Access management is the systematic control of the location, spacing, design, and operation of driveways, median openings, interchanges, and street connections to a roadway (TRB, 2003). Through the strategic application of access management techniques, roadway corridors can benefit from improved traffic safety and operations. In fact, when access management techniques are consistently applied, in addition to their safety and operational benefits, they will help to maintain or improve property values, facilitate bicycle and pedestrian activities, and provide continuity to the surrounding transportation infrastructure. All of these access management outcomes help to make the road purpose more compatible with the surrounding land use and community goals and objectives.
