• Abstract:
  Maintaining, preserving, and enhancing the functionality of state and local roadways of our transportation system ; is important because it maintains capacity and efficiency, reduces potential for congestion, maintains safety, reduces ; the need for further (or unplanned) improvements, and protects the value of our investments in both transportation ; infrastructure and adjacent land development. It is important that functionality be considered and in all stages of a ; highway’s lifecycle. This report provides guidance on how to protect, preserve, and enhance highway functionality ; within the areas of planning and land development, operations and capacity, right of way, infrastructure and ; maintenance, and safety. Each of the five areas plays a part in establishing how well or poorly a highway may function ; and in meeting or preserving its intended function. The project includes case studies of the IH 10 Katy Freeway in ; Houston, SH 289 in Frisco and Plano, and SH 105 between the cities of Conroe and Montgomery, Texas. These case ; studies show how functionality changes over time and identifies opportunities to preserve or restore functionality. ; The report provides recommendations for how TxDOT, MPOs, local jurisdictions, and other transportation ; stakeholders and agencies can protect, preserve, and enhance the functionality of the state highway system in Texas. It ; represents report R1 of TxDOT research project 0-6208, Preserving Functionality/Asset Value of the State Highway ; System.
