Project Complete

Jun 3, 2024

Traffic calming measures were installed along Moravia Rd from Harcourt Rd to Belair Rd to reduce motorist speeds, provide additional protection for pedestrians, and improve safety for residents parking along the corridor.

This includes reducing the travel lanes to 10.5', varying the buffer on the south side of Moravia Rd, and installing a parking pavement marking line on the north side of Moravia Rd.

Installed continental crosswalks at all minor roadways and flex posts to deter motorists from riding in the parking or buffer area.

April 4th Presentation

Purpose of the Meeting

• Discussing identified issues along the corridor
• Presenting Traffic Calming Quick-Build plan addressing needs
• Projects in the Area
• Community Input on Designs

What is Traffic Calming?

• Reduce average motorist speed
• Improve conditions for non-motorist
• Reducing collision frequency and severity

What is a Quick Build?

• Low-Cost -> High Impact
• Quick Installation
• Includes pavement markings, pavement paint, flex posts, signage changes, etc.

What are the identified issues?

Crashes:

• 2019 to 2021= 32 crashes
• A high number of rear-end and sideswipes in the same direction
• The majority of crashes occur during the day

Pedestrian Facilities:

• Lack of crosswalks
• No Buffer

Roadway Geometry:

• Unmarked Parking Lane
• Wide Travel Lanes
• Motorist traveling at high speeds
• Passing when there is only one lane in each direction.

Existing Conditions

Proposed Improvements

Option 1:

• Create a buffer along EB Moravia Road
• Install pavement marking and flex post to identify the parking lane
• Reduce the travel lane width

Option 2:

• Create a buffer along EB Moravia Road
• Install a bike lane along WB Moravia Road with a buffer
• Reduce the travel lane width
• Remove on-street parking

Looking Forward

Moravia Rd at Walther Ave:

• Resurfacing
• Safety Improvements
• Signal upgrades
• Bumpout Curbs

Moravia Rd at Belair Rd:

• Traffic Study for safety and operation at the signal.
