Development of a Comprehensive Framework for Managing Decisions Regarding Highway Bypasses
| 项目名称： | Development of a Comprehensive Framework for Managing Decisions Regarding Highway Bypasses |
| 摘要： | Highway bypasses allow through traffic to travel around communities with minimal time delays. Since 1964, Iowa has constructed bypasses to divert traffic around almost 50 cities and towns, but more recently, has reversed course. The reversal is driven primarily by concerns of both citizens and businesspersons that they will draw business out of town - despite research indicating that bypasses appear to have much less impact on communities than is generally feared. Even though considerable research has been done on the economic impacts of bypasses, there is a surprising lack of research on the safety impacts. This project is intended to fill the gaps in the research literature and will result in a comprehensive assessment of bypass impacts and a policy framework regarding when it is prudent to bypass. |
