7 C H A P T E R 2 As introduced in Chapter 1, the incorporation of volume reduction approaches into urban highway projects can yield significant benefits, but VRA analysis can also increase the complexity of the project development process. Planning and designing for volume reduction can introduce new elements that need to be coordinated with other aspects of the design.
