The goal of this assignment is to improve the safety of multiple intersections, many of which will be redesigned as roundabouts

About this Project
AEG provides services for PennDOT District 6-0’s Districtwide HSIP Program. AEG is responsible for delivering survey and geotechnical services at the following locations:
Castor Avenue and Wyoming Avenue Roundabout Design– Through meetings with PennDOT District 6-0 and outreach to the City of Philadelphia, Streets Department, the Castor Avenue (SR 1005) and Wyoming Avenue intersection was identified as a location to evaluate under this assignment. This site involves coordination with SEPTA and utility relocations.
Manor Road and Cedar Knoll Road/Reeceville Road Roundabout Design– The Manor Road (SR 82) and Cedar Knoll Road/Reeceville Road (SR 4005) intersection was identified as a high crash location. A detailed analysis of crashes at the intersection indicates that the combination of poor visibility of the intersection, limited intersection sight distance, and intersection geometry, results in undesirable intersection conditions.
Bethel Road and Mill Road Roundabout Design– The intersection of Bethel Road and Mill Road was identified as a high crash location. The existing Bethel Road (SR 3017)/Mill Road (3014) intersection has a history of angle crashes.
S. Easton Road and New Britain Road (#1) & S. Easton Road and Sauerman Road (#2) Roundabout Design– The S. Easton Road (SR 1001)/New Britain Road intersection was identified as a high crash location The adjacent intersection, S. Easton Road (SR 1001)/Sauerman Road, was included in the design project because these intersections operate in tandem due to S. Easton Road being bifurcated through this segment. The existing intersections of S. Easton Road (SR 1001)/New Britain Road and S. Easton Road/Sauerman Road have a history of angle crashes.
Main Street Corridor Safety Improvements from Egypt Rd to Airy Street– The District identified this location as one with a high percentage of angle crashes and rear-end crashes, and consequently one with a high rate of Fatal and Injury crashes (59% of 227 crashes over past five years). Implementing safety countermeasures will reduce these types of conflicts and improve the overall safety of the corridor.
Old Skippack Road and Schwenksville Road/Shelly Road Roundabout Design– The Old Skippack Road (SR 1017) and Schwenksville Road (SR 4018)/Shelly Road intersection was identified as a high crash location. The existing Old Skippack Road and Schwenksville Road/Shelly Road intersection has a history of angle crashes.
