This paper presents the result of a study carried out to identify vehicle queue effects of driveway geometry based on statistical analysis of field survey data. The study is necessary to help transportation engineers apply highway access control more efficiently to achieve its full benefits such as diminished queue lengths in main roads as well as in driveways. We applied the multiple regression analysis to establish evidence based on vehicle queues and driveway geometric features. Our research showed that vehicle queues actually vary closely with driveway geometric conditions and that the presence of the speed bump and the crosswalk are the most important factors for increasing vehicle queue lengths. The research findings will contribute to our increased understanding of proper driveway designs when highway access control is the main research interest.
