Page 3 of 4 <br />Local Road connecting to other Local Roads <br />Most roadways forming the sample intersections reviewed in this memorandum are classified as local <br />streets. This scenario considers neighborhood locations where the minor local roadway intersects with <br />another local road that then itself intersects with another local road. These would be considered <br />locations internal to neighborhoods that only carry local residential traffic. <br /> <br />Recommendations <br />Based upon a review of the sample study intersections and roadway characteristics, and consideration of traffic <br />volumes where appropriate, the following recommendations were made. Examples of locations where these <br />standards are met are provided for clarity. <br /> <br />Major Collector connecting to Minor Arterial and Other Principal Arterial – STOP CONTROL <br />Walnut Street in the Westside area of the City is classified as a major collector by the State. Walnut Street <br />collects traffic from the surrounding residential areas before connecting to W Sample Street (classified as Other <br />Principal Arterial) to its south and W Western Ave (classified as Minor Arterial) to its north. The intersection of <br />Walnut Street & Poland Street in the area is currently uncontrolled. Poland Street is a local roadway providing <br />access to single-family dwelling units. Given the heavy through traffic along Walnut Street, its functional <br />classification as a major collector, and its connections to important arterials, the intersection of Poland Street <br />& Walnut Street may be considered as an ideal site for STOP control application. <br /> <br />Local Road connecting to Minor Arterial and Other Principal Arterial – STOP CONTROL <br />Harris Street is a north-south roadway in the Westside area of the City and runs parallel to Walnut Street. The <br />roadway connects W Sample Street and W Western Ave, which as mentioned previously, are important arterial <br />corridors in the area. However, unlike Walnut Street which is classified as a major collector, Harris Street is a <br />local roadway. Harris Street connects to several east-west local roadways, such as Fisher Street and Poland <br />Street, which are primarily residential streets providing access to single-family dwelling units, and therefore <br />serves as a collector street within the neighborhood. As such, traffic utilizing Fisher Street and Poland Street to <br />enter their intersection with Harris Street would experience significantly higher through traffic volumes. <br />Therefore, these intersections may also serve as potential sites for STOP control application. <br /> <br />Local Road connecting to Major Collector – UNCONTROLLED <br />This category considers an intersection of two local roadways, where at least one of these in-turn connect to <br />roadways classified as an arterial (major or minor). In such instances, the major street at the intersection <br />typically carries significantly higher through traffic volumes. For example, Jade Crossing Drive is a local road <br />which ties into Brick Road (classified as major collector) to the north. The intersections along Jade Crossing Drive <br />are all currently uncontrolled locations. All the roadways feeding into Jade Crossing Drive, such as Ashard Road <br />and Cherry Pointe Drive are local residential roadways, serving between nine (9) and thirty single-family dwelling <br />units. Jade Crossing Drive is not anticipated to carry heavy through traffic; therefore, these examples serve as <br />locations where an UNCONTROLLED intersection is appropriate. <br />An additional caveat is that Brick Road is approximately 200 feet north of Ashard Drive and 500 feet north of <br />Cherry Pointe Drive. A detailed safety assessment may be required at such locations to determine the <br />applicability of STOP control on the side-streets due to turning vehicles from the minor roads and the close <br />proximity to the major roadway, should sight distance or queuing become a concern. <br /> <br />Local Road connecting to other Local Roads – UNCONTROLLED <br />An additional example from the Jade Crossing neighborhood would be where a local road such as Onyx Way <br />intersects with Cherry Pointe Drive, which are both classified as local roads, before connecting to Jade Crossing
