Corridor Signal Coordination Study Delaware Route 4N

The North (SR 4N) Corridor Signal Coordination Study is a joint effort between DelDOT and the University of Delaware. This is the fifth project performed in this format, known as the Delaware Signal Timing Enhancement Partnership (DSTEP).

Basis for Selection

This section of SR 4N was identified in coordination with WILMAPCO. SR 4N is a congested corridor in the WILMAPCO Congestion Management System Summary.

Corridor Description

The segment of SR 4N analyzed in this study includes a total of 29 signalized intersections. The entire corridor is approximately 5.78 miles, with speeds of 30-50 mph. The corridor was broken up into five groups in order to best coordinate the signals.

Project Scope

The project team collected data, made observations, performed traffic engineering analysis, and discussed signal operations strategies with the DelDOT TMC. In some cases, further studies and future work have been recommended at intersections. Otherwise, the emphasis of work has been the identification of signal timing enhancements such as phasing, coordination/offsets, splits/green times, cycle lengths, and time of day plans.

Group 1 (intersections 1-6) Group 2 (intersections 7-11) Group 3 (intersections 12 & 13) Group 4 (intersection 14) Maryland Master (intersections 15-29)

Intersection #5 – NB/SB Lead-Lag Left-Turn Phasing at Telegraph Rd Telegraph Rd serves as a cut through to SR 7 and there is a high volume of vehicles traveling NB and turning left. Further analysis of the intersection is needed to determine if a lead-lag left turn phase would decrease the LOS of the intersection. Benefit: Increased effectiveness of left turn movements.

Intersection #23 – Pedestrian Facilities at DuPont Rd During an inspection of the intersection, it was found that some of the crosswalks were missing in part and the pedestrian signal heads need to be replaced. Benefit: Increased safety for pedestrians and improved pedestrian facilities.

Intersection #25 – Pedestrian Facilities at Brookside/Mill Rd During an inspection of the intersection, it was found that some of the crosswalks were missing in part and the pedestrian signal heads need to be replaced. Benefit: Increased safety for pedestrians and improved pedestrian facilities.

Corridor Signal Coordination Study Delaware Route 4 North

Open Items:

1. Intersections 14-29 are currently on Maryland Master and need to be moved over to ACTRA groups.

Complaints:

1. The speed limit at SR 4/7 Stanton is currently 50 mph but the surrounding area is a neighborhood. Residents complained that the speed was too high.

Observations:

1. Telegraph Rd (#5) – Vehicles travelling EB on SR 4/7 take a right into the gas station and U-turn around the median to then go straight, avoiding turning left onto Telegraph Rd from SR 4/7. 2. Latimer/Larch (#14) – Signal heads are very small and were difficult to see. Observed vehicles running red lights. See pictures at the end of the document. SB Latimer had high green times even if vehicles weren’t present. Observed 25 seconds of green time with no vehicles or pedestrians. 3. DuPont Rd (#23) – SB DuPont calls even if no vehicles are present. The all red time is longer than usual. The ped head for NB DuPont is missing and the crosswalk is missing in parts. 4. Mill Rd/Brookside (#25) – Brookside Rd (NE corner) ped head is missing. Brookside Rd also calls even if no vehicles are present.

Recommendations:

1. Recommended to change current split intersections (6-phase) to 8-phase intersections. 2. Replace pedestrian heads at DuPont Rd and Brookside Rd. 3. Repaint crosswalks at SR 4 and DuPont Rd. 4. Further study of Telegraph Rd is recommended to identify if lead-lag left turn phasing would work.

Corridor Signal Coordination Study Delaware Route 2

The Delaware Route 2/Kirkwood Highway (SR 2) Corridor Signal Coordination Study is a joint effort between DelDOT and the University of Delaware. This is the sixth project performed in this format, known as the Delaware Signal Timing Enhancement Partnership (DSTEP).

Basis for Selection

This section of SR 2 was identified in coordination with WILMAPCO. SR 2 is a congested corridor in the 2013 WILMAPCO Congestion Management System Summary.

Corridor Description

The segment of SR 2 analyzed in this study includes a total of 19 signalized intersections. The entire corridor is approximately 6.38 miles, with speeds of 35-45 mph. The corridor was broken up into five groups in order to best coordinate the signals.

