About the research

This research will develop a guide to assist Iowa municipalities, transportation agencies, and others in conducting studies on one-way to two-way street conversions. This guide will compile resources from previous conversion projects in Iowa and other Midwestern states, incorporating data and results from those studies. These will be augmented with the use of other data sets, such as crash data or probe vehicle speed data, for past conversion projects in Iowa for which such data is available. The guide will provide information on several aspects of conversions, including traffic operations, design and implementation, and stakeholder impacts. The guide will also include information to support benefit/cost analyses.
