In this particular example, you can see the proposed typical section coming north here is eleven-foot travel lanes with a three foot outside shoulder. Multiple option were being looked at and discussed with Langhorne Borough.
This option looked at closing the northbound left turn lane in order to provide a mountable median, which would also double count as a pedestrian refuge so they would only have to cross one lane of traffic at a time. So it is narrower in the first place as you come up here compared to what it is today. In addition, fresh crosswalk marking, the rectangular rapid flashing beacon and increased pedestrian signing and there are solar panels and lights associated with that that would be triggered to get traffics attention whenever someone is crossing the road.
Other options would be not doing the median, like we’re showing here, but maintaining the left turn lane and then still maintaining a crosswalk with the rapid flashing beacon. We are looking at potential bulb-outs which would potentially narrow up those shoulders from three (3) foot to just one (1) foot right at the intersection. But heading north of Flowers Avenue it’s already one (1) foot shoulders so you’d only be able to do the bulb-out on the southern side of the intersection.
There’ve been various options that we are looking at that combine some of those different aspects to the traffic calming.
