How can we increase safety on the 90° turns or blind corners on Fairview Loop?
DOT&PF indicated that 3 or 4-way stops at several locations, like the 90-degree curves, might be one of the calming devices used to slow traffic or otherwise improve safety. One of the most effective ways to correct safety issues on sharp curves is to increase the radius so that the curve maneuver speed more closely matches approach speeds (see table above). In doing so, the alignment becomes more consistent and driver’s expectancy of conditions is not violated. Other considerations to improve safety on curves include improving sight distance by clearing and brushing, installing advance curve warning signs with flashing beacons, reconstructing the curve to include shoulders, increase the “banking” of the curve and adding curve delineators such as “chevron signs” and reflectors.
