Highway bypasses around rural communities in heavily traveled transportation corridors are viewed as a highly cost effective method of improving traffic flow along non-interstate transportation routes. However the bypassing of a central business district raises concerns among merchants and residents over possible adverse impacts to their businesses. After providing a historical perspective to the role of rural bypasses, this paper uses several approaches to assess the impacts of rural highway bypasses. First, the effect on overall retail sales in bypassed communities will be examined by comparing to cities without bypasses for comparable periods. Next, the total sales are decomposed into categories or classes of retail sales to analyze the impacts upon different types of businesses that may be examined through a personal survey of business operators in these bypass communities assessing their attitude to the bypass impacts.
