Component

Laying the groundwork for a comprehensive, legislatively-endorsed regulatory program of access management in a given state should, of course, include a careful analysis of that state's judicial decisions relating to access, but also entail an assessment of the proposal's prospects in the legislature and the risks inherent in offering up proposed legislation to lawmakers with varied and, perhaps, indiscernible constituencies and motivations. Despite such sobering considerations, it can be stated with relative confidence that the case law of the vast majority of states does not, itself, prevent the enactment of a substantial and effective regulatory program of access management. While in some states, for example, a transportation agency might be unable to close an existing driveway, absent the payment of compensation, or "reasonable access" is interpreted more liberally to favor the landowner, traditional regulatory measures such as design requirements, median installations, and turn limitations remain available to almost every jurisdiction. Such measures can provide the substance of an effective regulation-based program of access management, particularly when combined with functional highway classification schemes and the like.
