QUIZ 1 - AIRPORTDES
Closely spaced and irregularly spaced intersections could lead to potential induced friction in the flow of traffic due to frequent turn movements
FALSE
Signalized intersections are more common than unsignalized intersections
FALSE
Preservation of transportation infrastructure investment is one benefit of implementing appropriate access management policies in the community
TRUE
Providing access openings within the functional area could lead to decrease the number of conflict points and the crash rates.
FALSE
Driveway spacing is increasing the distance between traffic signals which improves the flow of traffic on major arterials, reduces congestion, and improves air quality for heavily traveled corridors
FALSE
Access design and location recognize that access control elements, just like traditional geometric elements, must progress in a logical manner that leads to improved travel capacity, safety, and maintenance of travel speeds
TRUE
Large and regular signal spacing inclines to provide efficient traffic progression on major urban arterials
TRUE
Access Management is the proactive management of vehicular access points to land parcels adjacent to all manner of roadways
TRUE
Access Management should address the following areas except:
Local streets
While full median openings are recommended at all signalized intersections; the _____ are emerging as safer and more efficient at unsignalized intersections between signals.
directional median openings
These are 3 major benefits in implementing access management except...
longer vehicle lifespan
The increase in the number of access points along a roadway corridor introduces additional conflict points, causing friction in traffic flow, higher potential of traffic crashes, and additional congestion and delay.
Access Spacing
It is the distance required by the driver to clear the intersection, and be able to perceive and react to a conflict downstream of the intersection
downstream functional area
They carry high volumes of traffic and provide long distance, high speed travel.
MAJOR ARTERIALS
It is defined as the distance between two successive at-grade signalized intersections, measured between the closer curb/edge of the intersection.
