HIGHWAY 10 CORRIDOR STUDY - FINAL REPORT <br />EXISTING CONDITIONS <br />To develop meaningful transportation solutions, it is important to understand and quantify the <br />existing characteristics of the study area. This process can help identify transportation issues and <br />needs necessary to provide safe and efficient operations for all users, while supporting economic <br />development. The following information provides a summary of the existing conditions evaluation. <br />Transportation System Overview <br />Typical Section <br />The Highway 10 corridor is primarily a rural four -lane divided expressway with select turn lanes at <br />intersections (see FigureZ. There is a wide median, which generally allows most motorist types to <br />complete a two -stage crossing or turning maneuver by using the median. From a traffic control <br />perspective, there is one traffic signal at the intersection of 171st Avenue; the remaining <br />intersections are side -street stop -controlled. The posted speed limit varies between 60 to 65 miles <br />per hour (mph). <br />Figure 2. Typical Section <br />Jurisdiction <br />Roadway jurisdictions include three categories: State, county, and city. Highway 10 falls under State <br />jurisdiction, as does Highway 169 to the west (see Figure 3). This typically indicates higher traffic <br />volumes, less frequent access, and higher speeds. All the roadways that intersect Highway 10 within <br />the study area are under city jurisdiction. <br />Functional Class <br />Functional classification defines the roadway function, including access, speed, regional <br />connectivity, and system connectivity of a roadway. The entirety of Highway 10 is classified as a <br />Primary Arterial road, indicating a mobility focus with low access, high speed, and strong regional and <br />system connectivity. It is connected to Highway 169 - another Primary Arterial. Most roadways that <br />cross Highway 10 are classified as local roadways except for 171st Avenue which is a Major <br />Collector and Jarvis Street/Cleveland Street which is an A Minor Connector (see Figure 4). <br />�GHW4�, <br />�RRIOOR�� <br />
