The Industry Way and 120th Avenue intersections experience significant vehicular turning conflicts due to their proximity, high mainline traffic volumes, and limited mainline gaps during peak hours. In coordination with the local community council, residents expressed concerns regarding excessive speeds on Old Seward Highway, the difficulty of making a left turn out of 120th Avenue, as well as cut-through traffic on 120th Avenue.
To mitigate angle crashes, DOT&PF proposes to install a raised median on Old Seward Highway with directional left-in only median openings at Industry Way and 120th Avenue. This is expected to reduce the number of angle crashes at these intersections by limiting the allowable left-turning movements and by simplifying a motorist's decision-making at the stop-controlled approaches.
