Background The Road Safety Audit (RSA) focused on the segment of Route 16 in Douglas, Massachusetts, from the Webster Town Line to the Main Street Intersection. The segment of Route 16 experienced 49 crashes from 20102014, including three fatal and two incapacitating injury crashes. The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) has determined that the Town of Douglas would be eligible to receive funding for resurfacing and other quality improvements for Route 16 under the High Risk Rural Roads (HRRR) program of the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) if a RSA were conducted and the proposed design incorporated the safety improvements identified in the RSA. The HRRR program requires a roadway to be classified as a collector or local roadway in a rural area on which the crash rate for injury crashes or fatal crashes is higher than the statewide average. The RSA study area is illustrated in Figure 1. In general, the RSA is intended to identify potential safety improvements that can be evaluated and included as part of current and/or future design efforts for resurfacing/reconstruction. The shortterm, lowcost potential improvements could be considered by the responsible agency for implementation prior to improvements proposed under MassDOT Project No. 608168, as appropriate. The MassDOT Project No. 608168 for Webster Street (Route 16) Safety Enhancements is scheduled to complete the design phase and be ready for bid and construction in FY 2017 (October 1, 2016). Page 1

Road Safety Audit Route 16 (Webster Street) Corridor, Douglas Prepared by Hoyle, Tanner & Associates, Inc. Project Data The audit team conducted an RSA for the Route 16 corridor from the Webster Town Line to the Main Street Intersection in Douglas Massachusetts, on Monday, May 18, 2015. The RSA agenda appears in Appendix A. Table 1 lists the audit team members and their affiliations. Appendix B provides contact information for all team members. Table 1.

Hoyle, Tanner & Associates, Inc. Prior to the RSA, in order to begin assessing possible safety issues, the team reviewed collision diagrams and a crash detail summary based on crash records supplied by the Douglas Police Department for the corridor. Appendix C provides the detailed crash data for the study area. For the 5 year period between January 2010 and December 2014, there were 49 crashes reported along Route 16 between the Webster town line and the Route 96 intersection. This included 3 fatal injury crashes, 2 incapacitating injuries, 7 minor injuries, and 37 property damage only crashes. The majority of the crashes were single vehicle crashes (73%) which generally involved loss of control of the vehicle and striking a fixed roadside object. In particular, 26% of the crashes involved collisions with roadside utility poles. A noticeably high percentage of the crashes (60%) within the study period occurred during a four month winter period. Of these crashes, 18 occurred while the roadway conditions were either snowy or icy. Finally, a large percentage of the corridor crashes (43%) occurred during nighttime hours potentially due to limited roadway delineation and street lighting. Additionally, the project team performed a drive through of the project area to familiarize ourselves with and video document the roadway for presentation at the RSA and reviewed previous studies, master plans, and development plans along the corridor.

Road Safety Audit Route 16 (Webster Street) Corridor, Douglas Prepared by Hoyle, Tanner & Associates, Inc. Project Location and Description The RSA area is located within the Town of Douglas, MA along an approximate 4 mile segment of Route 16 (Webster Street). The segment of roadway runs east/west from the Webster town line to the intersection of Route 96 (Main Street). The roadway is under Town of Douglas jurisdiction and is classified as an Urban Minor Arterial/Rural Major Collector and has a posted speed limit of 45 mph throughout the segment. Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) volumes for the corridor are approximately 5,700 to 6,000 vehicles per day with 7% to 8% trucks based on 2014 count data provided by the Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission. This roadway serves as the primary connection between downtown Webster & I395 to the west and Douglas Center & Route 146 to the east. Within the study area, the roadway consists of one (12 ) travel way in each direction with varied paved and unpaved shoulders (02 paved, 2 + 12 + unpaved and also a few trail head parking spots and bus turnarounds). This stretch of roadway is largely rural due to the adjacent Douglas State Forest and consists of only a few minor intersections (described below) and driveways to residential properties mainly on the east end of the corridor. As the roadway alignment consists of several long tangent segments with minimal defined access points, passing is permitted in several locations. During the RSA mention was made that due to the high elevation of the road situated within the Douglas State Forest, it is the road crews first assignment to sand/salt/plow Webster Street during winter weather events. There are two intersections along this stretch of Route 16 that were also evaluated: Route 16 (Webster Street) at Cedar Street is a fourway unsignalized intersection. Cedar Street, which is a local roadway under Town of Douglas jurisdiction, crosses Route 16 at an approximate 45 degree angle and is stop controlled. Dedicated turning lanes are not provided on any of the approaches. An aerial of this intersection in shown in Figure 2. Route 16 (Webster Street) at Route 96 (Main Street) is a threeway intersection with a flashing beacon. Route 96 (Main Street), which is also an Urban Minor Arterial/Rural Major Collector under Town of Douglas jurisdiction, moves freely while Webster Street is stop controlled. While dedicated turn lanes are not provided, an unconventional shared EB right/nb slip lane allows some traffic to bypass the main intersection. The large expanse of pavement and unclear traffic control create driver confusion and errors. An aerial of this intersection is shown in Figure 3. Page 3

