The recommended intersection <br />treatment was a single -lane roundabout for the intersection of the future <br />conmector road and Eubanks Road to provide superlative traffic <br />op .-rations and to control travel speeds near the school site on Eubanks <br />Road. Traffic simulation was performed utilizing VISSIM software to <br />model future traffic conditions with the schools in place and traffic <br />diversion due to the connector roadway, while also accommodating <br />significant truck traffic along Eubanks Road. M /A/B provided the <br />Ruictional design for the roundabout, including critical elements such as <br />the inscribed diameter, lane widths sidewalk locations, bike lane <br />Sc uthern Orange Campus Master Plan <br />treatments, <br />splitter <br />islands, <br />and apron <br />design. <br />Page 24 <br />
