Title: Mitigating Wrong-Way Movements near Interchange Areas Using Access Management Techniques
Accession Number: 01557545
Record Type: Component
Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: Past studies indicated that interchange configurations, access control, and geometric design are related to wrong-way driving (WWD) and minor ramp geometric changes can be effective in reducing the number of wrong-way entries onto freeways. In this paper, access management techniques and geometric elements, which are capable of discouraging wrong-way maneuvers, are identified and discussed. Additionally, every aspect of these elements, including interchange types, exit ramp terminals, frontage roads, raised medians, channelizing islands, and control radius, and their relationship to WWD is investigated. Furthermore, a survey questionnaire was also designed to ask professionals to rank these elements based on the level of attention they received in different jurisdictions. The aforementioned elements should be given special consideration during the design stage of interchanges and intersections.
Supplemental Notes: This paper was sponsored by TRB committee AHB20 Freeway Operations.
