35 Implementing MOD and AVs will likely result in changes to rightsofway access, curb space management, and roadway design. This chapter provides information on each of these topic areas.

Rights-of-Way and Curbspace Management 39 Road Design Changes Road design has been the focus of recent efforts to enable existing transportation infrastructure to support AVs. AVs will need to be able to recognize and understand elements of road design to operate and gain access to areas including road ways and curbspace (e.g., highway onramp markings, yellow colored curbs for passenger loading)

42 Shared Automated Vehicle Toolkit: Policies and Planning Considerations for Implementation Bridges: When AVs become ubiquitous, they may enable more vehicles to fit on the roadway due to reduced headway. While this increased capacity may be beneficial as more vehicles can traverse the system, it also may prove problematic for bridges and other weightconstrained components of the roadway system.
