This report presents the results of an attitude survey concerning one-way and two-way freeway frontage roads. This research was part of a two-year study for developing warrants for conversion from two-way to one-way frontage roads. Interviews were conducted with 121 individuals in 15 different small and medium-sized cities in Texas. All of the 15 cities have freeways with two-way or one-way frontage roads. The results of the attitude survey showed that the increased safety associated with one-way frontage roads is universally recognized by all interest groups. Operational considerations, such as capacity, are much less understood.

The research project examined certain effects of converting the Interstate 30 (I-30) frontage roads in the central Arkansas area from two-way operation to one-way operation in 2002. The following characteristics before and after the conversion were studied: the number of crashes; traffic volumes; speeds; travel times between nodes; land use; sales taxes for certain businesses; and the opinions of business owners and operators in the corridor.

This report is part of a larger study developing a level of service evaluation procedure for freeway frontage roads. The results from this report will aid engineers in evaluating existing and proposed two-sided weaving sections on one-way frontage roads. The procedures developed can be used to estimate the level of service at these types of sections. This, in turn, will aid engineers in prioritizing frontage road improvement projects and/or predicting future operations. Also provided are recommended desirable and minimum exit ramp-to-intersection spacings. The results from this study will be incorporated into the final frontage road analysis package.
