Description
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this project is to develop a process where a complete and systematic
evaluation of intersection design alternatives is achieved. The alternatives should address operational
and safety efficiency for all roadway users. Intersection alternatives should consider both geometric
design and operational elements, such as number of lanes, auxiliary lanes, lane usage, and traffic
control. The traffic control options should evaluate the use of sign, traffic signal, and roundabout
options and determine the most appropriate control for the particular location. This will allow for a
more appropriate and properly customized design for each section and avoid the use of "standard or
typical" designs. Moreover, this approach will provide a properly justified and documented decision
process that could become part of the design file for the project and it would be based on sound
engineering judgment.
