Access Management

Access management is a set of proven techniques to improve safety, reduce traffic congestion and ensures safe access to properties adjacent to a roadway. CUPPAD assists the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and communities with access management planning.

Access management can help:

      • Reduce the number of crashes and improve safety.
      • Reduce traffic congestion.
      • Preserve the flow of traffic.
      • Preserve the public investment in roads.
      • Enhance the value of private land development.
