A report is given on case studies of four interchange areas in Illinois. Analyses of land use and development, geometric design, accident records and planning and zoning facilities at each of these interchanges identified the following traffic and planning problems associated with interchange areas: (1) Local interchange area land-use may have little functional relationship to the major type of traffic using the interchange; (2) interchange area land-use is most likely to be functionally related to a secondary traffic service function of the interchange in terms of quantity of movement; (3) land-uses immediately adjacent to interchanges exert an influence on area traffic operations far in excess of the actual quantity of traffic which they generate; (4) there is little evidence that special planning or land-use control measures are effectively being applied in interchange areas by local agencies; (5) the most important existing design need in interchange areas is a stronger access control policy along the cross-route.
