5 Road Safety Audit Main Street (U.S. Route 7, Routes 23 & 41) at South Main Street (U.S. Route 7) and Maple Avenue (Routes 23 & 41) Nitsch Engineering Project Data A Road Safety Audit for the intersection of Main Street (U.S. Route 7, Routes 23 & 41) at South Main Street (U.S. Route 7) and Maple Avenue (Routes 23 & 41) in Great Barrington occurred on Tuesday, July 21, 2015 in Great Barrington, MA. As indicated in Table 1, the audit team consisted of representatives from the Town of Great Barrington, MassDOT Traffic Engineering & Safety, MassDOT District 1, and Berkshire Regional Planning Commission (BRPC). The group observed operations with respect to safety at the study intersections and this report documents the audit team s findings. The RSA agenda can be found in Appendix A. Contact information for the team members can be found in Appendix B. Table 1. Participating Audit Team Members Name Agency/Affiliation Jane Davis Nitsch Engineering Jeff Bandini Nitsch Engineering Kevin Chiang MassDOT Boston Traffic Operations Joe Sokul Great Barrington DPW Superintendent Clete Kus Berkshire Regional Planning Commission William Walsh Great Barrington Chief of Police Sonja Gray MassDOT District 1 Peter Frieri MassDOT District 1 Background The Road Safety Audit (RSA) is one of the first steps in the design process as well as a necessary step for the project to be eligible to receive Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) federal funds for construction. The goal of this RSA is to identify potential safety issues that can be addressed with shortterm improvements prior to construction and long-term improvements that can be incorporated into the design. All improvements should adhere to the MassDOT guidelines for intersection design. The RSA is a collaborative process by state, municipal, law enforcement, public works, and design consultants. The process involves conducting a meeting to discuss current crash data and safety issues at the site, visiting the site to discuss possible solutions that would improve safety, and preparing a written report that outlines the safety issues discussed along with the costs, timeline, and agency responsibility for implementing improvements.

6 Road Safety Audit Main Street (U.S. Route 7, Routes 23 & 41) at South Main Street (U.S. Route 7) and Maple Avenue (Routes 23 & 41) Nitsch Engineering Project Location and Description The Locus Map of the study area is shown in Figure 1. An aerial map of the study location of Main Street (U.S. Route 7, Routes 23 & 41) at South Main Street (U.S. Route 7) and Maple Avenue (Routes 23 & 41) is shown in Figure 2. Main Street/South Main Street (U.S. Route 7) in Great Barrington is classified as a principal arterial that runs in a north-south direction through the project area. Main Street is present from the project intersection northward until its terminus at State Road in Great Barrington, approximately 1 mile to the north. South Main Street is present from the project intersection southward until the Town of Sheffield line, approximately 2 miles to the south, where the roadway continues as North Main Street. U.S. Route 7 is designated as north-south and is present from its northern terminus at Interstate 89 in Highgate, Vermont to its southern terminus at Interstate 95 in Norwalk, Connecticut. Within Massachusetts, U.S. Route 7 is present from the northern border in the Town of Williamstown to the southern border in the town of Sheffield. Main Street/South Main Street (U.S. Route 7) is maintained by the Town of Great Barrington and serves approximately 14,500 vehicles per day north of Maple Avenue and approximately 11,000 vehicles per day south of Maple Avenue. The speed limit along Main Street/South Main Street is 30 miles per hour (mph) in the vicinity of the intersection. Maple Avenue (Routes 23 & 41) in Great Barrington is classified as a rural minor arterial that runs in an east-west direction through the project area. Maple Avenue is present from the project intersection westward until it crosses the Green River in Great Barrington, approximately 1 mile to the west, where the roadway continues as Egremont Road. Within Massachusetts, Route 23 is designated as east-west and is present from its eastern terminus at U.S. Route 20 in Russell to the western border in the Town of Egremont, where it continues into New York as New York State Route 23. Within Massachusetts, Route 41 is designated as north-south and is present from its northern terminus at U.S. Route 20 in Pittsfield to the southern border in the Town of Sheffield, where it continues into Connecticut as Connecticut Route 41. Maple Avenue (Routes 23 & 41) is maintained by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) and serves approximately 5,500 vehicles per day west Main Street. The speed limit along Maple Avenue is 35 miles per hour (mph) in the vicinity of the intersection. Nitsch Engineering evaluated the last three years of available crash data ( ) from the Town of Great Barrington to establish a crash rate at the intersection to compare to the MassDOT signalized intersection average of 0.80 per Million Entering Vehicles (MEV) Statewide 1. For the three-year period , a total of 16 crashes were documented, yielding a crash rate of 0.93 per MEV, which is above the Statewide average. 1 The 2010 Average Crash Rates, per Million Entering Vehicles, by Intersection Type, MassDOT, Highway Division, for District 1 indicate a low sample total and recommend the use of Statewide Rates only.

