Signal timing along a corridor can increase the<br />

effciency of the street by allowing for the highest<br />

possible number of vehicles to pass through an<br />

intersection in the shortest amount of time. It also<br />

can improve the air quality of the city because<br />

travel time and idling are reduced. This technique<br />

can be used to increase capacity on corridors and is<br />

less expensive than adding lanes.<br />

Access Management defines a set of strategies<br />

to make the best use of existing transportation<br />

facilities and to enhance transportation<br />

improvements. Through strategies such as installing<br />

raised medians, and providing adequately spaced<br />

driveways, access management will significantly<br />

improve the level of safety, effciency, and<br />

effectiveness of the transportation system.<br />
