1. District 6 – Safety Applications
Spring 2017

2. Left Turn Lane-palooza
PROVEN EFFECTIVENESS – FHWA has determined that a single left turn lane on a major road approach would be expected to reduce total intersection crashes by:
44% for 3-legged rural unsignalized
28% for 4 legged rural unsignalized
Fayette County
US 62/SR3 & SR 38/CR 137 (Old Springfield Rd.)
Delaware County
US 36/SR3 & CR 605/CR 16 (Condit Rd.)
Franklin County
SR 104 & White Road
All of these turn lanes are warranted by traffic volumes as well (except for westbound left at 62 & 38 - needed to oppose eastbound left)

4. FAY-62-17.64 US 62/SR3 & SR 38/CR 137 (Old Springfield Rd.)
We are requesting $850K to build left turn lanes on NB and SB US 62
Ranked #78 on the 2015 Safety Analyst Rural Intersection list
Request for turn lane received from ODOT Fayette County Manager
Appeared on the Intersection Priority Signage List
Significant truck percentage
16% truck volumes on US 62
16% truck volumes on SR 38
Valero Bloomingburg Ethanol Plant just north of the intersection

5. Crashes the angle from SR 38 was a wide right turn
several of the rear ends, the vehicle went left of center to attempt avoiding the crash, clipped the rear of the stopped car, and continued on into on coming traffic.
Injuries resulted from both rear ends and angle crashes

6. Benefits
Summary of Anticipated Safety Performance of the Project (average crashes/year)
rural location - minimize right of way impacts
conservative estimate, takes into account the possibility of needing to extend the culvert to the north ($300,000 per turn lane, $250,000 for culvert modification)

7. Other Alternatives All Way Stop Signal Roundabout
Not warranted by traffic volumes
Signal
Roundabout
Requires additional right of way
More costly
Still may require culvert modification

emphasize reduction in fatal and injury crashes
turn lanes only could be an interim alternative
100 ft of right of way on 36 should leave plenty of room- a business driveway may need to be closed or relocated

12. Other alternatives All way stop Roundabout Not desirable
Not warranted by traffic volumes
Roundabout
Significant right of way needed
2 businesses, 1 residence
More costly
About double the cost excluding right of way
Nearby 61 and 656 roundabout $2.2 million – double the cost of a signal and turn lanes (excluding right of way)

14. FRA SR 104 & White Road
We are requesting $600K to build a left turn lane on NB SR 104
Appeared on the 2012 Intersection Priority Signage List
Jackson Township has requested left turn lanes at White, Holton, Borror, Hibbs, and Hiner. White is the first intersection south of Stringtown.
Multiple customer complaints
Not on Safety Analyst list as an urban intersection, however, it has rural characteristics and stronger rear-end trend than other rural locations on our list.
Fatal crash 2006
LED stop sign on White installed around 2008
Northbound left turn lane only- east leg is driveway to a house and cell tower (minimal traffic)
Speed limit revised to 50 mph in area

borderline meets signal warrants

17. Other alternatives All way stop Roundabout Not desirable

Likely to impact historic church on SW corner

Rear end crash pattern most efficiently addressed with turn lane
