A CCESS M ANAGEMENT P LAN (2018)
The City of Fort Worth’s 2018 Access Management Policy provides guidelines for planning, regulating, and designing access between roadways and land development while ensuring the safe and efficient movement of regional traffic. Access management programs can lead to significant benefits such as a reduction in crashes, an increase in roadway capacity, and a reduction in travel time and delay. Based on the different street types defined in the Master Thoroughfare Plan, the Access Management Policy regulates roadway design features such as spacing requirements for roadways, intersections, and interchanges, design criteria for right-, left- and U- turns on auxiliary roads, and etc. It emphasizes the importance of flexibility in implementing access spacing requirements to balance access management goals with the limitations of a development site.
