KY 3005 (Ring Road) Extension Public Information Meeting #2

Project Update On November 13, 2013 the first public meeting for this project was held. Since then, field surveys, initial environmental analysis, traffic forecasts, and preliminary alternatives have been completed. Based KY 3005 (Ring Road) Extension on the public input received and the analyses conducted, the study from Western Kentucky Parkway to I-65 and US 31W, area has been reduced to the northern half of the initial area. including a new interchange with I-65 Also, since the last meeting the Kentucky Legislature enacted a new Six Year Highway Plan (2014-2020). The new plan includes funds for KYTC Item # 4-198.00 right-of-way acquisition, utility relocation, and construction. The Hardin County, Kentucky previous plan only had funds for the planning and design. Next Steps Based on your input tonight, our project team will continue to study the preliminary alignments to extend Ring Road east to I-65 and US 31W. The studies will include environmental analyses of the human and natural environment, design issues, cost, and public input.

Chapter 10 Grade Separations and Interchanges
2005 Grade Separations and Interchanges CHAPTER 10 GRADE SEPARATIONS AND INTERCHANGES 10.0 INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL TYPES OF INTERCHANGES The ability to accommodate high volumes of traffic safely and efficiently through intersections depends largely on the arrangement that is provided for handling intersecting traffic. The greatest efficiency, safety, and capacity, and least amount of air pollution are attained when the intersecting through traffic lanes are grade separated. An interchange is a system of interconnecting roadways in conjunction with one or more grade separations that provide for the movement of traffic between two or more roadways or highways on different levels. Interchange design is the most specialized and highly developed form of intersection design. The designer should be thoroughly familiar with the material in Chapter 9 before starting the design of an interchange. Relevant portions of the following material covered in Chapter 9 also apply to interchange design: • general factors affecting design • basic data required • principles of channelization • design procedure • design standards Material previously covered is not repeated. The discussion which follows covers modifications in the above-mentioned material and additional material pertaining exclusively to interchanges. The economic effect on abutting properties resulting from the design of an intersection at-grade is usually confined to the area in the immediate vicinity of the intersection. An interchange or series of interchanges on a freeway or expressway through a community may affect large contiguous areas or even the entire community. For this reason, consideration should be given to an active public process to encourage context sensitive solutions. Interchanges must be located and designed to provide the most desirable overall plan of access, traffic service, and community development.

Mr. Gupta Detailed the Current Status of India's Road Network and Its
Mr. Gupta detailed the current status of India’s road network and its maintenance: “The total length of the road network in India is 4.69 million km. It is the second largest road network in the world, just after the United States. ….. The national highways constitute 82,000 kilometers, 1.7 percent of the total length, and carry 40 percent of the total traffic.” “65 percent of total traffic and 90 percent of passenger traffic are being serviced by roads. The corresponding figures in the 1950s were 12 percent and 31.6 percent. The compounded annual growth rate of traffic on roads during the last two decades has been 9 percent. Road maintenance, however, is not commensurate with the traffic growth rate.” “The Indian Constitution assigns responsibility for the national highway network to the central government while State governments are responsible for developing and maintaining the state highways, major district roads, other district roads, and village roads. ….. The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways is the apex organization in the road sector in the country responsible for the planning, development, and maintenance of the national highways. It extends technical and financial support to state governments for the development of state roads, the connectivity of roads of interest and economic importance; it evolves the standards and specifications for roads and bridges in the country.” “Several road development programs are being implemented in the country. The first, the National Highway Development Program, is one of the world's largest road development programs. It comprises seven phases of development of more than 55,000 km of national highways; of which 21,000 km of road length has already been completed.” “Another is the Rural Road Development Program fully funded by the central government to supplement the efforts of the state governments in the construction and maintenance of the rural road network.

Document II-4 ENTRAL ORK OUNTY ONNECTIONS TUDY CENTRAL YORK COUNTY CONNECTIONS STUDY 1 INTRODUCTION This document summarizes the potential highway corridor improvements – called strategies – that are being tested and evaluated for Phase II of the Central York County Connections Study (CYCCS). Phase II Highway Strategies are a starting point in the development and consideration of candidate improvements for the study; they are not recommendations, nor are they the only strategies that will be studied. Phase II strategies are conceptual in nature, and not yet detailed, specific proposals. Strategies considered later in the study during Phase III, as well as those ultimately recommended by the study, may differ considerably from the initial strategies currently under evaluation in Phase II. Specific aspects of these initially proposed strategies may be dropped, carried forward or combined in different ways, depending on the results of the analyses conducted during Phase II. The study is guided by a Purpose and Need Statement, which articulates that the study is to identify transportation and related land use strategies that enhance economic development opportunities and preserve and improve the regional transportation system. Additional information on the study, including the full Purpose and Need Statement, is available at the project website: www.connectingyorkcounty.org.

What Are the Advantages of Roundabouts?
What is a roundabout? A roundabout is an intersection where traffic travels around a Circulatory central island in a counter- Truck Apron Roadway clockwise direction. Vehicles entering or exiting the roundabout must yield to vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians. Figure 1 presents the elements of a roundabout. Yield Line Splitter Island Figure 1: Elements of a Roundabout What are the advantages of roundabouts? • Less Traffic Conflict: Figure 2 compares the conflict points between a conventional intersection and a modern roundabout. The lower number of conflict points translates to less potential for accidents. • Greater safety(1): Primarily achieved by slower speeds and elimination of left turns. Design elements of the roundabouts cause drivers to reduce their speeds. • Efficient traffic flow: Up to 50% increase in traffic capacity • Reduced Pollution and fuel usage: Less stops, shorter queues and no left turn storage. • Money saved: No signal equipment to install or maintain, plus savings in electricity use. • Community benefits: Traffic calming and enhanced aesthetics by landscaping. (1) Statistics published by the U.S. Dept. of transportation, Federal Highway Administration shows roundabouts to have the following advantages over conventional intersections: • 90% reduction in fatalities • 76% reduction in injuries • 35% reduction in pedestrian accidents. Signalized Intersection Roundabout Figure 2: Conflict Point Comparison How to Use a Roundabout Driving a car • Slow down as you approach the intersection. • Yield to pedestrians and bicyclists crossing the roadway. • Watch for signs and pavement markings. • Enter the roundabout if gap in traffic is sufficient. • Drive in a counter-clockwise direction around the roundabout until you reach your exit. Do not stop or pass other vehicles.
