Below is the uncorrected machine-read text of this chapter, intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text of each book. Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.
176 1. Do you quantify the safety effects of access management strategies to support related decisions? a. Yes b. No 2. Do you have a policy or procedure for assessing the safety effects of access management strategies? a. Yes b. No 3. Do you track safety-related performance measures after implementing access management strategies? a. Yes b. No 4. What are your priority needs to estimate the safety effects of individual access management strategies or combinations of strategies? (Please prioritize as 1 or 2 with 1 being the higher priority) a. Safety effects of individual strategies (e.g., relocate driveway, close median opening) b. Safety effects of combination strategies (e.g., install non-traversable median and consoli- date driveways along a corridor) 5. What are your priority needs in terms of the level of analysis? (Please prioritize as 1, 2, or 3 with 1 being the highest priority) a. Site (e.g., modify design of individual driveways or turn lanes, install isolated medians) b. Intersection (e.g., establish corner clearance criteria, install left-turn lanes, convert to roundabout, convert to restricted crossing U-turn) c. Corridor (e.g., manage location and spacing of access points, install medians, convert undivided to TWLTLs) 6. What are your priority needs in terms of access management strategies? (Please prioritize each of the following strategies as 1, 2, or 3 with 1 being the highest priority) a. Alternative intersection and interchange design EXAMPLE: Install roundabout, install superstreet (RCUT, J-Turn), provide median acceleration lane b. Control driveway design elements EXAMPLE: Change movement restriction, require appropriate return radii, throat width, etc. for the type of traffic to be served c. Control intersection design elements EXAMPLE: Control turning radius d. Convert two-way streets to one-way operation EXAMPLE: Reduce potential conflicts and turning movements e. Establish corner clearance criteria EXAMPLE: Remove/relocate driveways within func- tional area of signalized intersections f. Improve cross connectivity EXAMPLE: Allow vehicles to access adjacent properties without returning to the mainline A P P E N D I X A Survey Questions
Survey Questions 177Â Â g. Install continuous TWLTL on undivided highway EXAMPLE: Implement road diet and non-road diet scenarios h. Install left-turn lanes EXAMPLE: Install left-turn lanes, channelize left-turn lanes i. Install non-traversable medians, and accommodate left turns and U-turns EXAMPLE: Convert undivided highway, TWLTL, or traversable median (non-TWLTL) to non- traversable median; install isolated median barriers j. Install right-turn lanes EXAMPLE: Install right-turn lanes, channelize right-turn lanes, improve design elements of right-turn lanes k. Install service or frontage roads EXAMPLE: Install frontage road to provide access to parcels l. Manage location and spacing of unsignalized access EXAMPLE: Establish maximum driveway density, establish minimum driveway spacing, consolidate driveways m. Manage spacing of traffic signals EXAMPLE: Establish traffic signal spacing criteria n. Manage location, spacing, and design of median openings and crossovers EXAMPLE: Regulate median opening density and spacing, replace full median opening with direc- tional median opening, install U-turns as alternative to direct lefts o. Manage the spacing of signalized and unsignalized access on crossroads in the vicinity of freeway interchanges EXAMPLE: Establish spacing criteria between interchange ramp ter- minals or between ramp terminals and adjacent driveways or intersections p. Provide adequate sight distance at access points EXAMPLE: Manage vegetation to improve sight distance, manage design elements to improve sight distance 7. Are there other access management strategies or combination(s) of strategies that should be prioritized in this project? a. Yes b. No 8. May we follow up with you for additional information?
