box meet since studies tool
We've been doing studies since 1995 and it still doesn't meet the criteria. It's not in the tool box as an option.
leave
It would be unacceptable to leave it there if it didn't work. We would come down and take it out or modify it.
signals turn
We do not turn signals off and on.
closing speed vehicles
At 65 mph, that closing speed between vehicles is pretty significant.
drivers goes looking track trying
When drivers are trying to keep track of who goes next, they're not looking for pedestrians.
expensive speeds
It's more expensive than a signal, but again, I think it's safer. It lowers speeds and it's more efficient.
boring drive gets illegal round three
It's not illegal to drive round and round, but it gets pretty boring after two or three times.
aggressive driver people saw speed taking
It wasn't just speed limits. They saw a lot of driver behaviors that were extraordinary. People making aggressive moves. People, because of the congestion and delays, taking some risks.
crash criteria entirely federal meets
The intersection meets the criteria for a crash location. So it will be funded entirely with federal and NDOT funds.
