Does universal access prohibit controlled-access expressways?
No. Controlled access expressways and interstate highways may be prohibited to bicyclist and pedestrians as long as these facilities do not provide exclusive access to local destinations and are completely redundant to the network of streets and pathways that are accessible to those who are prohibited. Good controlled-access highways remove express and long-distance traffic from the local roads most needed by bicyclists and pedestrians for access to important destinations.
