Floyd County, IndianaFloyd County Thoroughfare PlanSection 4–Alternatives Evaluationiii.SR 62 and Corydon PikeThis intersection will require modifications to accommodate projected futuretraffic volumes, and a traffic signal will be required to provide access toCarolyn Ave and Corydon Pike. Traffic volumes suggest that a three throughlane will be required north of the intersection. We recommend that the 6-laneroadway be continued at least 800 feet past the intersection of SR 62 andCorydon Pike Northbound SR 62 will require the addition of a single left-turnbay. Southbound SR 62 will require the addition of an additional left-turn bayand a right-turn bay. Westbound Corydon Pike will require the addition of aright-turn bay. The Carolyn Ave approach will not require modification.Operations modeling indicates that with forecasted AM and PM peak-hourvolumes, the intersection configuration shown in Figure 4.01-19 operates atLOS B during both peak-hours. All movements operate at LOS C or better.Traffic volumes suggest it would only be feasible to have pedestrians cross tothe median of SR 62 during the minor road phase, so a sufficient refugespace should be provided for pedestrians in the median of SR 62.Figure 4.01-19SR 62 and Corydon Pike ImprovementsPrepared by Strand Associates, Inc. ® 4-23KRH:pll\S:\@SIECO\001--050\046\008\Wrd\Thoroughfare Plan\Draft 07-19-07\S4-Alternative Evaluation 07-19-07.doc\072007
