Sight distance is adequate looking northwest from the <br /> proposed drive. Sight distance looking southeast is restricted by <br /> a curve on SR 1004 and the roadway embankment. The roadway embankment <br /> will have to be graded to allow a sight line from the drive to a point <br /> 550 feet away on SR 1104. <br /> Traffic on SR 1004 is fairly heavy for a secondary road and is <br /> used as a shortcut to NC 54. <br /> It is felt that most traffic entering the subdivision will be <br /> left turning from the direction of Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Per these <br /> considerations, a left turn lane on SR 1004 is recommended. <br /> If we can be of any further help, please advise. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> . W. Watkins <br /> iii DIVISION ENGINEER <br /> JWW/DBK/gm <br /> Atta. <br /> cc: sir. D. B. Kelly <br /> An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer <br />
