37 <br /> US 70 Multimodal Corridor Study <br /> though not excessive for the primarily 45 mph speed limit. There are no bicycle facilities and limited <br /> pedestrian facilities along the corridor. <br /> 4.3.2 Intersections <br /> Within the study area, US 70 and US 70 Business intersect approximately 95 public streets, and numerous <br /> private roads and driveways. Of these, fifteen signalized intersections and two unsignalized intersections were <br /> quantitatively evaluated for existing and future year operations (see Figure 8): <br /> Signalized Intersections <br /> • US 70 (W. Center Street) at James Walker Road <br /> • US 70/ NC 119 (Center Street) at SR 1962 (Third Street) and Washington Street and Norfolk <br /> Southern Railway Crossing 735 469V <br /> • US 70/ NC 119 (Center Street) at 4th Street and Washington Street and Norfolk Southern Railway <br /> Crossing 735 471 <br /> • US 70/NC 119 (Center Street) at NC 119 (Fifth Street) and Norfolk Southern Railway Crossing 735 <br /> 472D <br /> • US 70 at SR 1114 (Buckhorn Road) <br /> • US 70 at SR 1004 (Efland-Cedar Grove Road) <br /> • US 70 (Cornelius Road) at US 70 Business/SR 1328 (Faucette Mill Road - Revere Road) <br /> • US 70 at NC 86/US 70 Business/Churton Street <br /> • US 70 at SR 1588 (Orange High School Rd) <br /> • US 70 at SR 1555 (Miller Road) <br /> • US 70 at SR 1002 (St Mary's Road) <br /> • US 70 at SR 1561/1709 (Lawrence Road) <br /> • US 70 at SR 1567 (Pleasant Green Road) and SR 1713 (Mount Herman Church Road) <br /> • US 70 Business at NC 86/SR 1879 (Elizabeth Brady Road) <br /> • US 70 Business/NC 86 at SR 1009 (Churton Street) <br /> Unsignalized Intersections <br /> • US 70/SR 1303 (East Washington Street) at SR 1402 (Mattress Factory Road) <br /> • US 70 at US 70 Business/SR 1562 (Palmers Grove Church Road) <br /> Recent Roadway Improvements <br /> Several signalized and unsignalized intersections have been upgraded through recent projects beyond their <br /> original cross-sections to reduce crash potential and/or increase capacity. Such improvements--typically <br /> involving additional turn-lanes, acceleration/deceleration lanes, or channelization-are summarized below: <br /> James Walker Road <br /> • Median crossover, no left turn bay <br /> Third Street <br /> • Dedicated left turn lanes on US 70 <br /> Fourth Street <br /> • Dedicated left turn lanes on US 70 <br /> 28 Existing Conditions and Critical Issues <br />
