IL Route 171 needed to address safety and capacity concerns associated with an unsignalized, three-leg intersection. Most accidents that occurred at the intersection were rear-end crashes and primarily on the eastbound New Avenue approach, so our team was brought in to develop and evaluate five conceptual alternatives involving both signalized and unsignalized intersections with a free-flow, right-turn-slip lane, as well as three variations of two-lane roundabouts. We also identified improvement funding options and assisted the city with grant application materials. Our efforts helped improve channelization and operations at the intersection to encourage more efficient traffic flow and reduce accidents.
