Abstract:

A cooperative research program of the Texas Transportation Institute, the Texas Highway Department, and the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads was undertaken to study the problem of access violations on controlled access facilities across the State of Texas. The author cataloged the access violations into 28 types. Each type defines the areas crossed during the violation maneuver. Aerial photos illustrate many of the types of violations. The extent of access violation locations and the causes of access violations are shown. The effectiveness of present control features as rated by the personnel completing the data collection forms is presented. Additional considerations concerning access violations such as types of violators, purpose of violations, average daily traffic, severity of violation, additional distance and/or time to go the legal route, and enforcement are discussed to furnish complete background information. The author shows the significance of the results and applications to traffic operations. The need for the study of wrong-way maneuvers on freeway exit ramps is emphasized.
