University of Minnesota Traffic Simulation Study, Washington Avenue Corridor

Abstract

This report documents the results of the analysis conducted to address several issues resulting from March 12, 1997 and April 8, 1997 meetings regarding the Washington Avenue Corridor traffic simulation study. Identified issues for further analysis in order to complete the corridor study included the impact of a pedestrian scramble on traffic, the impact of adding a northbound right-turn lane, documenting accident history on Washington Avenue, reviewing shoulder guidelines, and increasing signal timing splits. This report presents the overall recommendations based on the results of the study.
