Abstract:The combined function of the urban arterial, that is, providing for traffic movement and land access, continues to be a major problem. Arterials are designed and built to serve primarily the movement function. As the abutting land develops, access to individual land parcels tends to reduce the effectiveness of the arterial in serving its primary function. Transportation engineers recognize the incompatibilities of movement and access on the arterial, but are unable to measure the effects distinctly because of the lack of objective measures. The research reported herein is an effort to identify measures of the effects of access on traffic movement through the application of the UTCS - I Simulation Program developed by the Federal Highway Administration.
