  • Section 1: Experience of Firm
    Current Toll Road Activity in the U.S. A Survey and Analysis Prepared for Office of Transportation Policy Studies By Benjamin Perez Steve Lockwood January 2009 Final Report Current Toll Road Activity in the U.S. A Survey and Analysis “Tolling is shaping up as one of the biggest philosophical changes in transportation policy since the toll- free Interstate highway system was created under President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956.” New York Times 4/28/2005 1.0 Introduction The expanded use of tolling was promoted in the last two rounds of federal highway program reauthorization and today tolling is the subject of increasing interest as a potentially important funding source for transportation improvements and as a mechanism for managing congestion in metropolitan areas. Both the National Surface Transportation and Revenue Study Commission and the National Surface Transportation Infrastructure Financing Commission recognized the importance of toll revenues and related institutional arrangments. At a time when the motor fuel tax—the primary Federal resource dedicated to the nation’s transportation needs—is becoming increasingly constrained, it is essential to understand more fully the roll played by alternative funding sources at the state and local level. Since ISTEA of 1991, there has been considerable learning regarding toll project development—including new tolling and pricing technology, new types of projects (such as HOT lanes), new forms of public-private partnership and new state and local processes to better organize toll project development. The potential role of toll roads is of special importance as the future of the federal aid program is under consideration – including the systems, the program structure and the funding.

  • I-83 EXIT 4 IMPROVEMENTS the Proposed Improvements Are at the Exit 4 Interchange of Interstate 83 (I-83) and Route 851 in Shrewsbury Township
    HOW DDI WORKS I-83 EXIT 4 IMPROVEMENTS The proposed improvements are at the Exit 4 Interchange of Interstate 83 (I-83) and Route 851 in Shrewsbury Township. The area surrounding the interchange has seen extensive growth that the existing interchange can no longer accommodate. There are high levels of congestion, traffic backs up onto I-83 and the bridge carrying I-83 traffic over Route 851 is structurally deficient. The purpose of the project is to ease congestion, increase capacity, and improve safety for motorists and pedestrians, by constructing a diverging diamond interchange (DDI). A diverging diamond interchange (DDI) is unique from a standard diamond interchange in that the side road traffic Route 851 PROJECT OBJECTIVES crosses to the left side of the road at a signalized intersection prior to the bridge. This allows direct left turns from the off-ramps to Route 851 and allows for a direct left turn on to the on-ramps to I-83. The side road (Route 851) traffic crosses back to the Eliminate traffic back-ups on the right side of the road at a signal beyond the bridge. ramps from I-83 to improve safety The DDI configuration has an operational advantage over the standard diamond in that it has only 2 phases per signal cycle versus 3 phases. This allows the DDI to provide more green time to traffic, alleviating congestion. Additionally, because of Increase capacity and reduce the direct left turns, there are fewer conflict points than a standard diamond, which reduces the crash rate and crash severity. congestion though the project area As of April 2018, 96 diverging diamond interchanges (DDIs) have been opened to traffic in the United States.
