Access management provides an important means of maintaining traffic flow, capacity <br /> and safety as properties are developed over time. It calls for effective ingress and egress to a <br /> facility, interconnectivity, efficient spacing and design to preserve the functional integrity, and <br /> overall operational viability of road systems. <br />
