Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE)

• Examination of different intersection types/control
• Accommodation of future traffic volumes and needs
• Traffic Signal
• Provides signal control for pedestrian crossings
• Less right of way is needed
• Offers flexibility with timing adjustments
• Roundabout
• Slower speeds - Safety
• Better traffic operations
• Less severe crashes

Evaluation Factors

• Safety
• Level of Service (LOS)
• Indicates intersection ability to handle travel demand
• LOS A = excellent operation conditions
• LOS F = extremely congested conditions
• Pedestrians & Bicycles
• Right of way
• Access
• Construction Cost
• Environmental Impacts
• Operation & Maintenance Cost

Full and restricted access to Pleasant View Road is based on safety, traffic volumes, and proximity to intersections

• Full access with turn lanes are provided for all public roads

intersecting Pleasant View Road.

• Most driveways accessing Pleasant View Road will be

limited to right-in/right-out access and will not have a median

• pening.
• Please review the roll plots to see specifics regarding

access.

Access to Pleasant View Road

Pedestrian and Bike Accommodations

• Alternatives for Existing Multi-Use Path Crossing
• Pedestrian bridge crossing over Pleasant View Road
• Maintain existing at-grade crossing
