Interstate Access Justification Clause Samples

The Interstate Access Justification clause establishes the criteria and rationale required for granting access to interstate highways or transportation systems. In practice, this clause outlines the documentation, analysis, and approvals necessary to demonstrate that such access is warranted, often considering factors like traffic impact, safety, and regional connectivity. Its core function is to ensure that requests for interstate access are thoroughly evaluated and justified, thereby maintaining the integrity and efficiency of the transportation network while preventing unnecessary or unsafe access points.

The request must include an introduction that describes the proposed project along with a statement of need. The request must address at a minimum, the eight policy requirements outlined in the FHWA policy. The access request must provide an explanation of how the request satisfies each of the eight points in the policy requirements and a safety analysis utilizing Enhanced Interchange Safety Analysis Tool (ISATe) as detailed below. Supporting analysis to illustrate how those requirements are met must be included. As part of the IAJR, the Engineer shall complete an Existing and Future Safety Analysis. The Engineer shall gather geo-located crash data from the appropriate Agency (STATE’s ▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇ database) for the study area for the most current 5-year period. The information must be reviewed for completeness by the Engineer to assure all crashes relevant to the study area are accounted for and accurately represented in the database. Data must include characteristics such as crash type, severity, weather conditions, surface conditions, time of day, vehicle type, and driver condition. Utilizing the data collected, the Engineer shall conduct an existing safety analysis for the segments of I-35W, I-20, and State Highway 174 within the study area, including mainline, ramp merge/diverge areas, frontage roads and ramp terminals for the most recent 5-year period. A Future DocuSign Envelope ID: B4E47CBB-54AA-4467-B86B-B1C47B94F45E 2045 No-Build safety analysis must be performed utilizing the latest edition of Highway Safety Manual (HSM). ISATe software. A comparative safety analysis must be completed for one (1) preliminary proposed alternative and one (1) final proposed alternative using the HSM.
