In this particular example, you can see the proposed typical section traveling north has eleven-foot travel lanes with a three-foot outside shoulder. This choice was made after multiple options were discussed with Langhorne Borough.
By closing the northbound left turn lane, a mountable median can be constructed, which would also count as a pedestrian refuge, so pedestrians would only have to cross one lane of traffic at a time. In addition, new crosswalk markings, a rectangular rapid flashing beacon, and solar-powered lights would be triggered to get the attention of motorists whenever someone is crossing the road.
An alternative option is to not install the median, but maintain the left turn lane and crosswalk with the rapid flashing beacon. We are looking at potential bulb-outs that would potentially narrow the shoulders from three feet to just one foot at the intersection. Northbound Flowers Avenue currently has one-foot shoulders, so the bulb-out would only be possible on the southern side of the intersection. Various options are being considered that combine some of those different aspects to aid in traffic calming.
