Had an intersection similar to that in the north end of the county.
State road crossed a 4 lane highway.
Seems like bad wrecks weekly.
State bucked and snorted….
Too much $$ to put in stop lights….
We don’t stop traffic on a 4 lane….
They do, further north on the same road.
Finally they made it where you can’t go start across the 4 lane. You gotta turn right. Go about 1/4” mile. Then double back.
Cut wrecks down to almost zero. Minimal $$ spent.
That’s the super street design I mentioned above. It likely will require some widening of the secondary road to accommodate concrete medians, as well as concrete medians on the US route. Depending on traffic volumes it may even require stoplights. We’ve used it in NC in rural and urban areas; the urban areas was more for traffic mitigation on the primary route and rural it was to prevent left turns to decrease accidents.
