State Route 154 and Foxen Canyon Road Intersection Improvements Project
Project Description
The Project proposes to add a roundabout to the existing intersection to improve traffic operations by reducing the number of conflict points between vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. Other project components include installing sidewalks for bikes and pedestrians, installing splitter islands to alter the approach geometry, and street lighting for visibility and safety. Additional work activities may include utility verifications, utility relocation, and undergrounding of previously overhead utilities.
Project Benefits
Purpose and Need
- This project is located in Santa Barbara County on State Route 154 at the Foxen Canyon Road intersection near Los Olivos. The intersection is experiencing collisions at a rate higher than the statewide average for similar facilities. The purpose of the project is to reduce the number of fatal and serious injury collisions occurring at the intersection by constructing a roundabout. The roundabout will eliminate high speed broadside collisions.
