Glossary of TermsAccess ManagementAccess management is the process or developmentof a program intended to ensure that the majorarterials, intersections and freeway systems serving acommunity or region will operate safely and efficientlywhile adequately meeting the access needs of theabutting land uses along the roadway (FHWA, ITE,2004). Implementing access management techniquescan help increase roadway capacity, managecongestion and reduce crashes. Examplesof less obvious benefits, in the caseof businesses, include: reduction inmaintenance and other costs byutilizing shared driveways oreliminating entrance/exit pointsand increased road frontageand improved aestheticsas a result of eliminatingdriveways.There are a number ofphysical design and policyrelatedtools and techniquesthat can be used to achieveaccess management. Someof the basic design principlesare described below:1) Provide a specializedroad system—design and manage roadways accordingto the function they are intended to provide.2) Limit direct access to major roadways—preserve the traffic function of higher volume roadsserving regional thru traffic.3) Promote intersection hierarchy—intersectiontypes should reflect roadway hierarchy. For example,two major arterials would form a junction as would adriveway and a local street.4) Locate signals to favor through movements—Allows for better coordination of signals, continuousmovement of traffic at the desired speed and reducesdelays.5) Preserve the functional areas of intersectionsand interchanges—The area where motorists respondto the intersection or interchange is the area requiredfor safety and efficiency. Access points too close tointersections or interchange ramps should be avoided.6) Limit the number of conflict points—Simplifying the driving environment by limiting thenumber of conflict points among vehicles, pedestrians,bicyclists and transit helps improve safety.7) Separate conflict areas—Traffic conflictscan also be reduced by separating conflict areas.Encourage less cluttered sight distance for the motorist,thus allowing longer reaction time andimproving safety.8) Remove turning vehicles fromthrough traffic lanes—When turning vehiclesare removed from through traffic lanes, better trafficflow and is maintained, roadway capacity is betterpreserved and safety is improved.9) Use non-traversable medians tomanage left-turn movements—Researchshows the majority of access-related crashesinvolve left turns. Use medians to channelturning movements.10) Provide a supporting street systemand circulation system—Well-plannedcommunities with a supporting network oflocal and collector streets, unified propertyaccess and circulation systems are better ableto accommodate development.(Information from TRB Access Management Manual, 2003)Civic Entrepreneur“Civic Entrepreneur” is a phrase coined in 1997 in thebook “Grassroots Leaders for a New Economy—HowCivic Entrepreneurs are Building Prosperous Communities”by Collaborative Economics. The basic principle of civicentrepreneurship is that an individual of influence, beit social, economic, political or some combination ofthese, chooses to volunteer their time and attention fora greater good at a large scale. Often associated withregional initiatives, civic entrepreneurs are known touse their connections and resources to lead opinionsand bring visibility to large-scale initiatives.Collaborative Economics state that civic entrepreneurs“…have the personality traits commonly associatedwith entrepreneurial business leaders.
