• Abstract:
  The overall purpose of this project is to develop design guidelines for truck access to truck stop facilities adjoining interstate highways and accessed by interchanges in Louisiana. The specific objectives of the research are to: 1. Identify existing access design standards/guidelines in other states. 2. Inventory truck stops adjoining interstates in Louisiana, and record current access design and truck stop layouts. 3. Record good and bad practice in truck stop facility access design. 4. Evaluate current practice and recommend preferred guidelines. 5. Document recommended guidelines.
