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
