Westworth Village Sight Visibility Study

By Kevin C. Reaves Chief of Police May 2019

Historical Review - Alleyway Traffic Flow

Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 – Current Pattern

Sight Visibility Triangle

Based upon the American Association

• f State Highway and Transportation

Officials Standards (AASHTO) for a 30 MPH roadway, an approaching driver needs to have a minimum of sight visibility of 200 ft to the left and 140ft to the right to ensure adequate sight

• distance. This distance is based upon

the speed of the roadway, reaction time and stopping distance.

Alleyway #8 – Proper Corner Cut Example

Option #1

Install adequate signage such as stop signs at the exit of each alley, stop bar on the alley surface and honk horn sign.

• Pros-
• Additional signage improves driver and pedestrian awareness.
• Cons-
• Does not address sight visibility issues for drivers.
• Still have to pull out onto the sidewalk to check for vehicles before turning.

Option #2

Require non-conforming fences and walls into be brought into compliance to provide adequate sight distance as required by City Ordinance. Mandate corner clips on the fences and walls to meet the city ordinance.

• Pros-
• Non-conforming fences and walls are modified to improve sight distance to

improve the safety for pedestrians and motorist near the alley intersections.

• Cons-
• Several non-conforming fences and walls have trees and structures within the

sight setback.

• Cost of modifying non-conforming fences and purchasing of easement if

necessary.

Option #3

Change the direction of the one-way alleys to exit out on Seymore Lane.

• Pros-
• Eliminates options #1 and #2’s costs as well as the impact upon current

residents of the non-conforming properties.

• Provides adequate sight visibility with existing sight viability setbacks at

Seymore Lane.

• Seymore Lane has a reduced speed and less pedestrian and vehicular travel.
• Eliminates pedestrian and motorist conflicts on Tanny St.
• Cons-
• Costs associated with changing signs around.
• Drivers will have to turn left when exiting the alleys onto Seymore Lane and

have the option to turn onto the intersecting street to access Tanny St or proceed to Coleman St.

Option #4

Change the direction of the alleys to the alternating pattern. The pattern should be based upon the current sight visibility restrictions on Tanny St.

• Pros-
• Allows some alleyways direct access to Tanny St. instead of circling the block

to access Tanny St. Reduces pedestrian and motorist conflicts on Tanny St.

• Cons-
• No uniformity on traffic flow or circulation

Option #5

Do nothing at all. Wait until redevelopment resolves the sight visibility issues with non-conforming fences in the 5800 block.

• Pros-
• No expense to citizens or residents.
• Cons-
• Problems will continue exist until there is redevelopment with the residences

at 5800 and 5801 of each perspective street.

• The safety hazards to pedestrians and motorist will remain present.
