Along the one-way pair segments on both Little River Turnpike and John Marr Drive, all driveways would by default become right-in/right-out
access, simplifying movements and reducing conflicts, likely resulting in improved safety along the corridor.
One advantage of the one-way pair alternative is that no additional pavement is required along this the most constrained section of Little River
Turnpike. Additional pavement exists for improved sidewalk and streetscape opportunities as appropriate under VDOT standards.
Most of the properties with right-in/right-out access along Little River Turnpike have interparcel connectivity and additional access to John Marr
Drive that has signalized access to Little River Turnpike.
1. Columbia Pike is closed at Little River Turnpike, which improves traffic operations. The businesses along this roadway have access to LRT
via the roundabout concept at Backlick/Columbia Pike/Maple Place intersection.
2. The Columbia Pike / Backlick / Maple Place roundabout is only a intended to improve traffic operations and connectivity between Columbia
Pike and Backlick Road and dose not preclude a signalized intersection should a conventional design be shown to operate effectively.
3. Annandale / Ravensworth Road is realigned to improve intersection geometry and safety and will impact properties at these intersections.