Road Safety Audit Route 16 (Webster Street) Corridor, Douglas Prepared by Hoyle, Tanner & Associates, Inc. Audit Observations and Potential Safety Enhancements During the preaudit video walkthrough and the field investigation performed on Monday, May 18, 2015; the RSA team identified several safety issues along the corridor and at intersections including travel speed, roadway geometry, surface drainage, signage, lighting, sight distance, and pavement condition. Route 16 (CorridorWide) Observations: Travel Speeds The posted speed limit throughout the Webster Street corridor is 45 mph. Speed data that was collected with RSA Team performs field investigation on the traffic counts indicated that the average running speed May 18, 2015. at the Webster Town line was approximately 45 mph with an 85% speed of 49 mph, while just east of the Main Street intersection the average speed was 40 mph with an 85% speed of 44 mph. However, the local public safety officials believe that speeding is a significant safety issue within the corridor. It is believed that the speed data is misleading, as the data locations are on either end of the project and do not cover the central tangent portion of the roadway. The straight roadway geometry and minimal driveways & intersections through the Douglas Town Forest section are believed to afford drivers the opportunity to travel at speeds significantly above the posted speed limit. The crash data supports this assumption as 17 of the 49 crashes cited motorists driving erratically or too fast for conditions. The Douglas Police Department indicated that some level of enforcement is done on this stretch of roadway each day during the AM or PM peak periods and that a large number of the citations in Town are given in this location. With existing pavement markings passing is allowed in several locations throughout the corridor and there are several crashes that have resulted from these maneuvers over the 5year period. Page 7

Road Safety Audit Route 16 (Webster Street) Corridor, Douglas Prepared by Hoyle, Tanner & Associates, Inc. Roadway Geometry The roadway alignment for Route 16 between the town line and Main Street generally consists of long tangents connected by fairly flat curvature (3000 R or larger). However as the roadway approaches Main Street and the residential density increases, a few of the curves have a significantly sharper radius (1500 or less) without proper warning and appear to be in poor relationship with the vertical curve (i.e. a horizontal curve located beyond a vertical crest curve. This relationship between the horizontal and vertical geometrics is undesirable as the crest blocks the drivers line of sight to see the Turneddown guardrail terminals increase horizontal curve ahead. Similarly, the vertical risk for serious injury if impacted. profile of the roadway throughout the Douglas State Forest section is generally flat with a constant downgrade from west to east which would tend to elevate travel speeds for eastbound traffic. After the Cedar Street intersection, the profile consist of shorter vertical curves which limit sight distance of approaching vehicles, intersections, and horizontal curves. Of particular concern is the utility pole adjacent to house #68. Due to roadway geometry the pole has been struck many times. The pavement section on Route 16 consists of one 12 travel lane in each direction and generally 6 to 2 of paved shoulder. A varying width gravel shoulder, from 0 up to 8 or 10, limit driver expectancy. The roadside along Route 16 consists of numerous obstructions within the 18 20 clear zone. The clear zone is an area beyond the travelled way paint marking, measured perpendicular, to establish a zone free from obstruction to the driver. The clear zone for a roadway with a 45 mph speed limit and approximately 6,000 vpd should be 18 to 20 from the edge of travelway, which is generally not provided. Utility poles are located on one side of the road or the other throughout the corridor and are generally located within 4 6 of the edge of pavement. The tree line, while further back than the utility poles, are is still located within the clear zone. Additionally, there are several locations where large glacial boulders or rock faces are reachable by vehicles. This is indicative of the crash data as 26 of the 49 crashes or 53% involved a single vehicle and a fixed object along the roadside (13 of these crashes included utility poles). Guardrail is provided in numerous locations to protect steep side slopes, water, and other hazards. However, the majority of the guardrail terminals are simply turneddown type terminals rather than energy absorbing terminals. Turneddown terminals may not meet current state/federal roadside safety standards based on the 85 th percentile speed which is not yet determined. Finally, there are a couple of gravel areas used as school bus turnarounds for the Town s of Douglas and Webster located along the corridor. These locations are simply gravel bumpouts which allow the bus to pull out of traffic, but do not allow the bus to complete its maneuver without blocking traffic. Advanced signage for these bus turnarounds are provided, however, safety concerns have been raised in the past. Drainage Although effective capture of stormwater in roadside ditches and closed system pipes and structures is not known to be a concern, the RSA team noted that the heaved and rutted pavement surface along Route 16 allows water and ice to become trapped on the paved roadway surface, which can lead to hydroplanning Page 8

