TRB's newest publications on access management draw on national and state research to respond to the need for a more coordinated approach to transportation and community design that preserves the safe and efficient movement of peoples and goods, provides supporting networks in developed areas, and reinforces desired urban form.
Effective local access management requires planning as well as regulatory solutions. Communities should establish a policy framework that supports access management in the local comprehensive plan, prepare corridor or access management plans for specific problem areas, and encourage good site planning techniques. Land development and subdivision regulations should be amended accordingly and communities may also consider a separate access management ordinance.
TRB E-Circular 214: International Practice in Highway Access Management: A Primer explores the international status of access management through the use of a survey of transportation researchers or professionals from eight countries to document their understanding of access management practices in their country. Authors of each country report were asked to focus on critical issues of the concept and provide specific information (if existing) with regard to historical background; legal framework; roadway function; access control schemes; land use and development regulation; enforcement schem

Technical Recommendations for Highways:
The Technical Recommendations for Highways consists of a series of publications that describe recommended practice for various aspects related to highway engineering. The documents are based on South African research and experience and have the support and approval of the Committee of Transport Officials (COTO). The documents are primarily aimed at ensuring uniform practice throughout South Africa.

Philip Demosthenes
Access Program Framework
Internationally, an access management program framework will vary by type of government, culture and established preferences in roadway design and traffic engineering. Mr. Demosthenes will use personal experiences from the USA, Greece, and Dubai and Abu Dhabi of the United Arab Emirates (U.AE.) to present and discuss some universal access management issues and principles for agency programs.
