Settler’s Pointe Development Hillsborough, NC Traffic Impact Study c This revision also includes drawings that were revised from the original submittal, and maintain similar Figure numbers, so that reference back to the TIA can be made relatively simply. A list of the drawings revised is included at the end of this report, as are the drawings themselves. The results of the study are presented as follows, listed by Build Phases: 2020 Build Phase I The 2020 Build analyses was conducted with the assumption that two new traffic signals would be installed at the I-40 ramp interchanges as part of the recommended improvements, at any level of build. Both of these intersections were recommended for signalization as part of the Waterstone development when they met warrants, however the documents requiring those improvements were not secured. Both of these intersections meet the warrants for signalization under No Build, growth only conditions, as well as existing traffic in 2016. The development of the light industrial/warehouse parcel was analyzed in stages to determine at what point of build level roadway improvements would be needed in the corridor. After many iterations of build levels, it was determined that 900,000 square feet of warehouse will generate trips that will provide adequate level of service along the corridor on Old NC 86, as well as the Service Road itself, with minimal improvements. The installation of a right turn lane on the Service Road is recommended for the Build Phase for an amount up to 900,000 square feet. Beyond that level of build, any additional construction will require additional improvements. The recommended improvements for the full build of the warehouse land use restrict left turn movements out of the Service Road, by constructing the intersection as left-in, right-in and right-out with a separation island. The resulting right turn movement will also require construction of a Super-street type U-turn bulb, recommended to be located approximately 1,000 feet south of the Service Road intersection, and controlled by a stop sign for the U-Turn movement. The lane for the U-Turn movement is recommended to provide 200 feet of storage with a taper. The recommended improvements for the 2020 Build Phase are: • Install a traffic signal at the intersection of Old NC 86 & I-40 WB, required for CO of any SF build. • Construct the 2nd lane of the I-40 East on ramp, and re-stripe the south bound lanes of Old NC 86 at the I-40 East ramp for dual left turns, at any level of build. • Install a traffic signal at the intersection of Old NC 86 & I-40 EB, required for CO of any SF build. • Install a continuous right turn lane on southbound Old NC 86 between the I-40 East off ramp and the Service Road, at any level of build. • Construct a continuous right turn lane on northbound Old NC 86 between the Service Road and the I-40 East on ramp, at any level of build. 24
