The alternative design concept is meant to achieve timelyTo ensure and successful cost-effective corridor manner. preservation efforts, new governance of the Commonwealth Transportation Board states that before major expansions and new traffic signals are considered on the state’s arterial network, alternative designs will be considered. The design concept is in line with several goals of Fauquier County’s New Baltimore Service District Plan, which strives to maintain the current four-lane highway while improving safety and capacity along the corridor. The New Baltimore Plan also seeks to preserve historic character and design a “sense of place” for the New Baltimore commercial area. Numerous studies over the past 10 years have ruled out other options to accomplish the goals above, including widening Route 29 to six lanes; converting Dumfries Road and Vint Hill Road to grade-separated interchanges; adding traffic signals; and building roundabouts and other designs. Project Description The hilly nature of Route 29 at Route 215 limits sight distance of vehicles stopped ahead, resulting inA SMARTa significant SCALE history candidate of northbound project to shaverear-end down collisions. the Route 29 grade did not score well enough on the safety measures or congestion mitigation to be funded. Instead, a “Michigan left” concept converts the left-turn movements to right turns paired with downstream U-turns. The current signal location would be eliminated and replaced with signals at the two U-turn locations, which haveAdditional better information visibility and is roadwayavailable geometry. on the county website at www.fauquiercounty.gov/government/ departments-a-g/community-development..
