6-1 Module 6: Group Activity Wright County Safety Review Identifying Opportunities for Making Roads Safer 6-1

6-2 Purpose Analyze selected sites Identify potential safety issues at each site Review collision diagrams of crash types Suggest appropriate, low-cost countermeasures: – General recommendations (maintenance issues, pavement marking issues, etc.) – Specific recommendations for each site/issue

6-3 Wright County County is primarily rural and agricultural, with some recreational traffic associated with hunting and fishing. Commuter traffic peaks are experienced only around the Village of Alvarez, the regional center.

6-4 Wright County Rural road network includes county roads and some highways recently transferred from state jurisdiction. During the winter, the county experiences snowy/icy conditions that may persist for up to about four months.

6-5 Wright County Review sites grouped by area, designated by the nearest town or area: Alvarez (regional center) Hensley Lincoln Spurling Wright County Park

Alvarez: Meadows Road Meadows Road: rural major collector (ADT 2,500) with some intersecting local roads Two-lane rural road speed limit 55 mph Limited shoulder (paved, gravel, and grass) Slope and creek run parallel to Meadows Road Some cyclists present on road during site visits Meadows Rd north of Shell Street

Alvarez: Meadows Road Collision Diagram

6-8 8

Alvarez: Carpenter St and Washburn St Two-way intersection of two 2-lane rural roads (no turning lanes) Speed limits: 55 mph (Washburn St) and 50 mph (Carpenter St) Carpenter St: rural arterial (ADT 3,400) Washburn St: rural collector (ADT 1,900) Major movements: through movements on Carpenter Street Some bicyclists present on road during site visits
