Introduction
I-95 Access Study New Access to I-95 between Route 3 and the Rappahannock River 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The George Washington Regional Commission (GWRC) and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) are evaluating the possibility of constructing a new access point or interchange with I-95 in the City of Fredericksburg between the Rappahannock River and VA 3 (Route 3). A new toll parkway would intersect with I-95 near the existing rest area and proceed west and tie into Route 3 near Gordon Road (Route 627). Located midway between Washington, D.C. and Richmond, the George Washington Region of Virginia is the scene of intensive growth extending back several decades, as it has become a bedroom community to Washington, D.C. and, to a lesser extent Richmond. Since 1960, the regional population has more than quintupled, from 60,000 residents to nearly 325,000 residents. This hyper growth has manifested itself in rapid suburbanization and has unduly strained the surface transportation system of the Region, taxing the capacity of roadway arterials and collectors alike. None of these roadways has been impacted as much as I-95, a national lifeline and a vital Regional arterial. Interstate 95 traverses the George Washington Region for about forty-seven miles, through the Counties of Stafford, Spotsylvania and Caroline, as well as the City of Fredericksburg. At various places along its course through the Region, I-95 fails from too much traffic and too little capacity. This failure adversely affects the nation as a whole, but it directly threatens the economic well-being and quality of life of residents in the Region. -
Toll Roads in the United States: History and Current Policy
TOLL FACILITIES IN THE UNITED STATES Bridges - Roads - Tunnels - Ferries August 2009 Publication No: FHWA-PL-09-00021 Internet: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/tollpage.htm Toll Roads in the United States: History and Current Policy History The early settlers who came to America found a land of dense wilderness, interlaced with creeks, rivers, and streams. Within this wilderness was an extensive network of trails, many of which were created by the migration of the buffalo and used by the Native American Indians as hunting and trading routes. These primitive trails were at first crooked and narrow. Over time, the trails were widened, straightened and improved by settlers for use by horse and wagons. These became some of the first roads in the new land. After the American Revolution, the National Government began to realize the importance of westward expansion and trade in the development of the new Nation. As a result, an era of road building began. This period was marked by the development of turnpike companies, our earliest toll roads in the United States. In 1792, the first turnpike was chartered and became known as the Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike in Pennsylvania. It was the first road in America covered with a layer of crushed stone. The boom in turnpike construction began, resulting in the incorporation of more than 50 turnpike companies in Connecticut, 67 in New York, and others in Massachusetts and around the country. A notable turnpike, the Boston-Newburyport Turnpike, was 32 miles long and cost approximately $12,500 per mile to construct. As the Nation grew, so did the need for improved roads. -

Congestion Relief Toll Tunnels
Policy Study No. 164 July 1993 CONGESTION RELIEF TOLL TUNNELS by Robert W. Poole, Jr. and Yuzo Sugimoto EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Changing urban land-use patterns have reduced the importance of traditional downtowns as the origin and destination of numerous vehicular trips. Much traffic on downtown-area freeways seeks merely to get past downtown, thereby worsening the level of congestion for those seeking access to downtown. A number of European cities have begun to develop a new type of transportation facility: congestion-relief toll tunnels in downtown areas. These projects appear to be economically feasible largely or entirely from premium-price tolls paid by users. Hence, they are being developed by private consortia, operating under long-term franchises from government. Other keys to the feasibility of such projects are peak/off-peak pricing structures (congestion pricing), nonstop electronic toll collection, and restriction of use to auto-size vehicles only (to reduce tunnel dimensions and therefore capital investment). Preliminary analysis indicates that congestion-relief bypass tunnels for downtown Los Angeles and San Francisco would be economically feasible as private business ventures, if developed along European lines. Similar approaches might be applied to other controversial freeway projects in both cities, and to restructuring Boston's huge and controversial Central Artery/Tunnel project. Congress has already authorized public-private partnerships of this type, permitting private capital and private owner/operation to be used, both for new projects and to rebuild existing highway, bridge, and tunnel facilities. Six states and Puerto Rico have enacted private-tollway legislation under which such projects could be developed and operated. -

Johnson County Whiteland Road Reconstruction
TOWN OF BARGERSVILLE NEWSLETTER VOLUME 9 AUGUST 2020 HAWK Signal at Harriman Avenue and Old Plank Road Highlights of HAWK Signal: • Traffic is only stopped as needed • Flashes red when traffic is required to stop and yield to pedestrians • Activated through push buttons, that allow crossing one leg at a time On Old Plank Looking West HAWK Signal Overview As part of the pedestrian improvements project along Old Plank Road the Town has installed a HAWK signal at the intersection of Old Plank Road/Harriman Avenue/Short Street. HAWK is an acronym and stands for High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk, this signal is solely for pedestrians to be able to cross busy intersections safely. This is not a typical traffic signal, traffic flows as normal until one of the push buttons at the intersection is activated which then stops traffic as needed, otherwise the signal stays dark. Once one of the push buttons is activated the timing allows for pedestrians to cross one leg of the intersection at a time, then the push buttons must be reactivated to continue crossing the other legs. Please see the next page for a overview of the intersection.
