SAFETY EFFECTIVENESS OF HIGHWAY DESIGN FEATURES. VOLUME I: ACCESS CONTROL

This is the first volume in a series of six publications providing research results on the safety effectiveness of highway design features. This volume discusses the relationship between access control and accidents. The information relates both to freeways and nonfreeways. Both urban and rural areas are discussed, but city streets are not included. The results of studies which identify measures which can be used to control access on nonfreeways are also presented.