Road Safety Audit Route 16 (Webster Street) Corridor, Douglas Prepared by Hoyle, Tanner & Associates, Inc. and ultimately result in vehicles losing control. Signage The RSA team identified that there is limited and ineffective signage throughout the corridor. Although it was not measured, it is believed that the corridor signing may not meet current retroreflective requirements, which is of particular concern for the warning signs. The posted speed limit signs are combined with a Radar Enforced message on the standard size sign which decreases the text size of the speed limit numerals and reduces visibility. The team also noted that curve warning signage is not provided along the corridor for any of the sharper horizontal curves. There have been several crashes related to the roadway curvature where vehicles have lost control and struck fixed objects resulting in incapacitating or fatal injuries. Delineation Roadway departures along the existing horizontal curve at #68 Webster Street have resulted in serious and fatal injuries. Route 16 contains limited roadside delineation throughout the corridor. These measures which include retroreflective pavement markings, post mounted delineators, and guardrail delineators allow motorists to identify the edge of the roadway. They are especially useful for identifying roadway curvature and provided added visibility during nighttime operation and inclement weather. This is a particular concern for Route 16 as 43% of crashes occurred during nighttime hours, while 32% of crashes were during weather events. The double yellow roadway centerline along Route 16 has been recently repainted, however, the white edge lines remain faded. Retroreflective roadside reflectors are not provided within the project limits. Guardrail delineator use is inconsistent and does little to help define the edge of the roadway. Additionally, the use of delineators on roadside utility poles is inconsistent. Lighting The RSA team identified that there is very little lighting along the Route 16 corridor and the Douglas State Forest section is particularly dark during nighttime hours. Utility pole lighting is provided at the project intersections and at a few of the sharper curve locations, however, the team believes it to be ineffective for providing adequate lighting and awareness of the roadway condition. Pavement Condition A major concern for the Town of Douglas is the condition of the pavement surface throughout the corridor. The Town s limited resources for roadway improvements and the large volume of trucks which utilize the corridor has led to a pavement surface that has become significantly cracked, heaved, and rutted; especially during the winter months when 60% of the crashes occur. The uneven pavement surface allows stormwater runoff to pond on the roadway and makes it significantly more difficult to clear the roadway during winter weather conditions. In addition, the Town has noted that the roadway is a regional cold spot in Town that freezes prior to other adjacent roadways due to the rise in elevation through this segment and that the substantial tree cover limits sun exposure and increases the duration of ice on the pavement. Page 9

