| Summary: | a tool to evaluate the effects of access management Administrations s TRAF-NETSIM computer simulation program as alleviate this problem. Access management is an alternative areas have resulted in the search for new ways to control the because of its well known reputation in replicating traffic code U-turns. conditions. Three four-lane arterials with half-mile signal designs. The major finding seems to be that TRAF-NETSIM may effort to prove that the former could be as efficient as the increase the efficiency and safety of arterial streets. This later. The results were not conclusive though there appears many problems that it presents for this type of application. not be the best tool to study access management due to the research investigates the use of the Federal Highway signal spacing and no access control were compared in an signal spacing, and median treatments, access management can spacing and restrictive median breaks with directional left- The increasing congestion problems faced by most metropolitan The most relevant to this research being the difficulty to to be a trend indicating more efficiency with the four-lane to lane additions. Through the control of access driveways, traffic congestion problem. Most cities have relied for treatments on urban arterial streets. TRAF-NETSIM was chosen turn ingress and three six-lane arterials with quarter-mile years in the addition of new lanes to existing streets to |
