Abstract:

In September 1958, a committee composed of members of the Texas Highway Department and the Texas Municipal League was formed to investigate and make recommendations on city-state median practices. It was the intent of this committee to develop information on the effect that the addition of the median would have on a facility's ability to handle traffic more efficiently and safely and the effect that it would have on the local businesses. This information could then be used as a basis for evaluating future potential median sites to determine if a median type of facility should be installed. The Texas Transportation Institute, as the official research agency of the Texas Highway Department, was asked to conduct the actual research program for the Committee. Three study sites, involving a heavily traveled route in a large city (San Antonio), a moderately traveled route in a medium sized city (Baytown), and a lightly traveled route in a small town (Pleasanton), were selected for the analysis. Because of the variations in the conditions under observation, findings of these three studies are being released as separate reports. This report concerns the median study in Pleasanton, Texas. However, a statement of general conclusions concerning all three areas is included in each of the reports. For more detailed information, the other reports should be obtained.
