13. Access Management Alternatives
Median Modifications
West corridor: new median cuts to be allowed to provide access to planned development
East corridor: modify or close existing median cuts to better meet FDOT spacing standards, improving safety and improve traffic flow on SR 44
S.R. 44 Corridor Management Plan

14. Ex: New median cut to provide access to planned development
Ex: Modify / close existing median cuts to better meet FDOT spacing standards

15. Access Management Alternatives
Cross-Access / Frontage Roads
Develop a series of cross access connections on development fronting SR 44 to improve access between developments and traffic signals
Paige Avenue Extension
Program improvements to create a fully paved connection along Paige Avenue between Glencoe Road and Wallace Road / Mission Drive

17. Alternative Intersection Improvements
Roundabouts identified as potential alternatives for two locations:
SR 44 & Airport Road
SR 44 & Canal Street
Unique operational and safety benefits
Aesthetic features enhance gateway to the City
Feedback from public desired prior to further evaluation
S.R. 44 Corridor Management Plan

18. Roundabout Concept at SR 44 & Airport Road
Improve safety
Operational benefits compared to traffic signal
Defines western limits of New Smyrna Beach
Supports transition of vehicle speed as they enter New Smyrna Beach traveling eastbound

19. Roundabout Concept at SR 44 & Canal Street
Improves existing weave on WB SR 44 at Mission/Wallace
Improves business access
Further emphasizes the intersection as a gateway feature
Creates space for ped/bike improvements due to reduced roadway footprint
