Improve Traffic Flow (TLU Action 1.D.3)

Revise state guidance and policies to promote the use of appropriate measures to reduce congestion, improve traffic flow, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with motor vehicle travel. Although the New Hampshire Department of Transportation and local municipalities have control of intersection design and coordination, the public maintains a vital role in the development of traffic management solutions. Practical measures could include modern roundabouts at intersections, coordination of signalized intersections, and reduction of access points through improved access management. Policy options available to the state to promote improved traffic flow include outreach and education, issuance of technical guidance documents, and provision of funding assistance for the best examples of publicly supported projects. Selected actions would be developed with input from the professional planning/design community.
