<br /> <br /> <br />FDOT places a special emphasis on access <br />managelnent in the vicinity of interchanges. The main <br />purpose of an interchange is to move large volumes <br />of traffic between a freeway and the cross street. It is <br />the interface between the high-speed freeway and <br />lower speed crossroad. If there are intersections andl <br />or driveways in dose proximity to the interchange <br />ramps, the efficient functioning of the interchange can <br />deteriorate. Usually driveways located just after a <br />ramp are difficult to get into or out of, and many have <br />extensive accident history. The resulting congestion <br />near ramps can cause crashes and problems not only <br />on the crossroad but also on the freeway. In order to <br />preserve the capacity and safety of the interchange, <br />the area surrounding the interchange must be free of <br />conflicting movements. <br /> <br />Many businesses depend on trucks for deliveries <br />and other functions. We also realize that many trucks <br />are not typically abl~ to make certain movements (such <br />as U-turns), We strive to develop a plan that will <br />accommodate truck access to businesses in a manner <br />as convenient as possible. Sometimes this will require <br />that trucks follow a slightly different route to arrive <br />at the property. <br /> <br />BmineH Owner'~ Opiniom <br />% felt no inconvenience to tru(k~ <br /> <br /> <br />Even merchants and truck delivery staff felt access <br />management was an improvement <br />
