    Maricopa County Department of Transportation MAJOR STREETS AND ROUTES PLAN Policy Document and Street Classification Atlas Adopted April 18, 2001 Revised September 2004 Revised June 2011 Preface to 2011 Revision This version of the Major Streets and Routes Plan (MSRP) revises the original plan and the 2004 revisions. Looking ahead to pending updates to the classification systems of towns and cities in Maricopa County, the original MSRP stipulated a periodic review and modification of the street functional classification portion of the plan. This revision incorporates the following changes: (1) as anticipated, many of the communities in the County have updated either their general or transportation plans in the time since the adoption of the first MSRP; (2) a new roadway classification, the Arizona Parkway, has been added to the Maricopa County street classification system and the expressway classification has been removed; and (3) a series of regional framework studies have been conducted by the Maricopa Association of Governments to establish comprehensive roadway networks in parts of the West Valley.

  • Chapter 7: Transportation Mode Choice, Safety & Connections
    Chapter 7: Transportation Mode Choice, Safety & Connections Comprehensive Plan 2040 7-2 TRANSPORTATION City of Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan 2040 INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Transportation Chapter is to guide development, maintenance, and improvement of the community’s transportation network. This Chapter incorporates and addresses the City’s future transportation needs based on the planned future land uses, development areas, housing, parks and trail systems. The City’s transportation network is comprised of several systems including roadways, transit services, trails, railroads and aviation that all work together to move people and goods throughout, and within, the City. This Chapter identifies the existing and proposed transportation system, examines potential deficiencies, and sets investment priorities. The following Chapter plans for an integrated transportation system that addresses each of the following topics in separate sections: • Roadway System 7-1 • Transit Facilities • Bikway & Trail System • Freight & Rail • Aviation The last section of this Chapter provides a summary and implementation section which addresses each of the components of the system, if any additional action within this planning period is expected. The Implementation Plan sets the groundwork for investment and improvements to the transportation network consistent with the goals, analyses, and conclusions of this Plan. As discussed in preceding Chapters of this Comprehensive Plan, the Transportation Chapter is intended to be dynamic and responsive to the City’s planned land uses and development patterns. As the City’s conditions change and improvements occur, this Chapter should be reviewed for consistency with the Plan to ensure that the transportation systems support the City’s ultimate vision for the community through this planning period.

  • Construction Update
    Construction Update West Rutland Paving/Intersection Project [Business Route 4 and VT 4A] DATE: Thursday, 6/4/20 PROJECT TYPE: Roadway LOCATION: This project begins at the US-4 and BUS-4 intersection in West Rutland and heads east along BUS-4 to the Class 1 Town Highway limit in front of the Rutland Town Clerk's Office (MM 0.997). The total project length is 3.094 miles. The intersection project is located in the town of West Rutland at the intersection of Business Route 4 and Vermont Route 4A (near the Price Chopper Plaza). SCOPE OF WORK: Construction activities include coarse milling (grinding) of the roadway, paving with a leveling and wearing (final) course, intersection reconfiguration (removal of the jughandle), traffic signal improvements, reconstruction of an at-grade railroad crossing, guardrail, pavement markings, signs, drainage rehabilitation and other highway related items. As part of Governor Scott’s “Work Smart, Stay Safe” order, all construction crews are currently subject to safety restrictions and precautions. ANTICIPATED CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES, WEEK of 6/8: Work at the signalized intersection of Route 4 and Route 4A will continue next week. A trench crossing at the intersection with associated signal work is tentatively scheduled for next week. If this work occurs, it will take approximately three days to complete, and motorists can expect lane closures and delays at the intersection. Work at the railroad crossing is almost complete. On Monday and Tuesday next week crews will be milling and paving the approaches at the railroad crossing. Traffic diversions will be in place. Minor track work will occur next week as well.

  • Guide Signs—Conventional Roads
    2011 Edition - Revision 2 Page 143 CHAPTER 2D. GUIDE SIGNS—CONVENTIONAL ROADS Section 2D.01 Scope of Conventional Road Guide Sign Standards Standard: 01 The provisions of this Chapter shall apply to any road or street other than low-volume roads (as defined in Section 5A.01), expressways, and freeways. Section 2D.02 Application Support: 01 Guide signs are essential to direct road users along streets and highways, to inform them of intersecting routes, to direct them to cities, towns, villages, or other important destinations, to identify nearby rivers and streams, parks, forests, and historical sites, and generally to give such information as will help them along their way in the most simple, direct manner possible. 02 Chapter 2A addresses placement, location, and other general criteria for signs. Section 2D.03 Color, Retroreflection, and Illumination Support: 01 Requirements for illumination, retroreflection, and color are stated under the specific headings for individual guide signs or groups of signs. General provisions are given in Sections 2A.07, 2A.08, and 2A.10. Standard: 02 Except where otherwise provided in this Manual for individual signs or groups of signs, guide signs on streets and highways shall have a white message and border on a green background. All messages, borders, and legends shall be retroreflective and all backgrounds shall be retroreflective or illuminated. Support: 03 Color coding is sometimes used to help road users distinguish between multiple potentially confusing destinations. Examples of valuable uses of color coding include guide signs for roadways approaching or inside an airport property with multiple terminals serving multiple airlines, and community wayfinding guide signs for various traffic generator destinations within a community or area.

  • Roundabout Solutions for Complex Traffic Environments
    ROUNDABOUT SOLUTIONS FOR COMPLEX TRAFFIC ENVIRONMENTS Author/Presenter’s Name: Mike Bittner Mailing Address: 728 East Beaton Drive, West Fargo, ND 58078 Telephone Number: 701 271 4879 E-Mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Roundabouts have many distinct features the engineering community can employ to solve complex or unique traffic scenarios. This paper illustrates how to capitalize on many of the features through three real- world project examples. In the first example, a roundabout is used to combine two closely spaced skewed intersections into one five legged intersection. This example is located in the heart of a city exploding with population and traffic growth. Under existing conditions, the two closely spaced intersections experience spillback across one another resulting in poor intersection operations and frequent conflicts. This is further exacerbated by the 7 uncontrolled driveways within 215 feet of the major intersection. The proposed five-legged roundabout mitigates the negative effect of the skewed intersections, consolidates the two closely spaced intersections and provides access management for the uncontrolled driveways. Not only does this improvement provide an anticipated reduction in crash potential and improved intersection operations, the alternative also provides significant aesthetic benefits, leading to a revitalized city center. In the second example, roundabouts are employed upstream of a central intersection that is oversaturated and experiencing safety issues specific to permitted left-turn movements. The proposed bowtie intersection configuration converts left-turn movements at the central intersection to U-turn maneuvers at the upstream roundabouts. Eliminating left-turn maneuvers at the central intersection resolves safety issues corresponding to the movement. Eliminating left-turn maneuvers also prioritizes high volume through movements at the central intersection, reducing motorist delays and queues that block upstream intersections and business driveways.
