3/30/2023 0 Comments Roadway Improvements to Route US-9Route 9 was redesigned as a signalized intersection with sidewalk, bike lane, and buffer implementations throughout Route 9, Elton-Adelphia Road, and Halls Mill Road. The buffers are set to 3ft, and the bike lanes and sidewalks are 5ft wide. The signalized intersection improved the disconnectivity between the residential areas and local businesses by providing pedestrians with safe sidewalks and other means of transportation, such as biking, to get around the local area. Due to the new intersection redesign, the new design speed was set to 50 miles per hour. The redevelopment of the intersection is shown below.
Using Synchro, a representation of the new redesign of Route 9, Elton-Adelphia Road, and Halls Mill Road was created. Based on the collected traffic counts, the design scored a rating of B, which means that the design has a positive impact on the overall goal of the project, which was to improve the disconnectivity of the intersections while providing safety for pedestrians and cyclists. The model of the overall design is shown below.
