22-53 Traffic

Please have the CREC Traffic Consultant review and report on the sight distances at the Route 100 corner at Serio's Pizzeria.

While there may be an obstruction of sight lines from the driveway of the abandoned building, the condition is an existing condition that is not changed by the addition of the CREC.  Sight distance from this driveway is controlled by the location of the building proximate to the road.

 The roadway curve radius at this location measured graphically (without survey) along the existing Church Street centerline is approximately 140 feet.  This is slightly below the 154 feet required for a design speed of 25mph, which is the posted speed at this location. RIDOT has installed a series of “chevron” type warning signs along the curve to alert drivers.  We would recommend that RIDOT also consider adding advisory (20mph) speed plates to curve warning signs approaching the curve, as well as selectively trimming back vegetation along the southbound side.
