Abstract:

Freight Roadway Design Considerations (FRDC), the document described in this paper, was developed by the Florida Department of Transportation District 7 to provide guidance to transportation planning and engineering practitioners for balancing livability and the needs of goods movement in a context-sensitive manner. The FRDC implemented one recommended element of the 2012 Tampa Bay Regional Strategic Freight Plan to develop a new approach to the roadway design process. This approach takes into consideration the analysis of freight activity and land use compatibility in the Tampa Bay plan. The FRDC benefited from a literature review of current practices and guidance from an internal review group and interagency coordination and commentary on draft materials throughout its development. The FRDC provides guidance on identifying roadway context, understanding and clarifying design intent, and selecting from a series of design strategies to help integrate goods movement into the development of complete streets.
