Abstract:

This report presents the results of an attitude survey concerning one-way and two-way freeway frontage roads. This research was part of a two-year study for developing warrants for conversion from two-way to one-way frontage roads. Interviews were conducted with 121 individuals in 15 different small and medium-sized cities in Texas. All of the 15 cities have freeways with two-way or one-way frontage roads. The results of the attitude survey showed that the increased safety associated with one-way frontage roads is universally recognized by all interest groups. Operational considerations, such as capacity, are much less understood. The survey found that city staff and city council members exhibit some views compatible with SDHPT interests. However, the results of the survey also suggest that city council members desire analyses of one-way versus two-way operation which are specific to the frontage roads in their city. On the other hand, and not unexpectedly so, the survey indicates that many persons with real estate or business interests are very "localized" in their views. Working closely with city staff and council persons may facilitate needed frontage road conversions to one-way.
