    TOLL ROAD SIGNS Section 2F.01 Scope Support: 01 Toll Highways Are Typically Limited-Access Freeway Or Expressway Facilities

    2009 Edition Page 237 CHAPTER 2F. TOLL ROAD SIGNS Section 2F.01 Scope Support: 01 Toll highways are typically limited-access freeway or expressway facilities. A portion of or an entire route might be a toll highway, or a bridge, tunnel, or other crossing point might be the only toll portion of a highway. A toll highway might be a conventional road. The general signing requirements for toll roads will depend on the type of facility and access (freeway, expressway, or conventional road). The provisions of Chapters 2D and 2E will generally apply for guide signs along the toll facility that direct road users within and off the facility where exit points and geometric configurations are not dependent specifically on the collection of tolls. The aspect of tolling and the presence of toll plazas or collection points necessitate additional considerations in the typical signing needs. The notification of the collection of tolls in advance of and at entry points to the toll highway also necessitate additional modifications to the typical signing. 02 The scope of this Section applies to a route or facility on which all lanes are tolled. Chapter 2G contains provisions for the signing of managed lanes within an otherwise non-toll facility that employ tolling or pricing as an operational strategy to manage congestion levels. Standard: 03 Except where specifically provided in this Chapter, the provisions of other Chapters in Part 2 shall apply to toll roads. Section 2F.02 Sizes of Toll Road Signs Standard: 01 Except as provided in Section 2A.11, the sizes of toll road signs that have standardized designs shall be as shown in Table 2F-1.

  • High Occupancy Toll Lanes in the Houston Area DESCRIPTION

    High Occupancy Toll Lanes in the Houston Area DESCRIPTION

    High Occupancy Toll Lanes in the Houston Area DESCRIPTION Communities in the United States use high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes as a way to maximize the capacity of existing high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. The attached paper describes the concepts and benefits of HOT lanes. ISSUES The Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (METRO) has approached the department with a request to operate HOT lanes on portions of five existing HOV lanes in the Houston/Harris County area. REFERENCES See attached description and background information. DESIRED ACTIONS The Commission will be asked to act on a proposed Minute Order authorizing the operation of HOT lanes on approximately 83 miles of existing HOV lanes in Harris County at the January 27th meeting. OTHER None. High Occupancy Toll Lanes in the Houston Area Under agreement with the department, the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (METRO) currently operates six high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes in the Houston area. These traditional HOV lanes expand the ability of these highways to move more people through the corridor by providing dedicated lanes to carpools, vanpools, and transit vehicles. Currently, the HOV lanes in Houston require a minimum of two or three passengers1 before a vehicle is eligible to use the lane. METRO has approached the department with a request that METRO be allowed to begin operating five of the HOV facilities as high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes: I-45 North Freeway: From downtown Houston to north of FM 1960 (19.9 miles); I-45 Gulf Freeway: From downtown Houston to Dixie Farm Road (15.5 miles); US 59 Eastex Freeway: From downtown Houston to Loop 494 (20.2 miles); US 59 Southwest Freeway: From downtown Houston to West Airport Boulevard (14.3 miles); and US 290 Northwest Freeway: From Northwest Transit Center to south of FM 1960 (13.5 miles).

    THE CONSERVATION-MINDED CITIZEN’S GUIDE TO TRANSPORTATION PLANNING How to Get Involved in Minimizing The Impacts of Roads on Florida’s Wildlife 1 May 2003 Acknowledgments Defenders of Wildlife is grateful to the Elizabeth Ordway Dunn Foundation for making this project possible. Our thanks to Bob Romig of the Florida Department of Transportation, Louise Fragala of Powell, Fragala and Associates, Tom Turton of URS Corporation and Laurie Macdonald and Laura Hood Watchman of Defenders of Wildlife for reviewing and improving the manuscript. Author: Jennifer McMurtray Editors: Tim Baker, Kate Davies Production Manager: Kate Davies Designer: Cissy Russell About Defenders of Wildlife Defenders of Wildlife is a leading conservation organization recognized as one of the nation’s most progressive advocates for wildlife and its habitat. Defenders uses education, litigation, research and promotion of conservation policies to protect wild animals and plants in their natural communities. Known for its effective lead- ership on endangered species issues, Defenders also advocates new approaches to wildlife conservation that protect species before they become endangered. Founded in 1947, Defenders of Wildlife is a 501(c)(3) membership organization with headquarters in Washington, D.C. and 450,000 members nationwide. Through its Habitat and Highways Campaign, Defenders works with state and local authorities and the public to reduce the impacts of roads on wildlife and habitat by 1) calling for modifications to existing roads where necessary to main- tain habitat connectivity and to allow wildlife to cross safely; and 2) ensuring that wildlife conservation and habitat preservation are an integral part of trans- portation planning.

  • Flexibility in Highway Design

    Flexibility in Highway Design

    Flexibility in Highway Design U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration Page i This page intentionally left blank. Page ii A Message from the Administrator Dear Colleague: One of the greatest challenges the highway community faces is providing safe, efficient transportation service that conserves, and even enhances the environmental, scenic, historic, and community resources that are so vital to our way of life. This guide will help you meet that challenge. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has been pleased to work with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials and other interested groups, including the Bicycle Federation of America, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Scenic America, to develop this publication. It identifies and explains the opportunities, flexibilities, and constraints facing designers and design teams responsible for the development of transportation facilities. This guide does not attempt to create new standards. Rather, the guide builds on the flexibility in current laws and regulations to explore opportunities to use flexible design as a tool to help sustain important community interests without compromising safety. To do so, this guide stresses the need to identify and discuss those flexibilities and to continue breaking down barriers that sometimes make it difficult for highway designers to be aware of local concerns of interested organizations and citizens. The partnership formed to develop this guidance grew out of the design-related provisions of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 and the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995. Congress provided dramatic new flexibilities in funding, stressed the importance of preserving historic and scenic values, and provided for enhancing communities through transportation improvements.

Environmental Defense is dedicated to protecting the environmental rights of all people, including the right to clean air, clean water, healthy food and flourishing ecosystems. Guided by science, we work to create practical solutions that win lasting political, economic and social support because they are nonpartisan, cost-effective and fair. The East of Hudson Rail Freight Operations Task Force is committed to the restoration of price- and service-competitive freight rail service in the areas of the New York metropolitan region east of the Hudson River. The Task Force seeks to accomplish this objective through bringing together elected officials, carriers and public agencies at regularly scheduled meetings where any issue that hinders or can assist in the restoration of competitive rail service is discussed openly. It is expected that all participants will work toward the common goal of restoring competitive rail freight service East of the Hudson. ©2004 Environmental Defense Printed on 100% (50% post-consumer) recycled paper, 100% chlorine free.
