1 Carroll Engineering Corporation Existing Conditions Richland Township Ronald Reagan Drive Extension Richland Elementary School Strayer Middle School Railroad Crossing Broad Street/PA-313 Ronald Reagan Drive Quakertown Farmer’s Market Station Road

2 Carroll Engineering Corporation Existing Ronald Reagan Drive Richland Township Ronald Reagan Drive Extension Richland Elementary School Broad Street/PA-313 Ronald Reagan Drive Recommended Treatments:  Curb Extensions with Protected Parking  Raised Pedestrian Crosswalks (Speed Tables)

3 Carroll Engineering Corporation Traffic Calming Techniques: Chicanes/Curb Extensions Richland Township Ronald Reagan Drive Extension

4 Carroll Engineering Corporation Traffic Calming Techniques: Chicanes/Curb Extensions Expected Outcome: Reduces pedestrian crosswalk distance Improves line-of-sight for pedestrians Improves motorist’s visibility of pedestrians May slow traffic when moving through the narrow street opening Speed Reduction 5-13 mph Traffic reduction ~ 20% Protected on street parking Contrasting treatment for protected area/landscaped Cost and Additional Concerns: $12,000- $18,000 for intersection improvements May require additional pavement markings and signing Impact on roadway drainage must be addressed Snow and ice removal may be difficult Consideration for truck traffic must be addressed Richland Township Ronald Reagan Drive Extension

5 Carroll Engineering Corporation Traffic Calming Techniques: Speed Table/Raised Pedestrian Crosswalk Richland Township Ronald Reagan Drive Extension

6 Carroll Engineering Corporation Traffic Calming Techniques: Speed Table/Raised Pedestrian Crosswalk Expected Outcome: Speed Reduction 5-13 mph Traffic reduction ~ 20% Protected on street parking Contrasting treatment for protected area/landscaped Cost and Additional Concerns: Increase emergency response time 5-8 sec Cost: ~$3,000-$10,000/Treatment May reduce on-street parking Richland Township Ronald Reagan Drive Extension

7 Carroll Engineering Corporation Traffic Calming Techniques Additional treatments to consider: “Yield to Pedestrian” fold out placards Bollards with chains to direct pedestrians to crossing Richland Township Ronald Reagan Drive Extension

8 Carroll Engineering Corporation Existing Roadway Richland Township Ronald Reagan Drive Extension  Curb Extension Better pedestrian visibility Reduces travel lane to 11’- slows motorists Reduces pedestrian crossing distance Provides protected parking  Raised Pedestrian Crosswalk Better pedestrian visibility Slows down motorists Directs pedestrians to crossing Additional treatments include “Yield placards” and bollards with chains at the Middle School pedestrian crossing to the track

9 Carroll Engineering Corporation Future Conditions Richland Township Ronald Reagan Drive Extension Richland Elementary School Strayer Middle School Railroad Crossing Quakertown Farmer’s Market Station Road Broad Street/PA-313 Ronald Reagan Drive Extension Existing roadway

10 Carroll Engineering Corporation Richland Township Ronald Reagan Drive Extension Ronald Reagan Drive Extension: Roadway design speed is 25 MPH Median Treatment with 11’ travel lanes Typical travel lanes are 12’ wide No on-street parking Raised pedestrian crossings Roundabout at Station Road intersection

11 Carroll Engineering Corporation To summarize: Richland Township Ronald Reagan Drive Extension Richland Elementary School Strayer Middle School Quakertown Farmer’s Market Station Road Broad Street/PA-313 Ronald Reagan Drive Extension Curb Extensions and Raised Pedestrian Crosswalks Strayer Middle School Track Curb Extension, Raised Pedestrian Crosswalks and Bollards with chains Median Treatment and Raised Pedestrian Crosswalks/Speed Tables
