2.7.2 STUDY INTERSECTIONS<br />
This section provides information on the sixteen intersections that were evaluated as part of this<br />
<strong>Transportation</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>. These study intersection were chosen based on their importance to the roadway<br />
network, known traffic patterns, community desire, and identified problem areas. Each of the study<br />
intersections were also analyzed in the previous <strong>Phase</strong> 1 study and include select signalized and<br />
unsignalized intersections. The following are the sixteen study intersections evaluated in detail (also<br />
shown graphically in Figure 2.9):<br />
1. Auction Road and Demersville Road<br />
2. Batavia Lane and US Highway 2<br />
3. Beach Drive and Holt Drive<br />
4. Best Way and Truck Route<br />
5. Columbia Falls Stage and Kelley Road<br />

13. Whitefish Stage and Granrud Lane<br />
14. Whitefish Stage and Mission Trail<br />
15. Whitefish Stage and West Evergreen Drive<br />

Each study intersection was analyzed in detail using a number of factors. The previous sections of this<br />
Chapter provide information for the intersection performance, preliminary signal warrants and crash<br />
analysis. This section uses this previous information along with site visit data to look at each study<br />
intersection in detail to define the existing conditions and to identify potential problems.<br />
