Floyd County, IndianaFloyd County Thoroughfare PlanSection 4–Alternatives Evaluationvii.SR 64 and Tunnel Hill RoadCurrently the intersection of SR 64 and Tunnel Hill Road operates at LOS Cduring the AM peak hour and LOS E during the PM peak hour. With theplanned addition of a traffic signal and lane addition on SR 64, thisintersection operates acceptably during both peak hours in 2030.This intersection will require reconfiguration to accommodate the traffic thatwill be rerouted to it because of the conversion to right-in right-out of WestKnable Road and Edwardsville Galena Road. On westbound SR 64 theintersection will require an additional left-turn bay and an additional throughlane. Eastbound SR 64 will require an additional left-turn bay and anadditional through lane. Southbound Tunnel Hill Road will require a dual leftturnbay, and a through-right lane. Northbound Tunnel Hill Road will requirethe addition of a left-turn bay. This signal should be coordinated with bothsignals at the I-64 ramp terminals.Operations modeling indicates that with forecasted AM and PM peak-hourvolumes, the intersection configuration shown in Figure 4.01-23 operates atLOS C during both peak hours. The left turn movements for all approachesoperate at LOS E.Figure 4.01-23SR 64 and Tunnel Hill Road ImprovementsTraffic 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.Prepared by Strand Associates, Inc. ® 4-27KRH:pll\S:\@SIECO\001--050\046\008\Wrd\Thoroughfare Plan\Draft 07-19-07\S4-Alternative Evaluation 07-19-07.doc\072007
