While I didn’t get to watch the webinar, I see that this interchange doesn’t have an official rendering like slide 13. So I ask this, why traffic lights? Why not a dog bone or double/twin roundabout? The town desires to keep traffic move slowly through the area. Using traffic lights to divide the traffic into platoons encourages speeding and is inefficient. In a world ruined by cars and infrastructure, it’s a shame to see even more houses demoed for no reason.

The PA 413 (Pine Street) interchange has a rendering as can be seen in the color roll plot on the project website.  Roundabouts were investigated for the interchange; however, single lane roundabouts caused traffic backups onto US 1 and two-lane roundabouts would have required more property acquisition and would not have performed any better than traffic signals from a safety standpoint.  As noted, traffic signals require less property acquisition than a two-lane roundabout and do not require any additional total property acquisitions.
