Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historical variation in research studies on rural growth and highway improvement over the last 40 years is both topical and methodological. One of the key difficulties in conceptualizing the relationship between rural growth and transportation improvement has been the complexity of rural growth. Population growth is part of rural growth, but since population growth depends directly on economic growth, these concepts have been intertwined since the 1950s. similarly, economic and population growth affect land use changes. Thus, we conducted a very broad search of the literature to characterize the very multidimensional concept of rural growth and its relationship to the highway transportation system. In the report summary, we review the most significant of these studies and describe their findings. The Bibliography that follows describes each study in detail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William E. Bivens, III For the first time in more than 160years, the nation's rural areas and small towns are growing faster than its metropolitan areas. The 1980Census of Population shows that the nonmetropolitan population increased by 15.4010 during the 1970s, while the metropolitan population grew by only 9.1010. During the 1960s, rural areas and small towns had lost some 2.8 million people to cities and their suburbs, but during the 1970s at least 4 million more people moved into nonmetropolitan areas than left them. This rural oriented population growth resulted from a number of factors, including a strong preference for rural and small-town living, the decentralization of manufacturing and related services,energyand other mining developments, William E.

Download or read book Traffic Sheds Rural Highway Capacity and Growth Management written by Lane Kendig and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even zoned rural communities can experience traffic network failure when development encroaches. Improving roads to meet demand is often financially impossible for rural counties. Implementing traffic sheds--a relatively new planning concept--offers one solution. Traffic shed analysis is worthy of consideration in counties where standard growth management techniques have been met with resistance and traffic congestion problems are starting to emerge. The traffic shed concept is, first, an analytical tool. If analysis indicates that traffic on existing roads is nearing or has exceeded available capacity, planners may use the results to persuade local officials to address growth issues. When used as a regulatory system, a traffic shed directs rural traffic in one directlon along designated county and township roads to major arterials leading to urban areas. Planners calculate road capacity, using standard transportation methodology, to implement a traffic shed system. The report is illustrated with maps, charts, and diagrams, and includes a detailed case study of traffic shed analysis and implementation in Williamson County, Tennessee.
