Describe the factors that significantly influence the location of highways in urban areas.
What will be an ideal response?
Connection to local streets is primarily a factor with design of freeways and
expressways such that traffic flow is made as efficient as possible. Right-of-way
acquisition, particularly in commercial and industrial areas, can be a substantial
expense; such costs often influence the available corridor width and the ultimate
design. The interaction between the many travel modes available in urban areas
requires coordination of the highway system with other transportation systems.
Adequate provisions for pedestrians and bicycles is important as increased use of
these modes can reduce energy use and traffic congestion.
