INTRODUCTION The purpose of this chapter is to provide design guidelines for improved Transportation Systems Management through the use of high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) facilities, including HOV lanes on freeways and arterials, commuter transfer facilities, and other mobility measures. These measures focus on moving people and goods efficiently, not just vehicles. Further information on planning, design and operation of these facilities may be found in the publications listed in Section 24.7 References and Section 24.8 Other Sources at the end of the chapter. Guidance on temporary mobility measures during construction is being developed for release at a later date, either as a chapter in this Manual, or as a separate manual. 24.1.1 Background New Yorkers pay a high price for congestion as a result of traffic tie-ups which reduce economic efficiency, increase the cost of products, exacerbate health risks from increased vehicle emissions and added mental and emotional stress, and expose travelers to greater accident risk. Strategies to reduce predicted levels of congestion and vehicular pollutants at a reasonable cost have been identified in the Scoping Procedure Manual as: 1. Reduce the proportion of single occupant vehicles in urbanized areas (with a population) of over 200 000 during the peak travel periods, 2. Increase ridership on traditional transit (line haul fixed route) and non-traditional transit (demand responsive and paratransit), 3. Incorporate Transportation Systems Management (TSM) and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) strategies to improve the operational efficiency of the existing transportation network with special emphasis on moving people and goods, and 4. Incorporate Travel Demand Management (TDM) strategies in the design of all new and expanded arterials. These strategies are described in detail in Mobility in New York State, Issues and Opportunities, which outlines a strategy for combating congestion in New York's most populated areas. The Regional Planning and Program Management Group, along with other functional units in the Region, should work through the development of the project to assure, among other things, that it is in conformance with applicable policies, procedures and guidelines, that it meets the project objectives, and that it is a socially, economically and environmentally compatible solution. A genuine consensus should be established among the Region's functional units about the nature of the proposed project and what it is supposed to accomplish and include before it is turned over to the designer. For a detailed description of the project scoping process, refer to the NYSDOT Scoping Procedure Manual. 5/4/98 §24.1 24-2 MOBILITY MEASURES 24.1.2 HOV Lanes The HOV lane concept is applicable only to corridors

When rear in terraced and detached/semi-detached houses. installed and properly used, alley-gates should control Moreover, an analysis of recorded crime data for the access to vulnerable target areas – usually paths or county of Merseyside shows that this pattern is alleys at the rear and to the sides of houses. Although particularly evident for terraced housing, with entry there are good reasons for thinking that alley-gates being gained via the rear of the property for around 72% should reduce burglary, there is as yet little hard of burglaries. The implication of such findings is that in evidence that they do. This will be available later in the theory, by restricting access to the rear of properties, year when evaluations of projects funded by the Crime alley-gating should have a very significant effect on Reduction Programme report their findings. In the burglary, although there are as yet no impact interim, however, the promise of alley-gating is enough evaluations of alley-gating schemes available.

LEWIS NATURE RESERVE in Risinghurst, and on up to SHOTOVER; then a restricted byway to HORSPATH, and back to Headington through fields to THE RIDINGS (under 5½ miles/8.8 km) Walking boots essential in the Horspath area after rainy periods (1) Bury Knowle Park in central Headington to Risinghurst Leave Bury Knowle Park via the main gate, turn left on to the London Road, and cross that road at the first pelican crossing (opposite St Andrew’s School). Continue a short way eastwards on the London Road, and then take the first turning on the right down Wharton Road. Take the second turning on the left into St Leonard’s Road. Take the first turning on the right into Holley Crescent, and when it curves right, turn left on to Vallis Alley, the footpath that starts between Nos. 22 and 20 Holley Crescent. (This is a remnant of the old funeral path that the people of Quarry used to take to get to St Andrew’s Church before their own parish church opened in 1849.) If the alley is crowded, it is possible to go into Margaret Road recreation ground on the right and get back out on to the path again just before the pavilion. Continue on Vallis Alley all the way to the end, then cross Quarry High Street and enter the footpath that is opposite (Chapel Alley). The former Quarry Methodist Chapel of 1860 is on your left. At the end of Chapel Alley turn left into Quarry Hollow, then take the first right into Quarry School Place, with Headington Quarry Nursery School (formerly Headington Quarry National School) on your right.

  • Chapter 9 Intersections
    2005 Intersections CHAPTER 9 INTERSECTIONS 9.0 INTRODUCTION Intersections are intended to operate with vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles proceeding in many directions, often at the same time. At such locations, traffic movements on two or more facilities are required to occupy a common area. It is this unique characteristic of intersections, the repeated occurrence of conflicts, that is the basis for most intersection design standards, criteria, and proper operating procedures. An intersection is defined as the general area where two or more highways join or cross, including the roadway and roadside facilities for traffic movements within it. Each highway radiating from an intersection and forming part of it is an intersection leg. The common intersection of two highways crossing each other has four legs. It is not recommended that an intersection have more than four legs. An intersection is an important part of a highway system because, to a great extent, the efficiency, safety, speed, cost of operation, and capacity depend on its design. Each intersection involves through or cross-traffic movements on one or more of the highways concerned and may involve turning movements between these highways. These movements may be handled by various means, such as signals, signing, and channelization, depending on the type of intersection. 9.1 GENERAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS AND OBJECTIVES The main objective of intersection design is to reduce the potential conflicts between motor vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, and facilities while facilitating the convenience, ease, and comfort of the people traversing the intersection. The design should be fitted closely to the natural transitional paths and operating characteristics of the users.
