Floyd County, IndianaFloyd County Thoroughfare PlanSection 2–Needs IdentificationThe future no-build scenario for the US 150/Old Vincennes/Paoli Pike study area includethe planned addition of a two-way left-turn lane from the end of the four-lane portion of US150 to the county line. Old Vincennes Road was also be widened to two eleven foot laneswith five foot wide paved shoulders from Luther Road to the east. The final plannedimprovement that is included in the future no-build operations is the signalization of US 150and Edwardsville-Galena Road. Even with these improvements the general trends seen inthe existing condition simulation are apparent in the future no-build simulation as well. Allthe stop controlled intersections along US 150 operate at LOS F during both peak periods.This is due to the very high volumes along US 150 that make it almost impossible to mergeinto the traffic steam from the side roads. In the afternoon the intersection of US 150 andLawrence Banet Road also operates at a LOS F due to the larger volumes of commutertraffic combined with the large volumes of people using the Highlander Point commercialdevelopment. Paoli Pike continues to operate at a generally acceptable LOS in the futureno-build scenario.Table 2.05-4 shows selected queue length simulation results in the US 150 corridor fromfuture no-build Synchro modeling. All queues that were either greater than 500 feet orwould block an adjacent intersection are shown.LocationUS 150 and OldVincennes RoadUS 150 and LawrenceBanet RoadUS 150 and LutherRoadUS 150 and Paoli PikeUS 150 and BrushCollege RoadUS 150 and NavilletonRoadUS 150 andEdwardsville – GalenaRoadOld Vincennes Roadand Highlander PointPaoli Pike andScottsville RoadApproachAM Peak HourQueueLength (ft)Intersection QueuesBlocksUpstreamIntersectionApproachPM Peak HourQueueLength (ft)BlocksUpstreamIntersection- - - WB >1500 NoSBT 860 No NBT 1,180 NoSBT 800 No NBT 1,230 NoSBL 650 No NBT 1,250 NoSBT 740 No WBR 800 NoSB 730 Yes SB >1,500 YesEBT >1,500 Yes WBT >1,500 NoEBT >1,500 Yes WBT >1,500 Yes- - - SB 830 YesEBT 680 No WBT 640 NoNote: NBL = Northbound Left NBT = Northbound Through NBR = Northbound RightSBL = Southbound Left SBT = Southbound Through SBR = Southbound RightEBL = Eastbound Left EBT = Eastbound Through EBR = Eastbound RightWBL = Westbound Left WBT = Westbound Through WBR = Westbound RightTable 2.05-4 Critical Future No-Build Intersection Queue Lengths in US 150 Study AreaPrepared by Strand Associates, Inc. ® 2-19KRH:pll\S:\@SIECO\001--050\046\008\Wrd\Thoroughfare Plan\Draft 07-19-07\S2-Needs Identification 07-19-07.doc\072007
