Abstract The guidebook presents a methodology for assessing the land use and urban development impact of circumferential, limited access highways in urban areas. Included are measures and analytical procedures which address beltway effects on travel and location decisions, development decisions, land use policy, and capital improvement programming and the economic, social, and environmental consequences of these effects. Methods for mitigating potential adverse effects of beltway construction are proposed. The guidebook concludes with a tradeoff analysis designed to determine whether the beltway will be of 'net benefit' to the region.
