Access Management Application Guidelines

TRB's Access Management Application Guidelines (AMAG) focuses on the applications of access management concepts and provides research-based guidelines on access management treatments and procedures for their applications. The AMAG is a how-to tool for continuing the evolution of access management applications in the United States. The AMAG addresses general access management concepts; policy-related development and implementation of access management programs; design of access elements, such as local access driveway design, corridor design, site design, and turn lanes; other access management considerations; and more. The AMAG also includes self-calculating spreadsheet tools that can be customized so that an agency can adapt AMAG recommendations to local standards.

The volume comes with a CD of analysis spreadsheets developed in Microsoft Excel that facilitate the application of the various techniques discussed in the guide.
