Settler’s Pointe Development Hillsborough, NC <br />Traffic Impact Study c <br /> <br />This revision also includes drawings that were revised from the original submittal, and maintain similar <br />Figure numbers, so that reference back to the TIA can be made relatively simply. A list of the drawings <br />revised is included at the end of this report, as are the drawings themselves. <br />The results of the study are presented as follows, listed by Build Phases: <br />2020 Build Phase I <br />The 2020 Build analyses was conducted with the assumption that two new traffic signals would be <br />installed at the I-40 ramp interchanges as part of the recommended improvements, at any level of build. <br />Both of these intersections were recommended for signalization as part of the Waterstone development <br />when they met warrants, however the documents requiring those improvements were not secured. <br />Both of these intersections meet the warrants for signalization under No Build, growth only conditions, <br />as well as existing traffic in 2016. <br /> <br />The development of the light industrial/warehouse parcel was analyzed in stages to determine at what <br />point of build level roadway improvements would be needed in the corridor. After many iterations of <br />build levels, it was determined that 900,000 square feet of warehouse will generate trips that will <br />provide adequate level of service along the corridor on Old NC 86, as well as the Service Road itself, with <br />minimal improvements. The installation of a right turn lane on the Service Road is recommended for the <br />Build Phase for an amount up to 900,000 square feet. Beyond that level of build, any additional <br />construction will require additional improvements. <br /> <br />The recommended improvements for the full build of the warehouse land use restrict left turn <br />movements out of the Service Road, by constructing the intersection as left-in, right-in and right-out with <br />a separation island. The resulting right turn movement will also require construction of a Super-street <br />type U-turn bulb, recommended to be located approximately 1,000 feet south of the Service Road <br />intersection, and controlled by a stop sign for the U-Turn movement. The lane for the U-Turn movement <br />is recommended to provide 200 feet of storage with a taper. <br /> <br />The recommended improvements for the 2020 Build Phase are: <br /> <br />x Install a traffic signal at the intersection of Old NC 86 & I-40 WB, required for CO of any SF build. <br />x Construct the 2nd lane of the I-40 East on ramp, and re-stripe the south bound lanes of Old NC 86 <br />at the I-40 East ramp for dual left turns, at any level of build. <br />x Install a traffic signal at the intersection of Old NC 86 & I-40 EB, required for CO of any SF build. <br />x Install a continuous right turn lane on southbound Old NC 86 between the I-40 East off ramp and <br />the Service Road, at any level of build. <br />x Construct a continuous right turn lane on northbound Old NC 86 between the Service Road and the <br />I-40 East on ramp, at any level of build. <br />94
