Project Description

This project constructs a single lane urban roundabout with a northbound slip lane at the Larch Way/Logan Road and Locust Way intersection, providing intersection operations of LOS C in 2035 (rather than no-build operations of LOS F) and avoids Swamp Creek environmental buffers. The projects roadway improvements include curbs, gutters, and a shared-use path. In 2006 and in 2016, engineers completed a traffic signal warrants analysis, turn lane warrants, queue lengths analysis, and LOS analysis. At the time of both analyses the intersections conditions warranted a traffic signal with an eastbound left turn and right turn lane as well as a westbound left turn lane. The intersection met the 4-hour vehicle volume, peak hour delay, and peak hour volume warrants resulting in the recommendation for a traffic signal or a roundabout. Synchro and SimTraffic modeling software were used to evaluate the operations of the stop-controlled and signalized intersection. Using 2035 volume forecasts, the analysis recommended left and right turn lanes at each leg of the intersection with the signal alternative. Due to Swamp Creeks environmental buffers, these turn lanes were not feasible. The final decision based on the Traffic Analysis was to construct a single lane roundabout with a northbound slip lane. This will prevent the corridor from falling into arrears.
