Book Description
Research was conducted to inform decisions related to the system of public rest area facilities owned by the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT). The initial steps of the research included collection of data related to the NDOT highway network (including road segment information, traffic volumes, and crashes), NDOT rest areas (including rest areas, basic rest stops, and welcome centers), and private facilities with comparable traveler services (e.g., bathrooms). These data were then analyzed to identify areas of unmet needs (i.e., service gaps) along the NDOT highway network that may be addressed by the inclusion of a new rest area facility or improvement to an existing facility. Additionally, the research also analyzed the safety performance impacts of roadside rest areas on the NDOT highway network. Based on these analyses, recommendations were made regarding: 1.) existing rest area facilities that should continue to be maintained at current levels, 2.) existing facilities that should be improved or relocated to fill gaps in traveler services and reduce crashes, and 3.) areas along the NDOT highway network where potential new facilities may be considered to fill gaps in traveler services and reduce crashes. The recommendations were based on meeting the needs of travelers on the NDOT highway network, with consideration given to the availability of both NDOT rest areas and comparable private facilities. To help prioritize the recommendations, benefit/cost ratios were computed to determine the economic viability for each proposed facility improvement by weighing the benefits to Nevada highway users against agency costs for each facility. A final list of recommended facility improvements was developed considering only those options that resulted in a benefit/cost ratio greater than 1.0.
