Existing ConditionsThe south leg of the four-legged, two-way stop, intersection of E Goodlander and Lancaster Roads is the only ingress/egress for the City of Selahs Carlon Park and the Selah High School lower parking lot. The intersection becomes very congested during the peak times when school begins and is let out. The observed backups typically take between 20 and 30 minutes to disperse as the majority of traffic attempts to arrive or leave at the same time. There are numerous conflicts with slow moving buses not adequate gaps to make turning movements. Traffic is even worse for park softball tournaments and Friday night football games. Peak-hour traffic counts of 277 vehicles per hour on Goodlander may seem reasonable until realizing that approximately 80% of that volume occurs in a 20 minute period. |

Summary of Improvements
Description of Improvements
Installing a traffic signal at the intersection of E Goodlander and Lancaster will provide proper traffic control to the intersection and relieve the majority of the congestion. The vehicle actuated signal will provide proper signal timing during peak hours while allowing E Goodlander to remain the prominent through movement during non-peak periods. Widening the entrance to the parking lots will allow for a designated left-turn lane to be installed allowing for right on red movements. With the new traffic signal, a wider entrance to the parking lots, and a new left-turn lane the level of service of the intersection will be improved and vehicle delays will be drastically reduced.