Road Safety Audit Route 16 (Webster Street) Corridor, Douglas Prepared by Hoyle, Tanner & Associates, Inc. This deteriorated pavement not only increases the likelihood of hydroplaning and wheel slippage during wet & icy conditions, but the significant bumps may also increase the likelihood of loss of control during dry periods as well. The crash data support this theory as 50% of crashes occurred when there was precipitation on the roadway. The Town also noted that the road crown has deteriorated over the years. Wildlife Collisions Due to its rural nature, the Route 16 corridor also experiences a significant amount of collisions with wildlife. During the 5year reporting period, seven collisions involving deer were reported. Town Officials indicated that this is a larger concern along the eastern residential end of the project where animals may be feeding in resident s yards. Bicycle Accommodations and Signs Due to statements made by Town officials, accommodations for cyclists, mountain bikes and pedestrians that travel along and cross the corridor should be made. The lack of bicycle facilities was stated. Also, pedestrians tend to cross in the areas of tail heads. Advance signage and trail designations would help alert drivers of upcoming pulloffs and possible pedestrians. Impaired Drivers The Police mentioned that OUI s have been an issue in the past with drivers returning from bars in Webster in the evening. Increased enforcement was mentioned as a method to address the issue. Potential Safety Enhancements: 1. Consider providing MUTCD compliant speed limit signage with standard numeral sizes and supplemental Radar Enforced plaques to aid in motorist identification of the posted speed limit. 2. If available, consider using both permanent and temporary speed display signs to alert motorists to their current speed in comparison to the posted speed. In rural corridors with long straight sections like Route 16, perception of speed can sometimes be challenging. 3. Remove passing zones along the corridor help reduce overly aggressive driving. Town Officials believed the passing zones were unnecessary due the relatively short corridor length between Webster and Douglas. If passing zones are to remain; length, sight distance, and signage to meet adequate design criteria should be evaluated. 4. Consider reducing travelway lane width to 11, particularly in the denser eastern section of the roadway, to attempt to reduce vehicle speeds traffic calming measure and alert motorists to the more thickly settled residential area. 5. Provide high friction surface course in sharper horizontal curvature to reduce roadway departure particularly at the #68 house. Consider maintenance issues associated with this. 6. Provide wider paved shoulders (5 for bicyclist accommodation) and a consistent gravel shoulder. This will allow additional recovery space for vehicles prior to departing the roadway and will allow bicyclists and pedestrians to keep out of the traveled way. Consider utilizing a Safety Edge, as Page 10

Road Safety Audit Route 16 (Webster Street) Corridor, Douglas Prepared by Hoyle, Tanner & Associates, Inc. defined by FHWA to, along the edge of the shoulder to reduce tire scrubbing which causes vehicles to lose control as they depart the paved surface. 7. Work with utility companies to shift poles out to the ROW (particularly west of Cedar Street where the ROW is wide and at house #68) to provide a larger clear zone for errant vehicles. Most importantly in the case of the pole at house #68. 8. Consider clearing trees out to the limits of the ROW or to the edge of the appropriate clear zone width of 18 to 20 feet from the traveled way for Route 16 according to AASHTO Roadside Design Guide standards to reduce the risk of vehicle fixed object collisions. 9. Consider replacing turndown guardrail terminals with Energy Absorbing Guardrail Terminals (EAGRT) to limit the potential for injury if guardrails are struck. 10. Expand and pave bus turnarounds to allow completion of maneuver using available ROW. Ensure that these locations are intended to be used by bus companies into the future. 11. Resurface roadway to provide an even pavement surface which will eliminate ponding on roadway and reduce out of control crashes due to hydroplaning, wheel slippage, and bumps. In the short term, consider tree trimming to allow additional sunlight to penetrate the corridor. 12. Consider providing Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) solution such as dynamic signing/flashers or roadway sensors that will allow Town Officials to be alerted and inform motorists to slippery road conditions. 13. Provide curve warning signage and advisory speed plaques, as needed, to alert motorists to unexpected sharp curvature and reduce the potential for roadway departure crashes. 14. Replace aged signage with new signs meeting current retroreflective standards to ensure visibility during nighttime and inclement weather. 15. Restripe roadway edge lines with retroreflective paint markings to help motorists identify the edge of the traveled way. 16. Provide retroreflective post mounted delineators along the corridor and chevrons on the curves, to help motorists identify the roadway horizontal geometry. Additionally, provide retroreflective markers on utility poles and other roadside hazards to increase visibility of these obstructions. 17. Provide deer crossing signage with supplemental mileage plaques (i.e. Next XX miles) to alert motorists to potential animals in the roadway. 18. Adding street lighting west of the Cedar Street intersection. Page 11

