Although particularly evident for terraced housing, with entry there are good reasons for thinking that alley-gates being gained via the rear of the property for around 72% should reduce burglary, there is as yet little hard of burglaries. The implication of such findings is that in evidence that they do.

Continue a short way eastwards on the London Road, and then take the first turning on the right down Wharton Road. Take the second turning on the left into St Leonard’s Road. Take the first turning on the right into Holley Crescent, and when it curves right, turn left on to Vallis Alley, the footpath that starts between Nos. 22 and 20 Holley Crescent. (This is a remnant of the old funeral path that the people of Quarry used to take to get to St Andrew’s Church before their own parish church opened in 1849.) If the alley is crowded, it is possible to go into Margaret Road recreation ground on the right and get back out on to the path again just before the pavilion. Continue on Vallis Alley all the way to the end, then cross Quarry High Street and enter the footpath that is opposite (Chapel Alley). The former Quarry Methodist Chapel of 1860 is on your left.

  • Chapter 9- the Circulation Plan (PDF)
    CHAPTER 9- THE CIRCULATION PLAN The Circulation Plan in Middletown is coordinated with the State's system of expressways, including Interstate Route 91 about to be completed, Route 9 in the Connecticut valley and the future Route 6A across the State. Middletown needs a thoroughfare between Route I-91 near Country Club Road and the center. The Circulation Plan is also coordinated with the development of downtown Middletown, already described, including the circumferential "ring road" around the center. Regional Expressways The plan which the State Highway Department has made for a state-wide expressway system includes three such routes which traverse Middletown. Interstate Route 91 is under construction from New Haven northward and crosses the western part of the City. Meeting the Connecticut Turnpike at New Haven, this will be the principal approach to Middletown from the southwest, including metropolitan New York. This is scheduled to be completed by the end of 1965. Route 9 is the principal north-south artery of the Connecticut Valley. It passes through Middletown center as an at-grade boulevard along the riverfront mixing local and through traffic. South of the center, it has been improved as a four-lane expressway to a point near the Haddam town line. Its rebuilding as an expressway to the Connecticut Turnpike at Old Saybrook will be undertaken shortly. North of Middletown Route 9 will soon be relocated and rebuilt as an expressway, turning westerly from its present line to join I-91 in the western part of Cromwell. Thus traffic to Middletown from Hartford and the north will start on I-91 and transfer to the new Route 9 a few miles north of the City.

  • Shared Streets and Alleyways – White Paper
    City of Ashland, Ashland Transportation System Plan Shared Streets and Alleyways – White Paper To: Jim Olson, City of Ashland Cc: Project Management Team From: Adrian Witte and Drew Meisel, Alta Planning + Design Date: February 2, 2011 Re: Task 7.1.O White Paper: “Shared Streets and Alleyways” - DRAFT Direction to the Planning Commission and Transportation Commission Five sets of white papers are being produced to present information on tools, opportunities, and potential strategies that could help Ashland become a nationwide leader as a green transportation community. Each white paper will present general information regarding a topic and then provide ideas on where and how that tool, strategy, and/or policy could be used within Ashland. You will have the opportunity to review the content of each white paper and share your thoughts, concerns, questions, and ideas in a joint Planning Commission/Transportation Commission meeting. Based on discussions at the meeting, the material in the white paper will be: 1) Revised and incorporated into the alternatives analysis for the draft TSP; or 2) Eliminated from consideration and excluded from the alternatives analysis. The overall intent of the white paper series is to explore opportunities and discuss the many possibilities for Ashland. Shared Streets Introduction Shared Streets aim to provide a better balance of the needs of all road users to improve safety, comfort, and livability. They are similar to European concepts such as the Dutch based ‘Woonerf’ and the United Kingdom’s ‘Home Zone’, with some distinct differences. This balance is accomplished through integration rather than segregation of users. By eschewing many of the traditional roadway treatments such as curbs, signs, and pavement markings, the distinction between modes is blurred.

  • Indiana Drivers Manual: Ch. 7
    CHAPTER 7 | Safe Vehicle Operation CHAPTER SEVEN | SAFE VEHICLE OPERATION Even the most experienced drivers can be distracted while driving. A defensive driver looks out for the actions of other drivers and anticipates potential problems. LANE MARKINGS Lane markings separate traffic and alert drivers when it is permissible to pass other vehicles. Yellow Lane Markings Yellow lane markings separate multiple lanes of traffic going in opposite directions. You may cross a broken yellow line to pass another vehicle when it is safe, but you should not cross a solid yellow line except to turn. Two-lane road with a solid yellow line Two-lane road with a broken Four-lane road with a solid yellow line yellow line White Lane Markings White lane markings separate multiple lanes of traffic going in the same direction. Most roads with more than two lanes have broken white lines to separate the lanes. You may cross a broken white line when it is safe to change lanes, but you should not cross a solid white line. Three lanes of traffic with broken white lines CHANGING LANES AND PASSING OTHER VEHICLES Change only one lane at a time. When changing lanes to prepare for a turn, you must signal your intention to do so at least 200 feet prior to changing lanes or turning. Your signal distance must be at least 300 feet before the turn if you are operating a vehicle in a speed zone of at least 50 miles per hour. Do not weave in and out of lanes, which will greatly increase your risk of an accident.

  • I-82 Valley Mall Boulevard Full-Diamond Interchange Was Originally Built in 1964
    PRACTICAL DESIGN AT WORK — DESIGN I-82 – Valley Mall Boulevard – construct roundabout Background Agriculture and tourism, key industries in the Yakima Valley, increase population and drive congestion along the Interstate 82 corridor. Valley Mall Boulevard, located south of Yakima in Union Gap, connects retail and commercial development to the interstate system and provides a direct route to the Yakima Air Terminal. In 2011, the Washington State Department of Transportation improved the Valley Mall Boulevard connection to the I-82 corridor by constructing three roundabouts; a modern traffic trend, somewhat new to the northwest. Practical design solution The I-82 Valley Mall Boulevard full-diamond interchange was originally built in 1964. Minor improvements including widening ramps were complete in 1997. With three stoplights at the ramp terminal, the interchange configuration and traffic flow was not keeping up with the demands of growing retail and commercial development. Congestion at peak travel times resulted in long delays and an increased risk of collisions as traffic backed up onto the freeway. Engineers worried about safety as T-bone and rear-end collisions increased. Typical design options for the congestion and safety issues would entail costly ramps and bridges. The final design chosen embodied modern day practical design concepts. The project used three roundabouts to connect the on-ramps and off-ramps to Valley Mall the city of Union Gap, local businesses The diamond interchange had Boulevard and the adjacent local street, and the public through design and exceeded its service life and was at to improve traffic flow, reduce the risk construction. WSDOT attended city capacity.
