Abstract:

Because arterial roadways handle a growing share of traffic, effective arterial management strategies play a critical role in congestion relief. In fact, arterial roadways need the most management because they perform the dual function of serving through traffic and providing access to abutting properties. Some of the management options in this guidebook involve Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies, road condition sensors, automated traffic signals, changeable message signs, and video surveillance cameras. The interstate highways surrounding most major metropolitan areas in the United States are served by ITS technologies that state highway departments have installed within the last decade. ITS is still relatively rare on arterial roadways. Some ITS technologies may be too expensive for many local governments to consider, but some are within reach, and all eventually will yield major benefits for your community. In this document some specific strategies for unclogging your community s arterial traffic flow will be discussed in detail.
