Abstract:

This paper explores the relationships between local plans and land use controls and highways and their use. The paper focuses on conceptualizing and analyzing the relationships between the most common types of local plans and land-use controls and the physical components and traffic characteristics of arterial highways. Local land-use controls that are based on the police power and are most widely used are examined. Subdivision and zoning regulations are emphasized because they are the starting point for almost every community's efforts to manage development. Several sophisticated or specialized types of controls employed by communities in conjunction with subdivision and zoning regulations are also addressed. The approach used in this paper has wide applicability and could be used to identify the impacts that local land use plans and local land use controls may have on the various levels of federal and state highways and local and state roads. It could also be used to examine the impacts that other types of local plans and land use controls, or federal and state environmental controls may have on highways and their use.