Project Scope

The project team collected data, made observations, performed traffic engineering analysis, and discussed signal operations strategies with the DelDOT TMC. In some cases, further studies and future work have been recommended at intersections. Otherwise, the emphasis of work has been the identification of signal timing enhancements such as phasing, coordination/offsets, splits/green times, cycle lengths, and time of day plans.

- AM After: TBD - PM After: TBD

Intersection #4 – NB/SB Lead-Lag Left-Turn Phasing at Red Mill Rd The NB left turn lane is currently too short and allows through traffic to regularly backup and block access to the left-turn lane. This results in underutilization of the leading NB left-turn phase. It is recommended that the NB/SB left turns be moved from the lead movement to the lag movement to allow the queue for through vehicles to clear, allowing access to the left-turn lane. Benefit: Increased effectiveness of NB left turn movement.

Intersection #4 – Red Mill Rd Further study of SR 2 and Red Mill Rd is recommended. Potential restriping or reconstruction is needed to improve conditions at this intersection. Benefit: Decreased LOS and increased green band time.

Intersection #5 – Brewster Dr During a drive-through inspection, it was found that there was a sign down in the median at Brewster Dr. We notified DelDOT of the downed sign and recommend that the sign be removed and replaced. As of September 25, the sign has been removed and replaced.

Intersection #6/7 – Harmony/Green Valley During a drive-through inspection, it was found that there was a turn lane sign down on the north side of the intersection of SR 2 and Green Valley. The sign belongs at the beginning of the WB left turn lane at the intersection of SR 2 and Harmony Rd. We notified DelDOT of the downs sign and recommend that the sign be removed and replaced. As of September 25, maintenance was aware of the problem and the sign has been removed but not replaced.

Corridor Signal Coordination Study Delaware Route 2

Intersection #7 – Pedestrian Facilities at Green Valley – NW Corner During an inspection of the corridor, we found that trees are blocking the pedestrian signal head. We notified DelDOT of the situation and recommend that the trees be cut back to ensure that the pedestrian signal is visible. Benefit: Increased safety for pedestrians and improved pedestrian facilities.

Intersection #8 – Split Intersection at Meadowood Current split phased intersections were examined to determine if it would be feasible to move to 8- phases. We recommend the intersection of SR 2 & Meadowood remain a split phased intersection due to visibility and grade issues on the side street approaches. This is a potential location to use Max 1 timers.

Intersection #9 – Exclusive Ped Phase at Pike Creek/Henderson We recommend that the exclusive pedestrian phase be taken away at SR 2 and Pike Creek. Complete pedestrian counts for AM and PM peaks can be found in the Delaware Route 2 Corridor Signal Coordination Study. We found that this intersection was not a heavy pedestrian traffic location, and recommend that the pedestrian signal turn on with the SB traffic and a yield to pedestrians sign be installed for the SB right turns. This is a potential location to use Max 1 timers. Benefit: Increased efficiency at the intersection due to low pedestrian volumes.

Intersection #10 – Pedestrian Facilities at Delaware Park – SE Corner During an inspection of the corridor, we found that overgrown tree branches are blocking the pedestrian signal head and pedestrian visibility of oncoming traffic is also obstructed. We notified DelDOT of the situation and recommend that the trees be cut back to ensure safe pedestrian visibility. Benefit: Increased safety for pedestrians and improved pedestrian facilities.

Intersection #11 – Milltown Rd Due to a complaint, the intersection of SR 2 and Milltown Rd was studied to determine driver’s behaviors. Several factors contribute to the safety concerns at this intersection. First, EB left turn drivers would travel straight through the intersection to u-turn instead of turning left at the light. The u-turn lane is in close proximity to the intersection and has low sight distance due to a hill. Second, there is a gas station at the NW corner that has an entrance close to the intersection. It is illegal to turn left into the gas station from Milltown Rd, so vehicles traveling EB, WB, and NB must all use the entrance on Kirkwood Highway. This causes vehicles to cut across lanes to enter the gas station. Due to the geometry of the SB right turn, vehicles turn onto Kirkwood Highway at a higher speed. They then have to yield to vehicles trying to turn into the gas station. We recommend that an additional sign be placed on the SB right turn yield sign that states yield to u-turns/turning traffic to slow the SB right turn lane down and reduce the potential crash. We also recommend that this intersection be looked at for a future restriping project. Benefit: Increased safety.

