Cudlipp / Lockwood & Leon / Times Dispatch

Intersection of Chamberlayne Road (US Route 301) at Cudlipp Avenue / Lockwood Boulevard

• Restripe westbound Lockwood Boulevard lane configuration
  • Existing is one left-turn lane, one shared left-turn/through lane, and one right-turn lane
  • Proposed would be one left-turn lane, one thru lane, and one right-turn lane
• Change signal phasing for the side streets for traffic on eastbound Cudlipp Avenue and westbound Lockwood Boulevard
  • Existing is split phase, wherein signal indication is green for all movements in one direction at a time
  • Proposed operations would have all movements operate permissively – left turns would be made after yielding to oncoming traffic or pedestrians, and no special protected interval would be provided for left turns

• Install pedestrian facilities for the west, south, and east legs of the intersection – this will include curb ramps, marked crosswalks, and audible pedestrian signals with pushbuttons and countdown timers
• Install sidewalk on both sides of Chamberlayne Road (US Route 301)

Intersection of Chamberlayne Road (US Route 301) at Atlee Road

• Restripe the westbound Atlee Road approach
  • Existing approach includes two left-turn lanes, one through lane, and one right-turn lane
  • Proposed approach would include one left-turn lane, two through lanes, and one right-turn lane
• Add a second right-turn lane from northbound Chamberlayne Road (US Route 301) to eastbound Atlee Road
  • This movement would be channelized and signalized – the turn lanes would flare away from the through lanes at an angle to better facilitate two turn lanes onto Atlee Road, and the movement would be controlled by a traffic signal instead of a yield condition
• Extend the existing northbound Chamberlayne Road (US Route 301) double left-turn lanes by 225 feet
• Add a third through lane on southbound Chamberlayne Road (US Route 301) from Rutlandshire Drive to Atlee Station Road – this will provide a third through lane from Rutlandshire Drive to the off-ramp to I-295 northbound
  • The existing weaving lane on southbound Chamberlayne Road (US Route 301) from Atlee Road to the Dominion Orthodontics driveway would be converted to the new through lane
  • New dedicated right-turn lanes would be provided from southbound Chamberlayne Road (US Route 301) to Atlee Road and to Atlee Station Road
  • The existing channelized right-turn lane from eastbound Atlee Road would be maintained, but the acceleration lane would be eliminated to accommodate the third through lane
• Install pedestrian facilities for all approaches of the intersection – this will include curb ramps, marked crosswalks, and audible pedestrian signals with pushbuttons and countdown timers
