TY - JOUR PY - 1989// TI - Local rural roads: a policy analysis JO - Journal of the transportation research forum A1 - Hamlett, C. A1 - Brennan, S. A1 - Baumel, C. SP - 1 EP - 8 VL - 30 IS - 1 N2 - The local rural road system is in a state of national deterioration while at the same time traffic demands are shifting. A traffic simulation model is used with data collected through personal interviewing to investigate several policy options for the rural road system. Policies include abandonment, conversion of low-volume roads to low-maintenance, returning some roads to private ownership, and reconstructing bridges. Results suggest that optimal restructuring of the system will include multiple investment and disinvestment policies and will vary by state and locations within states.