4

Corridor Signal Coordination Study Delaware Route 2

Intersection #19 – Prices Corner We recommend that the intersection of Kirkwood Highway and Prices Corner be changed to full cycles instead of half cycles. This will allow coordination between Newport Gap Pike, Albertson, and Prices Corner. This will also address the public’s complaints about the increased speed between Albertson and Prices Corner from drivers trying to make it through the intersection before the signal changes to red. Benefit: Increased coordination between intersections.

Corridor Signal Coordination Study Delaware Route 2

Open Items:

1. Construction west of Duncan Rd (between Farrand and Duncan) 2. Implement proposed timings, TOD plans, and offsets

Complaints:

1. Intersection #2: SR 2 and Possom Park/SR 72 – Traveling NB L at 4 am when there is little traffic on Kirkwood. He can see a red signal for peds but when he gets to the loop, the signal changes to green for peds causing him to wait longer. References ped system in Honolulu, HI – ped signals only light up if a ped pushes the button. 2. Intersection #4: SR 2 and Polly Drummond/Red Mill Rd: Requested to check light cycle. 3. Intersection #9: SR 2 and Pike Creek Rd – NB L onto Kirkwood Highway needs more than 12 seconds at 5:30 am. 4. Intersection #11: SR 2 and Milltown Rd – EB L onto Milltown Rd is a 2 minute wait time. Requesting second green or to tighten up the waiting time. Drivers move straight through the intersection and u-turn to turn onto Milltown. Also look at illegal turns into 7-11. 5. Intersection #19: Prices Corner – ½ cycle at Prices Corner causes drivers to race through Newport Gap Pike and Albertson to make it through the ½ cycle.

Observations:

1. Milltown Rd (#11) a. SB rights move very quickly, recommend adding yield to u-turns/turning traffic sign b. 7-11 cannot be access from Milltown Rd and unsafe from Kirkwood (see drawings) c. Cars travel on Kirkwood through the light and u-turn very close to intersection and then move from right turn over painted islands (see drawings). U-turn lane is very short and has bad sight distance from the hill. 2. WB Meadowood gas station is an unsafe turn from Kirkwood like 7-11 at Milltown Rd. 3. Red Mill Rd NB left turn lane is very short. See drawings included. 4. Del Park ped signal across NB does not turn on automatically with EB/WB green.

Corridor Signal Coordination Study Delaware Route 2

Recommendations:

1. Further study (potential restriping or reconstruction) of SR 2 and Red Mill Rd recommended. 2. Change NB/SB left turns to lag at Red Mill Rd. 3. Remove exclusive pedestrian phase at SR 2 and Pike Creek/Henderson. 4. Future study on changing split phase intersections to 8-phase intersections recommended. 5. Determine intersections for possible Max 1 timer locations. 6. Recommended to keep Meadowood (#8) as 6-phase intersection due to visibility and grade for shared lane. Potential location for Max 1 timers. 7. Remove old sign and replace turn lane sign down at Green Valley (sign should be at beginning of Harmony Rd left turn lane traveling westbound). 8. Cut back trees on NW corner at Green Valley to make pedestrian signal visible. 9. Remove sign down in median at the intersection of Brewster Dr. 10. Add yield to u-turns/turning traffic sign on the SB side Milltown Rd. 11. Potential restriping at Milltown Rd to increase the safety of turning vehicles into 7-11. 12. Cut back trees on SE corner at Delaware Park to make pedestrian signal visible. 13. Change Prices Corner (intersection 19) to full cycles and move into Newport Gap and Albertson group.

Notes: This picture above was taken during the AM peak. The left turn signal is green even though the through traffic is blocking vehicles from turning left. The SB turn lane into 7-11 can also be seen and observed how short the deceleration lane is.

Milltown Traffic Drawings

Indicates illegal traffic turning movements

Notes: EB L (or 7-11 traffic) vehicles tend to not wait for the left turn signal and instead move straight through the intersection to u-turn. 7-11 traffic tends to u-turn into the right lane but then cut straight through the intersection, over island markings, into 7-11. Vehicles cannot get into 7-11 from Milltown Rd.