9 Road Safety Audit Main Street (U.S. Route 7, Routes 23 & 41) at South Main Street (U.S. Route 7) and Maple Avenue (Routes 23 & 41) Nitsch Engineering Audit Observations Based on a summary of the existing crash information and site visit, audit participants identified the following safety issues that are summarized below: Intersection Geometry, Visibility, and Traffic Operations: o Due to the angle of the Maple Avenue approach, the high amount of heavy vehicles turning right from Main Street onto Maple Avenue requires a large radius at the northwest corner of the intersection; this large radius also provides the width necessary for left-turning heavy vehicles from South Main Street onto Maple Avenue. This geometric design, however, results in the following safety and operational issues: Right and left-turning heavy vehicles often mount the traffic island on Maple Avenue due to both the geometry of the intersection and the presence of sloped granite curbing around the island, causing damage to existing signage and the pedestrian signal post. Motorists executing the Main Street right-turn movement at a relatively high rate of speed do so as a result of both the large radius and the presence of a right-turn signal arrow during all phases except for the exclusive pedestrian phase. The large radius at the northwest corner, combined with both the sloped area behind the curb and the location of the pedestrian crosswalk, contribute to poor visibility of pedestrians for right-turning vehicles from Main Street onto Maple Avenue. Due to these characteristics, the pedestrian crossing sign located approximately five feet in advance of the crosswalk provides little advanced warning for motorists prior to executing the turn. Looking northbound, the large radius and the sloped area behind the curb contribute to poor visibility of pedestrians crossing Maple Avenue from Main Street right-turning vehicles Looking westbound, the pedestrian crossing sign provides little advanced warning. Sloped granite curbing provides little protection to the signal post and signage within the traffic island Page 5

10 Road Safety Audit Main Street (U.S. Route 7, Routes 23 & 41) at South Main Street (U.S. Route 7) and Maple Avenue (Routes 23 & 41) Nitsch Engineering o o Backplates, which aid in visibility against the adjacent background, are not mounted on any of the traffic signals. Due to the roadway geometry, angle of the traffic signals, and presence of cut-away visors, the signals for South Main Street and Maple Avenue are visible from both approaches, which can create driver confusion. View from Maple Avenue shows the red signals intended for South Main Street can be easily seen from this approach. No back plates on signals. o o There are two (2) signals mounted on the span wire for each of the approaches, however, there are no supplemental post-mounted signals for any of the approaches. MassDOT is currently rehabilitating a portion of Main Street north of the intersection under Project #602182, estimated for completion in July The proximity of this reconstruction project results in traffic queues in the northbound direction through the intersection. Access Management: o Great Barrington Police Station, located on the east side of the project intersection, is not accessible directly from Maple Avenue. To access the Police Station driveway requires a right turn from the de-facto left-turn lane, or a left turn from the channelized right-turn lane, which may confuse nearby drivers. Page 6

11 Road Safety Audit Main Street (U.S. Route 7, Routes 23 & 41) at South Main Street (U.S. Route 7) and Maple Avenue (Routes 23 & 41) Nitsch Engineering o The curb cut on South Main Street for the commercial driveway of the plaza located on the southwest corner of the intersection presents issues with the following: Vehicles exit the site onto South Main Street at roughly the same location where the Main Street southbound lane and the Maple Avenue channelized right-turn lane merge. The excessive driveway width presents no clear path for entering and exiting vehicles. Turning vehicles must execute maneuvers proximate to the intersection. Lane Designation and Pavement Markings: o Due to the excessive width of the single de-facto left-turn approach lane on Maple Avenue and the two (2) northbound receiving lanes on Main Street, left-turning vehicles frequently form two lanes prior to executing the turn. Maple Ave approach is wide enough for vehicles to form two lanes to turn left o o There is no advanced warning for the lane configuration on any of the approaches. This is particularly problematic on the Maple Avenue approach, where the channelized rightturn lane cannot be seen in advance of the intersection. Audit participants observed vehicles executing illegal turns from both approach lanes on Maple Avenue as a result of the separation of the de-facto left-turn lane and channelized right-turn lane. Page 7

