Thank you for your letter of April 25, 1991 concerning the above project.
A five-lane curbed roadway with two lanes in each direction and a two-way left turn
lane (TWlTl) with a dimension of 61 feet back to back and 6-inch wide monolithic
curbs is acceptable to this office. This roadway, however, does not correspond
with the one submitted for review by the City of Colleyville.
This office would be able to recommend either the Bedford roadway or the
Colleyville roadway to our Austin office for approval.
The City of Colleyville has asked me to furnish information available, concerning
the safety of a raised median section versus that of a TWlTl section. The enclosed
article was taken from Transportation Research Record 1239, dated 1989. The last
I two paragraphs in the summary and analysis seem to pretty well sum up the report.
This is the most recent report that I remember that refers to the comparison of the
safety of the two median designs. It is the first one in my memory that indicates
that raised medians are safer than TWLTL medians.
Sincerely,
ORIGINAL SIG~ETI BY
