The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) asked the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) at the University of South Florida to study land development and access management in interchange areas. The project reviewed policies and practices of local and state governments, identified issues and problems in managing interchange area development, and sets forth strategies for improvement. The study concludes that it is critical to create an uncluttered environment in the interchange area, with consolidated signage, median controls, and clearly identifiable access points. One way to achieve this is through the development of local access roads, as an alternative to successive driveways on the arterial. Access roads reduce driver confusion and improve traffic flow and safety.
