Broad Street at James Road - Intersection Improvement
Intersection – Broad St at
James Rd
DESCRIPTION
AND BENEFITS:
The intersection of SR 16 (E Broad) at CR 177
(N James) suffers from elevated crash rates due to the high number of left and
right turns from James Road and conflicts with access to business driveways.
The purpose of this project is to reduce crashes, improve traffic flow
efficiency, and improve pedestrian access and safety at this location.
Proposed Improvements
Construct dual southbound left-run lanes and provide protected-only southbound
left-turn phasing.
Construct exclusive right-turn lanes on northbound and southbound intersection
approaches.
Reconstruct existing signal and install signal back plates.
Modify signal timings to reduce backups and stops.
Install advanced street name signs along the southbound approach.
Install
medians along James Road.
