3 Roadway Element
Figure 12. Corridor Recommendations Map
Recommended Improvements To create a balanced and efficient transportation network, transportation recommendations must blend connectivity and access with mobility. Use of the proposed roadway recommendations will strike this balance. The Fuquay-Varina 2040 CTP recommendations provide a baseline for advancing complete street concepts by incorporating pedestrian and bicycle improvements, as further detailed in the Cross Sections section and associated Recommended Cross Sections Map. Using previous planning efforts as a starting point, the needs and opportunities for future roadway improvements were further refined by public engagement and a needs assessment. The map on the following page illustrates the recommendations. Corridor Recommendation Types The following improvement types are the categories that the CTP recommendations are organized within. The Corridor Recommendations Map showcases all of the roadway projects that respond to identified needs. While only a portion of the identified roadway needs can be funded during the lifetime of this plan, the vision projects can be considered in future iterations of this plan or opportunistically as funding becomes available. The results of the prioritization process and identification of priority investment corridors are explored in Chapter 6.
Median/Access Management The restriction of certain turning movements, consolidation of driveways, and addition of medians to enhance mobility and safety along the corridor.
Future Roadway The construction of a future roadway to provide drivers with increased options and to distribute vehicular traffic on alternative routes. Modernization The modernization of existing roadways to meet current transportation needs and design standards. Improvements may include rehabilitating and re-striping roads, lane reconfiguration, shoulder additions and curb and gutter enhancements. Realignment The shift or relocation of strategic intersections or curves to increase safety or simplify vehicular movements .
Added Lanes The addition of at least one lane of travel lane in each direction to address congestion concerns, improve mobility, and improve travel time reliability.
