HR-25-05 Phase 1 Executive Summary - PDF, 1.1MB

The Phase 2 survey regarding proposed alternatives for Mooretown Road (Route 603) and Lightfoot Road (Route 646) between East Rochambeau Drive and north of Richmond Road (Route 60) in York County was completed in November 2025.

Intersection #1: Lightfoot Road at Mooretown Road

Four alternatives are proposed for this intersection, including a quadrant roadway (northeast), quadrant roadway (northwest), roundabout, and modified conventional intersection.  

Alternative #1: Quadrant Roadway (Northeast)

The maximum queue for the northbound left-turn extends past the available storage and spills into the through movement during the AM peak hour and PM peak hour. Rerouting left turns from the intersection allows for fewer traffic signal phases at the main intersection, which provides more time for through and right-turn vehicles. This alternative also reduces the number of conflict points and decreases weaving issues from Route 199 (Humelsine Parkway).

• Left-turn movements are restricted at the main intersection.
• Restricted movements use the connector road.

Alternative #1: Quadrant Roadway (Northeast)	32%	22%	19%	20%	7%

 

Alternative #2: Quadrant Roadway (Northwest) 

The maximum queue for the northbound left-turn extends past the available storage and spills into the through movement during the AM peak hour and PM peak hour. Rerouting left turns from the intersection allows for fewer traffic signal phases at the main intersection, which provides more time for through and right-turn vehicles. This alternative also reduces the number of conflict points and decreases weaving issues from Route 199.

Alternative #3: Roundabout (Single-Lane) 

The roundabout is designed to improve operations and safety. This alternative would reduce the number of conflict points and reduce possible weaving issues from Route 199.

• Replace traffic signal with a single-lane roundabout. 
• The northbound right-turn will have a free-flow slip lane. 
• All traffic moves counterclockwise around the intersection.

Alternative #3: Roundabout (Single-Lane)	33%	5%	7%	18%	38%

 

Alternative #4: Modified Conventional Intersection 

The maximum queue for the northbound left-turn extends past the available storage and spills into the through movement during the AM peak hour and PM peak hour. This alternative prioritizes the utilization of the eastbound right-turn lane. This is the heaviest movement in the AM peak hour and PM peak hour, improving the intersection operations.

• Modifying the eastbound approach from an exclusive left-turn lane and a shared through/right-turn lane to an exclusive right-turn lane and a shared left-turn/through lane. 
• The rest of the intersection will remain unchanged.

Alternative #4: Modified Conventional Intersection	17%	15%	26%	27%	15%

 

Alternative #5: Do-Nothing

• Under the Do-Nothing Alternative, the intersection would remain as it is today. VDOT would continue maintenance and repairs, as needed, with no substantial changes to capacity or management activities.

Intersection #2: Mooretown Road at East Rochambeau Drive

Three alternatives are proposed for this intersection, including a continuous green-t, roundabout, and modified conventional intersection.

Alternative #1: Continuous Green-T 

The continuous green-t alternative is designed to improve the intersection’s safety by reducing vehicle conflict points. This alternative also reduces the number of signal phases.

• Southbound through movement to operate freely.  
• Reducing southbound through lane from two lanes to one lane.  
• Westbound left-turn lane would use the receiving lane at the intersection.

Alternative #1: Continuous Green-T	18%	13%	19%	35%	14%

 

Alternative #2: Roundabout  

The roundabout is designed to improve intersection safety by acting as a traffic calming measure, reducing the number of conflict points and addressing possible weaving issues.

• Hybrid roundabout with two lanes in the northbound and southbound directions and one lane in the westbound direction.  
• Free-flowing slip lane for the northbound and westbound right-turns.

Alternative #2: Roundabout	43%	15%	5%	15%	22%

 

Alternative #3: Modified Conventional Intersection 

The modified conventional alternative addresses weaving issues between East Rochambeau Drive and Route 199.

• Removing the channelized westbound right-turn lane. 
• Adding two dedicated right-turn lanes and one dedicated left-turn lane for the westbound approach. The proposed single westbound left-turn operates acceptably in this alternative.  
• The rest of the intersection will remain unchanged.

Corridor-Wide Improvements

The regional bikeway map, adopted by York County in 2023, recommends installing a bike lane along Lightfoot Road and a shared roadway on Mooretown Road. This bike lane will be incorporated with the preferred alternative selected for each intersection. 

Alternative

• Bike lane on Lightfoot Road. 
• On Mooretown Road, bicyclists will share the road with vehicles. A “bicycle warning sign" with "in-road sign” will be installed along Mooretown Road.
