Access Management, as a practice, has been around for many years. From the start it held much promise for improving safety and operations. Over the years we have tried to institute good Access Management practices but we have learned some lessons along the way. We have learned how to do lots of things that have a positive impact, but we have also begun to learn that some of the access management techniques may have negative impacts when used inappropriately. This paper will show what we have learned about a few techniques which, if we don't use wisely, can be called, "Dumb Access Management Tricks". We may make some of these mistakes when doing the following: Frontage roads; Over abundant right turn lanes; Continuous right turn lanes; Too narrow driveways; Trying to control left turns without a median. This paper also gives strategies that can help you avoid some of the common mistakes in access management.
