Corridor Analysis of Interstate 85: Greenville and Spartanburg Counties CORRIDOR AN A LYSIS OF INTERST A TE 85: GREENVILLE A ND SP A RT A NBUR G COUNTIES Travel demand is the collective desire by a wide array of motorists to drive on a highway. High travel demand in concentrated time periods such as during the morning commute results in a “rush hour” (peak hours). When the demand is close to or exceeds the capacity of the roadway, congestion results. Travel demand management (TDM) is a deliberate attempt to influence the number of vehicles attempting to use the highway at a particular time. This chapter explores a number of strategies that have the potential to decrease travel demand and thereby decrease congestion, particularly in the peak hours. Each strategy is identified with the label “TDM” followed by a number in order to track these strategies throughout this report. 7.1 TRAVEL INFORMATION SERVICES (TDM1 AND TDM2) Dynamic Message Signs (TDM1) Roadway information can be provided through on road signing, advising motorist of special conditions in the immediate vicinity or well in advance of an actual event. This information is displayed using CH A PTER 7: TR A VEL DEM A ND MA N ag EMENT Variable Message Signs (VMS) or Dynamic Message Signs (DMS). VMS signs are portable, shoulder mounted signs and DMS signs are permanent, structures mounted over the roadway. Generally VMS signs warn of special conditions such as lane closures due to construction or other incidents. DMS signs may be used for incidents, but also may be used to convey travel times to significant interchanges along the route. The travel times displayed take into account the actual prevailing speed of traffic and are adjusted to account for congestion along the route. The signs may also be used to provide information such as Amber Alerts to advise of child abductions in the area. In the study area there are currently five VMS signs and three DMS signs. Additional DMS signs would be beneficial to the public and to incident responders advising of incidents ahead that require lane closures or detours. It is recommended that five new DMS signs be considered at the following locations in order of priority: • I-85 NB between I-385 and Pelham Road (locate approximately 4,000 feet north of the Roper Mountain Road) • I-85 SB between Woodruff Road and Laurens Road (locate approximately 1,000 feet south of the Salters Road) Prepared by Civil Engineering Consulting Services, Inc. for the South Carolina Department of Transportation 46 CORRIDOR AN A LYSIS OF INTERST A TE 85: GREENVILLE A ND SP A RT A NBUR G COUNTIES • I-85 NB between SC 101 and SC 290 (locate approximately 1,000 feet north of the Dantzler Major Employers Road overpass) One important aspect of the outreach process was identification and involvement of the major employers in the study area. Some of these were included in the stakeholder group and one was on both the • I-85 SB between SC 290 and SC 101 (erect on the same structure as the sign described stakeholder group and the steering committee.

A list of freight moving companies in the area was compiled using information from the South Carolina Land use and development planning Trucking Association and the major employers in the area. A survey questionnaire was developed activities are primarily the responsibility and over 100 surveys were sent to the identified companies.

    Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) 2040 4.1 Roads and Highways Element The largest part of the transportation system is a roadway network of more than 7,000 lane miles and is comprised of NCDOT maintained roads, locally maintained roads, and private roads. In late 2013 the metropolitan area boundary for the High Point MPO increased in size to include the remaining portion of Davidson County not already included in an MPO. This substantially expanded the roadway network for the MPO. Radial movements that are strongest in the MPO are: • Towards Greensboro and Jamestown to the northeast, • Towards Winston-Salem from High Point to the northwest via Interstate 74, • Towards the Piedmont Triad International Airport to the north via NC 68, • Towards Lexington from High Point to the southwest via Interstate 85 and US 29/70, and • Towards Winston-Salem from Lexington via US 52. • There is some radial demand between High Point, Thomasville, Archdale, Trinity, and Wallburg. Heavily traveled routes include: • Eastchester Drive (NC 68), towards Piedmont Triad International Airport • Westchester Drive and National Highway (NC 68), towards Thomasville • NC 109 • Main Street in High Point, • Main Street in Archdale, • US 311 Bypass, • Interstate 85, • US 29-70, • Wendover Avenue, • Main Street and NC 8 in and around Lexington, • High Point - Greensboro Road, and 4.1 Roads and Highways Element • Surrett Drive.

  • Roadside Flowers by Josh Shaffer Photography by Joey and Jessica Seawell
    Roadside Flowers By Josh Shaffer Photography by Joey and Jessica Seawell The Department of Transportation’s wildflower program brings back-road scenery to North Carolina’s busiest highways. Little of beauty shows up on the side of a highway. It’s where cars break down. It’s where hitchhikers stand. It’s where litterbugs toss drink cans and cigarette butts. There’s nothing much to see but a gas station sign on a pole, a shredded tire from a tractor- Multicolored wildflowers catch the eyes of motorists traveling down U.S. Highways trailer, or the remains of an 52 near Rural Hall unlucky deer. Nobody fusses much about these places, places we pass in a hurry on the way to somewhere prettier. But for 27 years, North Carolina has persisted with the stubborn idea that those humdrum strips of road should offer some reward beyond six lanes and reflective highway markers. A driver crossing the state on Interstate 40 should see more than asphalt and weeds between Wilmington and Asheville. The hot, flat ribbons linking Raleigh and Charlotte ought to show off scenery more often found in meadows — the catchflies, the toadflax, the oxeye daisies. As a driver, the sudden flash of red from an acre of corn poppies ought to make you pull off on the roadside, stop the car, step over the bits of gravel and broken glass, and walk knee-deep into the blooms. Even in this budget-slashing era, the North Carolina Department of Transportation still treats 1,500 acres of lowly roadside as the state’s flower garden.

That phrase has often been used to describe the scope of the Interstate Highway Program, made possible by Congress with the passage of the 11Federal Highway Act of 1956tt.