Road Safety Audit Route 16 (Webster Street) Corridor, Douglas Prepared by Hoyle, Tanner & Associates, Inc. Route 16 at Cedar Street Observations: Skew Angle and Vertical Geometry at Cedar Street limit intersection sign distance. Intersection Geometry Cedar Street forms a fourway intersection with Route 16 and has a skew angle of approximately 45 degrees and requires Cedar Street vehicles (especially southbound) pull out into the Route 16 travel lane and look over their right shoulder to see oncoming traffic. The resulting geometry from the skew also provides tight pavement radii on the acute angle side of the intersection and large sweeping radii on the opposite side. This allows for vehicles making right hand turns onto to Cedar Street to do so at high rates of speed, while vehicles making right hand turns out of Cedar Street (especially large vehicles) must travel slowly to remain on the paved surface. Additionally, the southbound approach for Cedar Street is an uphill grade at Route 16. This grade combined with a vertical crest curve located just to the east of the intersection make it difficult to see approaching westbound vehicles. While the crash data for the most recent fiveyear period does not indicate a significant amount of crashes in this location, the Douglas Police Department indicates that there is a history of approximately 1 crash per year over the last 20 years. Sight Distance In addition to the sight distance issues created by the skew angle and roadway profiles, the sight lines are further obstructed by trees, fences, guardrails, and utility poles that are located in close proximity to the edges of pavement. Also the southbound stop bar location is quite a ways back from Route 16 and requires vehicles to advance beyond it to get a clear view. Signage Intersection warning signage is provided on the approaches to Cedar Street, however, it does not stand out and is easily overlooked due to its placement behind the guardrail amongst the trees and utility poles obscures. In addition, these signs may not meet current retroreflective standards. Drainage Issues The catch basin grate and frame located in the southeast corner of the intersection is a continuous issue. It appears that larger vehicles making right turns onto Webster Street have and continue to cause damage to the structure. The Town struggles to keep it in good working order. Pedestrians Pedestrians cross the intersection to enter the State Forest from Cedar Street and no cross walk is provided. Page 12

Road Safety Audit Route 16 (Webster Street) Corridor, Douglas Prepared by Hoyle, Tanner & Associates, Inc. Potential Safety Enhancements: 1. Replace intersection warning signage to meet current retroreflective standard and confirm proper advanced warning distance for sign placement. Additionally, consider utilizing an oversized or flashing sign to increase visibility and alert motorists to this unanticipated intersection. 2. Consider installing a fourway flashing signal which would improve visibility of the Cedar Street intersection and alert motorists to the potential for conflicting traffic. The signal would flash yellow for Route 16 which operates freely, and red for Cedar Street which is under stop control. 3. Shift stop bar location on Cedar Street southbound approach to appropriate offset from Route 16 edge of travel way. 4. Consider removing/relocating trees, guardrail, fences, and utility poles, on intersection corners, as feasible, to improve sight lines for vehicles approaching and departing the intersection. 5. Consider installing additional street lighting to improve motorist recognition of the intersection and the potential for conflicting vehicular and pedestrian movements. 6. Lower frame and grate and provide paved apron for catch basins on southeast quadrant to reduce impacts and improve drainage capture with large turning vehicles within a built shoulder layout capable of accommodating offtracking. 7. Consider adding a cross walk with proper advanced signage. 8. Intersection reconstruction with approach realignment and profile improvements Route 16 at Route 96 (Main Street) Observations: Intersection Geometry Unconventional Intersection Geometry at Main Street leads to driver confusion and an increased crash rate. Route 16 forms a threeway intersection with Route 96 (Main Street) adjacent to the Old Douglas Center. Route 16 is under stop control while Route 96 operates freely. Previous iterations of this intersection provided an eastbound right turn/ northbound left turn slip ramp separated by a raised traffic island that formed a unconventional Yintersection. In recent years due to large vehicles driving over the curb and hitting a Town fire hydrant, the island was removed and replaced with pavement and a traffic barrel with a stop sign mounted to it. This large expanse of pavement results in driver confusion as to where turning maneuvers are supposed to be performed. Northbound left turning vehicles either use the former slip lane Page 13

