WHAT THIS IS ABOUT
Conversations about how we use our roadway space often spark lively debates among engineers, planners, and community members. The inherent physical constraints of our streets bring opposing interests into competition. Transportation professionals have tools and standards to understand the needs of different modes and street uses, but there are few resources available to evaluate tradeoffs between these uses. Instead, unspoken assumptions about roadway priorities—often in direct conflict to stated vision and goals—govern what decisions are made.
NCHRP Report 1036 Roadway Cross Section Reallocation: A Guide, provides a framework for decision-making that promotes transparency and helps support community priorities. This resource quantifies the impacts of street cross section changes on safety, environment, economy, and quality of life. It presents a new framework for evaluating traffic operations which considers the all-day performance of a street beyond the peak hour.
