The spacing of crossroads in the vicinity of interchanges can have operational and safety impacts on a street system. The deployment of access management strategies in these areas can also have potential influence on the economic vitality of a roadway network, but how best to balance these critical issues with access management strategies in not yet fully understood.

The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 977: Access Management in the Vicinity of Interchanges, Volume 2: Research Overview summarizes the research so far for access management in the vicinity of interchanges.

This is the second volume to NCHRP Research Report 977: Access Management in the Vicinity of Interchanges, Volume 1: Practitioner’s Guide.
