2 Superstreet Corridor Location 2
3 3 US Highway Looking south above Evans Road, pm peak
4 Why? Traditional Intersection Traditional Intersections allow left-turns from all approaches and for simplicity 4 basic signal phases: 1. Left Turns on Major St 2. Throughs on Major St 3. Lefts on Cross St 4. Throughs on Cross St 4 While this provides freedom of movement it increases delay time and congestion. The intersection area is shared using time to separate the movements.
5 Innovative Intersections Innovative Intersections reduce the number of signal phases to increase operational efficiency by removing or redirecting some or all left-turns. Fewer signal phases = lower the delay to drivers. Innovative Designs also reduce the number of conflict points, increasing intersection safety. 5

14 Advantages of Superstreet Intersections Improved Signal Progression along Main Road Travel Time Savings Reduced Emissions and Fuel Consumption Delay Savings Access Control Features Inherent in Design Reduction of Intersection Conflict Points Flexibility in Turnaround Location Relatively Simple Design Turn Lanes Traffic Signals 14
15 Superstreet Traffic Signal Efficiency Benefits Simple 2-phase Signals vs. Multi-phase = lower delay Conflicting Signal Movements Separated with Time and Space; not only time Less Lost Time per Cycle More Green Time for Main Street & Cross Street Movements Results in Two One-way Streets Much easier to progress traffic through green lights 15
16 Summary of US 281 Superstreet Benefits Fits in Existing Right-of-Way Safety Conflict Points Cut in Half Crossing Conflict Points Significantly Reduced Saves 1,050,852 Vehicle-hours per Year AM Peak 65 percent delay reduction PM Peak 73 percent delay reduction Saves 1,120,522 Gallons of Fuel per Year $24.6 Million in Benefits/year (Delay, Fuel, Stops) Construction Cost $5.2 Million One Year Benefit:Cost =
17 Potential Project Challenges Indirect Pedestrian Path Potential Driver Confusion Truck U-Turns Speeds Along Major Roadway Construction Phasing 17

Speed mph mph % Improvement 19% 34% *Official travel time measurements gathered by TxDOT For comparison, Free Flow Travel Time (no traffic, no signals, at posted speeds) = 6.7 min (55 mph) 20
21 US 281 Observations Flow Rates for Northbound 281 at Evans in Evening Peak Before Superstreet Through vehicles = 850 vehicles per hour per lane After Superstreet Through vehicles = 1,500 vehicles per hour per lane >75% Increase in Flow Rate 21
22 Media Reports 22 22
23 Media Reports 23
24 Why A Superstreet? Low-cost improvement No additional through lane capacity No additional right-of-way needed Simple environment documentation and clearance process Improved traffic flow shows great return on investment (benefit:cost) Improved Safety Relatively quick construction 24
25 Where this concept is applicable Major signalized urban/suburban arterials Limited funding for major improvements Limited opportunity for right-of-way expansion Right-of-Way (150+ ft) Environmental concerns 25
