Cul-De-Sac with Right-In Access
Cul-De-Sac with Right-In Access
(OP)
Hello Everyone,
I am doing a Feasibility Study for a small town, and am investigating about the town's request to close an existing T-intersection and turning it into a Cul-De-Sac, but still maintaining a Right-In access (from the top part of the T-Intersection) making it look like a d-intersection (with emphasis on the "small d" for those who still have good penmanship). It's tough to describe and I wish I was able to post a picture of the sketch, so if anyone can make sense of what I described, please give me your input. I am looking to see if it is feasible (again, this is for a Feasibiltiy Study) and/or if it has been done. If you are not able to help out, then at the very least I hope I tickled your funny bone.
Have a great day!

RE: Cul-De-Sac with Right-In Access
What is volume of traffic in cul and in access leg?
What is purpose of changing T intersection to cul? Is there a large U-turn component? Is visibility OK?
Is there school bus activity? Parking in cul envisioned?
As a concept, it seems to be same as a cul with a driveway at 10:00 oclock.
I believe concept is OK, but acceptability depends on the details.

I recall it having a good influence on traffic flows, accidents and neighborhood speeds.
