Management and Traffic Safety A. Concept of Access Management Definition of Access Management - Access management is the systematic control of the location, spacing, design, and operation of driveways, median openings, interchanges, and street connections to a roadway. - The purpose of access management is to provide vehicular access to land development in a manner that preserves the safety and efficiency of the transportation system. (Fig. 1-4)(Fig. 1-5)(Fig. 1-7) Roadway Classification - Roadways are classified by function on the basis of the priority given to land access versus through-traffic movement (Figure 1-1). - Access management is particularly important along arterials and other primary roads that are expected to provide safe and efficient movement of traffic, as well as access to property. 3. Access Management and Multimodal Needs - A comprehensive access management program supports safe and efficient operations for all modes of transportation (including vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, etc.). 4. Importance of Access Management - The transportation and land use cycle begins as major improvements in the roadway system change the accessibility of land. Improved accessibility causes land values to increase and stimulates real estate development. (Figure 1-2). - An effective access management program can reduce crashes as much as 50%, increase roadway capacity by 23% to 45%, and reduce travel time and delay as much as 40% to 60%. - By managing roadway access, government agencies can extend the life of roads and high-ways, increase p
