Traffic Study Findings

§ Warner, Ray, and Chandler intersections
in City Top 25 for crash rate (1 fatal, 10
serious injury crashes)
§ Rear end (35%) and left-turn (25%)
crashes most common
§ LOS D or better at all intersections in
existing condition
§ LOS E/F by 2050 at most intersections if
no improvements are made
§ LOS D or better at all intersections by
2050 with recommended improvements
§ Recommendations:
§ Widen McQueen Road to six lanes
§ Widen major intersections to include dual left-
turn lanes and dedicated right-turn lanes
