- Abstract
The 1956 Federal-Aid Highway Act prohibited commercial establishments from locating along Interstate rights-of-way. Previously, commercial facilities which catered to highway users had generally been allowed either to locate proximate to the highway wherever a site was available or were provided space at periodic intervals along toll roads or turnpikes. An empirical base of information is necessary if efforts to control land use at interchange locations are to be successful in allowing development to occur while maintaining efficiency in traffic movement. There have been virtually no investigation occurred relative to interchange location preference by developers of shopping centers. The purpose of this research note is to present an interpretative analysis of an investigation designed to reveal location preferences and practices of shopping center developers relative to interchange locations. The study is based upon information obtained from 70 developers of one or more shopping centers of at least 200,000 square feet and located proximate to an interstate interchange. The shopping centers are located in the southeastern United States.
