Access <br />A comprehensive field inventory was conducted of all of the access points in the corridor. Two <br />basic types of accesses were counted, public and private. Table 7 displays the number of full - <br />access and the number of restricted -access points by segment. The inventory shows 74 access <br />points over the 5.1-mile corridor, or approximately 15 access points per mile. In some segments, <br />where there are a number of driveways and public streets, there are over 26 access points per <br />mile. A number of studies have demonstrated a relationship between the number of access <br />points and the number of crashes, including FHWA Access Research Repoli No. FHWA-RD-91- <br />044. The results of this federal study are presented in Figure 6. <br />Table 7 <br />Public and Private Access Points <br />Segment <br />A <br />B <br />C <br />D <br />Location <br />CSAH 7 (7th Ave.) <br />to TH 47 <br />TH 47 to CSAH 57 <br />(Sunfish Lake Blvd.) <br />CSAH 57 (Sunfish <br />Lake Blvd.) to <br />Sunwood Dr. <br />Sunwood Dr. to <br />CSAH 83 (Ainistrong <br />Blvd.) <br />TOTAL <br />Segment Number of Accesses(') Accesses <br />Length �a> Per Mile <br />(miles) Full T-Int.
