Rule 761-112.1 - Scope and contact information

(1)Statement of policy. All primary highways are controlled access facilities. The efficiency and safety of a highway depend to a large extent upon the amount and character of interruptions to the movement of traffic. The primary cause of these interruptions is vehicular movement to and from public roadways, businesses, residences, and other developments along the highway. Regulation and overall control of highway access are necessary to provide efficient and safe highway operation and to utilize the full potential of the highway investment. Each highway access connection should be located and designed to achieve the least adverse impact to traffic operations and public safety. Accordingly, the department hereby establishes rules for control of access for all primary highways.

(2)Contact information. Information regarding this chapter may be obtained from the department's website at: www.iowadot.gov; any of the department's six district offices; or the Traffic and Safety Bureau, Iowa Department of Transportation, 800 Lincoln Way, Ames, Iowa 50010.