Road Safety Audit Route 16 (Webster Street) Corridor, Douglas Prepared by Hoyle, Tanner & Associates, Inc. (which places them adjacent to the eastbound queued vehicles) or utilize the actual Tintersection. Similar maneuvers are made by Eastbound right turning traffic. Southbound right turning traffic must also negotiate a sharp corner radii which reduces operating speeds and sometimes results in vehicles leaving the pavement. The traffic volumes combined with poor intersection geometry allows for a queue of 5 to 6 vehicles to form during the peak hour. Additionally, a vertical crest curve located approximately 350 west of the eastbound stop bar reduces awareness of the intersection and the drivers available stopping sight distance. Although the crash data (and local Safety Official memory) does not reveal any severe crashes at this location, several incidents of vehicles approaching this intersection and rearending stopped or turning vehicles have occurred over the 5year study period. The crash data for this intersection was not included in the analysis as it is beyond the extents of the corridor. Sight Distance As previously noted, the sight distance approaching the Route 96 intersection is compromised by the vertical geometry of the roadway. The result is that vehicles do not always recognize the need to reduce speed and are often required to come to more abrupt stops than anticipated. Signage Stopahead signage is provided for the Route 16 approach to the Route 96 intersection. In addition, a postmounted alternating yellow flashing beacon is provided to alert motorist of the condition. However, this infrastructure is located over 1,200 linear feet from the intersection which greatly exceeds the advanced warning distance for the posted speed limit with this condition. This deviates from drive expectancy and does not provide the motorist with an accurate estimate of how soon the required stopping condition will occur. Additionally as the flashing beacon is not located with the Stop Ahead sign, it is not clearly apparent what condition the beacon is attempting to alert motorist to. Potential Safety Enhancements: 1. Consider realigning intersection through pavement removal and restriping to eliminate the slip lane and form a more conventional tee intersection layout. This should help to eliminate driver confusion, reduce intersection queue, and reduce rearend collisions 2. Consider reducing speed limit below 45 mph in advance of intersection and alerting motorists to Congested District utilizing signage. Upon inspection of the regulatory speed limit it appears that the following exists: Begin Webster Town Line 45 MPH for 3.97 miles eastbound; then 20 MPH for 0.16 eastbound to the intersection. It appears that there is a speed reduction prior to the intersection that is not signed. Also, based on the great reduction it would require advanced reduced speed limit signs along the intersection approach. This should help to notify motorists that they have left the more rural portions of the corridor and roadway conditions are changing. 3. Revise Stop Ahead sign location and combine with flashing beacon to improve driver expectancy of the approaching intersection in conformance with MUTCD requirements. Page 14

Road Safety Audit Route 16 (Webster Street) Corridor, Douglas Prepared by Hoyle, Tanner & Associates, Inc. Summary of Road Safety Audit The RSA team identified several potential safety enhancements for the Corridorwide safety issues that were identified, as well as the specific issues at the Cedar Street and Main Street intersections. Table 2 summarizes the solutions that were discussed and identifies the location, safety issue, potential enhancement, safety payoff, time frame, relative cost, and the agency responsible for the enhancement. The summary table allows for a quick comparison of the potential solutions and forms the basis of a cost/benefit analysis. The safety payoff estimates are based on published Crashed Reduction Factors (CRF) for similar projects, if available, and engineering judgment. These have been categorized as low (<30%), medium (31% to 70%), and high (>71%). The time frame for potential enhancements were categorized as shortterm (<1 year), midterm (1 to 3 years), and longterm (>3 years). As HSIP funding through the HRRR program is expected to be available for construction along the corridor in FY 2017 (October 1, 2016), potential enhancements that would may be able to be accomplished as part of this project but would traditionally be considered longterm improvement were placed in the midterm category. Shortterm solutions could either be constructed as part of this larger construction effort or installed in advance by the responsible agency using other funding sources. The cost for potential enhancements have been broken up into Low (<$10,000), Medium ($10,001 to $50,000), and High (>$50,001). Page 15
