1 This practitioner's guide presents methods to help transportation planners, designers, and traffic engineers quantify the safety impacts of access management strategies and make more-informed access-related decisions regarding urban and suburban arterials. To achieve this objective, the guide presents methods to quantify the safety performance of individual locations (i.e., intersections or segments)

2 Application of Crash Modification Factors for Access Management strategies include driveway design elements, sight distance at unsignalized access, frontage/ backage roads, and shared driveways and internal cross connectivity. Chapter 3 also presents high-quality CMFs for these access management strategies on urban and suburban arterials.
