What is compliance with right-in-right-out rules, and how could we further increase traffic safety?
Project Description:
Currently, there are notable compliance issues with driveways where the turning movements are restricted to right-in and right-out only. Different types of separators (colloquially known as "Porkchops") exist, from just paint, to low-curbed concrete barriers, to full separation with landscaping. Transportation Planning has input on the design of these separators when a development is proposed. We are wondering - what the rate of compliance is across different separator typologies, considering other factors such as traffic volume and land use, and how Transportation Planning could drive greater compliance with these rules while keeping separator design as simple and low-cost as possible. Students would ideally complete field research about compliance, and analyze these findings.
