13 <br />▪ Four-to-Three Conversion: Often referred to as a “road diet” it reduces the number of <br />travel lanes from four through lanes to two through lanes with a two-way left-turn lane <br />in the center of the roadway. This can both calm traffic, slow speeds, and provide <br />additional roadway space for crossing enhancements such as a pedestrian refuge <br />island. This is an option if the capacity is found to be appropriate for such a conversion <br />based upon county guidance and engineering judgement. <br /> <br />▪ Multilane Threat: Removing lanes can also improve visibility and remove the multilane <br />threat which is when two or more lanes in one direction approach a crossing. When <br />one car stops for a person crossing the roadway, the second car may not be visible to <br />the person crossing nor is that person visible to the second driver. <br /> <br />2. Engineering review of right- and left-turn lanes if applicable at the point of crossing to <br />verify if they are necessary or if they can be removed. <br />3. If roadway design or turn lanes are appropriate, proceed to Step 2: Roadway Geometric <br />Treatment Options. <br />4. If roadway design or turn lanes are not appropriate, consider lane reductions or turn lane <br />removal before proceeding. If this is not a near-term option, proceed to Step 2: Roadway <br />Geometric Treatment Options.
