City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved: XXXXX <br />B-7 <br />2.3 ACCESS MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES <br /> <br />Access management guidelines are developed to maintain traffic flow on the network so <br />each roadway can provide its functional duties, while providing adequate access for <br />private properties to the transportation network. This harmonization of access and <br />mobility is the keystone to effective access management. <br /> <br />Mobility, as defined for this Transportation Plan, is the ability to move people, goods, <br />and services via a transportation system component from one place to another. The <br />degree of mobility depends on a number of factors, including the ability of the roadway <br />system to perform its functional duty, the capacity of the roadway, and the operational <br />level of service on the roadway system. <br /> <br />Access, as applied to the roadway system in Arden Hills, is the relationship between <br />local land use and the transportation system. There is an inverse relationship between <br />the amount of access provided and the ability to move through-traffic on a roadway. As <br />higher levels of access are provided, the ability to move traffic is reduced. The graphic <br />below illustrates the relationship between access and mobility. <br /> <br />Figure B.2 – Roadway Mobility/Access Relationship <br /> <br />Roadway Mobility/Access Relationship <br />Dr <br />a <br />f <br />t <br /> <br />11 <br />/ <br />2 <br />0 <br />/ <br />2 <br />0 <br />1 <br />7
