Route 63 Intersection Safety Improvements (Complete)

With over 30,000 vehicles per day traveling Route 63 at high speeds, existing intersections and median crossings pose a significant risk for serious and fatal injury crashes. Turns onto and off of the roadway, in which vehicles cross paths at right angles, are of greatest concern. During heavier traffic times, finding a safe opportunity to make turns can be challenging. Deceleration lanes, acceleration lanes, and intersection reconfigurations are proposed to enhance safety at multiple intersections.
