Yolo 16 and Kentucky Avenue Signalized Intersection
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Install a signalized intersection to provide safety improvements and enhance traffic operations at the intersection of State Route 16 and Kentucky Avenue in Woodland, CA.
PROJECT BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Within a three-year period, 10 of 11 collisions at this intersection were broadsides. Eight of 10 broadsides occurred in 2004. Three warrants (requirements) were met for installation of a traffic signal (or other appropriate countermeasure).
The Department in partnership with the City of Woodland and Yolo County agreed that a signalized intersection is the preferred alternative.
Three Alternatives considered:- Signalization of Intersection: Preferred Alternative
- Installing a Roundabout: Considered but dropped due to lack of support from the public, the City of Woodland and Yolo County.
(What is a Roundabout?) - 4-way stop sign: Considered but dropped due to lack of support and does not meet the operational improvement needs.
