<br /> <br />o One combination thru-left turn lane with 450’ of full storage and <br />appropriate transition per NCDOT requirements. <br />o Dual exclusive right turn lanes with 450’ of full storage each and <br />appropriate transition per NCDOT requirements. <br /> Provide coordinated traffic signal at this location. <br /> <br />Proposed Site Access and I-85/US 70 Connector Intersection: <br /> <br /> Locate site access as far to the north as possible while adhering to applicable <br />roadway design guidelines to maximize intersection spacing relative to Ben <br />Johnston Road <br /> Evaluate alternatives to accommodating northbound U-turns from Ben Johnston <br />Road in order to increase intersection efficiency at the site access via possible <br />right turn overlap and signal timing afforded by relocated U-turn movements. <br /> Provide a three-lane eastbound approach consisting of the following: <br />o One full exclusive right turn lane <br />o One exclusive right turn lane with 300’ of full storage and appropriate <br />transition per NCDOT requirements <br />o One exclusive left turn lane with 200’ of full storage and appropriate <br />transition per NCDOT requirements. <br />o Provide a minimum internal protected stem of 300’ <br /> Provide dual eastbound ingress lanes <br /> Construct dual northbound left turn lanes with 330’ of full storage each and <br />appropriate transitions per NCDOT requirements. <br /> Construct a southbound exclusive right turn lane with 100’ of storage and <br />appropriate transition per NCDOT requirements <br /> Provide coordinated traffic signal at this location. <br /> <br />I-85 and US Connector and Ben Johnston Road Intersection: <br /> <br /> Install appropriate median and channelization to convert Ben Johnston Road to <br />RI-RO. <br /> Accommodate resulting U-turns at the following intersections: <br />o Southbound U-turns- I-85/ US 70 Connector and I-40/85 Eastbound <br />Ramps <br />o Northbound U-turns- Evaluate alternatives to accommodating U-turns <br />from Ben Johnston Road in order to increase intersection efficiency at the <br />site access intersection via possible right turn overlap and signal timing <br />afforded by relocated U-turn movements <br /> <br />Phase 2 Improvements: <br />The following improvements shall be constructed with development of phase and prior <br />to placing the proposed site uses into operation. <br /> <br />I-40/85 Eastbound Ramps and Mt. Willing Road Intersection: <br /> <br />138
