All phases of road developmentâ€"from construction and use by vehicles to maintenanceâ€"affect physical and chemical soil conditions, water flow, and air and water quality, as well as plants and animals. Roads and traffic can alter wildlife habitat, cause vehicle-related mortality, impede animal migration, and disperse nonnative pest species of plants and animals. Integrating environmental considerations into all phases of transportation is an important, evolving process. The increasing awareness of environmental issues has made road development more complex and controversial. Over the past two decades, the Federal Highway Administration and state transportation agencies have increasingly recognized the importance of the effects of transportation on the natural environment. This report provides guidance on ways to reconcile the different goals of road development and environmental conservation. It identifies the ecological effects of roads that can be evaluated in the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of roads and offers several recommendations to help better understand and manage ecological impacts of paved roads.

Paper 1: Social effects on highway users and nonusers are described, and reference is made to such effects as mobile and drive-in services and to the effect highways have on public services, opportunities for employment and nonwork activities, and residential patterns and characteristics. Paper 2: Statistical techniques applied to previous attempts to evaluate the impact of highway improvement on rural land values are discussed. Paper 3: Land-use adjustments at interchange locations and the importance of land-use regulation and control in preserving highway efficiency are discussed. Paper 4: The study method employed in a recent examination of the comparative economic impact of three alternative routes for an interstate highway in the vicinity of Mammoth Cave, KY, appears to have general significance for such planning inquiries. Paper 5: The theory of how combinations of factors, including highways, affect the level of economic development is explained.
