The below intersections were agreed upon to be analyzed to <br /> determine the associated impacts from the proposed development. Planned Projects <br /> Two projects are planned within the study area. Those are U-5845 (Churton Street Widening)and 1-3306A(1-40 <br /> Widening). Both seek to make improvements to Old NC 86 at and north of the 1-40 interchange, but no <br /> improvements are planned in the immediate vicinity of the site. <br /> The traffic forecast for 1-3306A was revised in July 2019 and states that Assumptions and changes in the distribution <br /> of population and employment in the forecast study area are implicit in the Triangle Regional Model (TRMv6)that was <br /> updated in May of 2019. The rezoning for Settler's Pointe occurred on January 23,2018. Therefore,the zoning of <br /> this project was included and therefore the development was accounted for in the traffic forecast. <br /> Figure 3 shows a diagram of the existing lane configurations, geometry, and traffic control features in the study area. <br /> • Old NC 86 at Waterstone Drive/Rippy Lane existing four-legged signalized intersection <br /> • Old NC 86 at 1-40 WB Ramps existing two-way stop-controlled intersection <br /> • Old NC 86 at 1-40 EB Ramps existing two-way stop-controlled intersection <br /> • Old NC 86 at Service Road existing two-way stop-controlled intersection <br /> • Old NC 86 at Davis Road existing two-way stop-controlled intersection <br /> The proposed development is envisioned to construct the following driveways: <br /> • Service Road at Warehouse A Driveway proposed two-way stop-controlled driveway <br /> • Service Road at Warehouse B Driveway proposed two-way stop-controlled driveway <br /> • Service Road at Warehouse C Driveway proposed two-way stop-controlled driveway <br /> • Davis Road at Warehouse D Driveway proposed two-way stop-controlled driveway <br /> 2.2 EXISTING ROADWAY CONDITIONS <br /> Table 1 provides a detailed description of the existing study area roadway network.