12 Road Safety Audit Main Street (U.S. Route 7, Routes 23 & 41) at South Main Street (U.S. Route 7) and Maple Avenue (Routes 23 & 41) Nitsch Engineering o The pavement markings in the vicinity of the traffic islands are faded and the delineation for the gore areas is unclear. The presence of faded markings coupled with the lack of hatching within the gore area, is problematic for Main Street/South Main Street southbound vehicles traveling through the intersection, where it appears two (2) receiving lanes are present. Looking southbound along Main Street, pavement striping can be confused for two receiving lanes Pedestrian Accessibility: o o o o There is no pedestrian signal head on the post located in the traffic island that separates the eastbound and westbound lanes of Maple Avenue. The pedestrian push button at the traffic island that separates the approach lanes for rightand left-turning vehicles on Maple Avenue is not compliant with current standards. The pedestrian signal indications do not contain countdown displays. According to the Signal and Timing Plan, the pedestrian walk interval is seven seconds with a 13 second flashing don t walk clearance, however, based on field observations, the pedestrian walk, flashing don t walk, and clearance timing seem inadequate. Pedestrian ramps are not present at any of the crosswalk termini or within the traffic islands. Page 8

13 Road Safety Audit Main Street (U.S. Route 7, Routes 23 & 41) at South Main Street (U.S. Route 7) and Maple Avenue (Routes 23 & 41) Nitsch Engineering o Some of the sidewalks at the intersection and the pedestrian paths through the traffic islands are difficult to traverse and do not meet current standards. Pedestrian path in traffic island is difficult to traverse; no pedestrian ramp at crosswalk terminus Bicycle Accessibility: o Bicycle accommodation is not present at the intersection. Emergency Vehicle Pre-emption: o Emergency vehicle pre-emption is not present at the intersection. Page 9

14 Road Safety Audit Main Street (U.S. Route 7, Routes 23 & 41) at South Main Street (U.S. Route 7) and Maple Avenue (Routes 23 & 41) Nitsch Engineering Potential Safety Enhancements Following review of crash data and traffic counts and a discussion of potential safety issues, audit participants recommend the following. Redesign the geometry of the intersection taking the following options into consideration: o Realign the intersection such that Maple Avenue intersects Main Street at as close to a 90 degree angle as possible to form a more typical T -type intersection. o Asses the feasibility of re-designing the intersection with a roundabout. Both options would alleviate the operational issues for heavy vehicles turning onto Maple Avenue from Main Street, increase visibility for pedestrians crossing Maple Avenue, reduce travel speed, and would provide accessibility to and from the Great Barrington Police Station. Reconstruct the traffic islands with vertical curb to prevent heavy vehicles from easily mounting the islands. Install a Turning Vehicles Yield to Pedestrians sign on Main Street southbound to give motorists advanced warning for pedestrians crossing Maple Avenue. Realign the crosswalk across Maple Avenue such that the terminus on the north side is closer to the corner to improve visibility for both motorists on Main Street and pedestrians waiting to cross Maple Avenue. Reconstruct the traffic signal system to provide improved visibility of the signals, including backplates for each signal indication and supplemental pole-mounted signals where appropriate. Reduce the width of the curb cut for the commercial plaza driveway on South Main Street, while providing access and egress as far from the intersection as possible to reduce conflicts with vehicles merging from Maple Street eastbound and Main Street southbound. Install a No Left Turn sign at the driveway egress on South Main Street, as vehicles can access the intersection by using the existing curb cut on Maple Avenue. Construct a median island on South Main Street to prevent left-turns from the plaza onto South Main Street. Determine if a second left-turn approach lane on Maple Avenue is warranted, or restripe the gore area at this location to reduce the width of the approach lane. Install advanced warning signage showing lane designations well in advance of the intersection to limit vehicle lane changes close to the intersection. Restripe the intersection to improve visibility of faded pavement markings, including hatching to more clearly define the gore areas around the traffic islands. Page 10
