This research project investigates frontage roads as an element of limited-access highway design. The discussion in this paper reviews legal statutes affecting public access to roadways, summarizes studies on access-right valuation, and considers a variety of operational issues associated with frontage roads. Ongoing, additional investigative efforts regarding policies and practices in other states, construction costs, and design comparisons aim to produce a comprehensive assessment of the benefits and costs entailed by frontage road provision. The ultimate results of this two-year project seek to enable the Texas Department of Transportation to objectively weigh the costs and benefits of frontage roads and modify practices so that the best projects for the state and its communities result.
