When properly executed, good access management techniques help preserve transportation systems by reducing the number of access points in developed or undeveloped areas while still providing “reasonable access”. Common access related issues which could degrade the street system are: • Driveways or side streets in close proximity to major intersections • Driveways or side streets spaced too close together • Lack of left-turn lanes to store turning vehicles • Deceleration of turning traffic in through lanes • Traffic signals too close together Why Access Management Is Important Access management balances traffic safety and efficiency with reasonable property access.

They are arteries of communities, connecting residents to the things most central to their lives – friends and family members, their neighborhoods, and the places where they work and learn. Over time, however, cities and towns have prioritized space for cars, pushing people off the streets. Now, the long-term impact of car-oriented design is becoming more apparent. Traffic congestion and air pollution are wreaking havoc in many places. And, the lack of public spaces for people to gather is driving social isolation.

  • 30TH STREET ROAD DIET | OMAHA Public Information Meeting
    30TH STREET ROAD DIET | OMAHA Public Information Meeting City of Omaha Public Works Department Transportation Project Brand Guide HSIP-MAPA-5073(1), CN 22706 Updated May 2017 About the Project The City of Omaha has received funding to conduct a road diet project on 30th Street from Cuming Street to Ames Avenue with the goal of improving mobility and access along the 30th Street corridor while improving vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian safety. The proposed improvements would repurpose the roadway from a five-lane cross section to a three-lane cross section with room for on-street parking and bicycle lanes. This design reduces the number of lanes that left-turning vehicles must cross when turning, potentially creating a safer driving situation. Designating space for bicyclists and creating a buffer between the roadway and sidewalks potentially increases mobility and safety for those walking and biking. Proposed Improvements • Resurface 30th Street - Cuming Street to Ames Avenue • Repurpose roadway by restriping the existing five-lane section to a three-lane section with parking and bike lanes Enhance Safety Preserve Transportation Assets Improve Multimodal Connectivity ! 30TH STREET ROAD DIET | OMAHA Project Schedule City of Omaha Public Works Department Transportation Project Brand Guide Exisiting Conditions Updated May 2017 • Five-lane cross section • 7,000 to 14,000 average vehicles per day • Average of 84 crashes annually Goal • Improve mobility and access • Improve vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian safety Proposed Concept • Three-lane cross section This project is proposed to be constructed under traffic • Capacity for 15,000 vehicles per day with lane closures.

  • Residential Street Standards & Neighborhood Traffic Control
    Residential Street Standards & Neighborhood Traffic Control: A Survey of Cities' Practices and Public Officials' Attitudes Eran Ben-Joseph Institute of Urban and Regional Planning University of California at Berkeley Abstract The failure of the local street system to provide livability and safety in the residential environment can be seen in the application of neighborhood traffic management programs by local authorities to mitigate traffic problems. In order to further identify the extent of the conflict associated with "livability" and geometrical design of residential street, the following issues are examined: (1) Existing and proposed residential streets standards and regulations as practiced by various cities and their evaluation by public and city officials. (2) Traffic problems associated with residential streets and their mitigation through traffic management and control programs. Data are collected from Public Works and Traffic Engineering Departments of 56 Californian cities and 19 cities nation-wide. The findings show that most cities are still adhering to published street standards as recommended by different professional and federal organizations. Although some city officials see the need to amend certain aspects of their regulations and create a more flexible framework for street design, most of them believe that the current practice is satisfactory. Yet, the extant of residents' complaints about traffic problems on their streets might indicate an inconsistency between professional practice, as manifested in street design, and its actual performance as experienced by the residents. This can also be seen in the application of traffic control devices used by local authorities to mitigate these problems of which the most common are the installation of speed humps and 4-way stop signs.

Covey Jr. Northwestern University Law School Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/nlr Recommended Citation Frank M. Covey Jr., Control of Highway Access, 38 Neb. L. Rev. 407 (1959) Available at: https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/nlr/vol38/iss2/4 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Law, College of at DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. It has been accepted for inclusion in Nebraska Law Review by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. CONTROL OF HIGHWAY ACCESS Frank M. Covey, Jr.* State control of both public and private access is fast becom- ing a maxim of modern highway programming. Such control is not only an important feature of the Interstate Highway Program, but of other state highway construction programs as well. Under such programs, authorized by statute, it is no longer possible for the adjacent landowner to maintain highway access from any part of his property; no longer does every cross-road join the highway. This concept of control and limitation of access involves many legal problems of importance to the attorney. In the following article, the author does much to explain the origin and nature of access control, laying important stress upon the legal methods and problems involved. The Editors. I. INTRODUCTION-THE NEED FOR ACCESS CONTROL On September 13, 1899, in New York City, the country's first motor vehicle fatality was recorded. On December 22, 1951, fifty- two years and three months later, the millionth motor vehicle traffic death occurred.' In 1955 alone, 38,300 persons were killed (318 in Nebraska); 1,350,000 were injured; and the economic loss ran to over $4,500,000,000.2 If the present death rate of 6.4 deaths per 100,000,000 miles of traffic continues, the two millionth traffic victim will die before 1976, twenty years after the one millionth.

  • Dodge-Street-Sidewalk-Assessment
    Dodge Street Sidewalk Assessment Compiled by Mode Shift Omaha Walkability Team January 2021 1 Anecdotal evidence suggests people do not enjoy using sidewalks on Dodge Street in Omaha because they are unsafe and unfriendly. Mode Shift Omaha explored the validity of this perception. Volunteers used a checklist-type assessment tool and examined blocks from 10th Street to Westroads Mall. Findings include intimidating traffic, inconsistent conditions, crumbling infrastructure, obstructions to mobility, lack of maintenance, lack of clear consistent pedestrian path, inadequate crossings, poor timing on lights, and poor access for individuals with varying disabilities. Some stretches are designed well and we recommend building on their examples by implementing recommendations that require consistency, funding, and maintenance. One reason Mode Shift chose to study the Downtown - Westroads section of Dodge Street is the implementation of the new ORBT Bus Rapid Transit service in November 2020 and the discontinuance of the Route 2 Dodge St. local bus service. Route 2 bus stops averaged about ⅛-mile apart; ORBT stops are spaced an average of ½-mile apart. The adjacent 49th St. and 62nd St. stops are over a mile apart. Thus many Dodge St. transit customers must walk farther to their nearest ORBT stop, often using sidewalks along Dodge St. Methodology The Mode Shift Omaha Walkability Team, which includes a member who interns with the UNMC Munroe-Meyer Institute, assessed sidewalk conditions on Dodge Street, Omaha’s primary east-west artery. Members used a checklist-type assessment tool adapted from the National Highway Safety Association and informed by advocacy efforts of Mark Fenton (See Appendix A and B).
