Delays to through traffic on <br /> Weaver Dairy Road at the project entrances would be minimal, although <br /> traffic turning left out of the project would experience average delays <br /> during peak periods. The ramps at the NC 86 and 1-40 interchange <br /> would operate well with signals, with delays during peak periods for . <br /> exiting left turns if stop control is used. Project traffic will not . <br /> substantially affect the interchange operation. ' <br /> . - <br /> B. Improvements Required <br /> _ . . <br /> As shown by Table 3, the signalization and addition of turn lanes to the . <br /> . • <br /> intersection of NC 86 and Weaver Dairy Road is required to serve both <br /> existing and planned development traffic. (This project has been <br /> completed by NCDOT). Based on peak hour conditions, a signal also <br /> appears to be desirable at the 1-40 interchange, with or without the • - <br /> project. <br /> Project exits should have separate left and right turn lanes to avoid• <br /> .. • delays for right-turning outbound traffic. Left turn lanes on Weaver <br /> Dairy Road approaching the project should be provided at both <br /> .t . <br /> entrances. Property along the Weaver Dairy Road frontage should be <br /> dedicated for widening to the planned ultimate cross section, as <br /> . . required by the County. The major internal project street should be a <br /> • _ <br /> two-lane street with a 20-foot minimum cross section. Old University <br /> •• . Station Road should be paved and constructed to County standards. <br /> . - Standard stop signs and pavement marking should be used at both <br /> . . <br /> • • project entrances, and enough clearing should be performed to ensure <br /> . <br /> adequate sight distance for exiting traffic. The entrances should be <br /> designed with adequate radii to conform with County standards and <br /> permit easy access and egress. <br /> - - <br /> - • <br /> 1 <br /> -.. <br /> .., <br /> -6- <br /> . • . <br /> . i <br /> . . <br /> • , <br />
