Principles of Channelization
![Page 4: 31 Channelization.ppt](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/563dbb51550346aa9aac1cfe/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Channelization purpose:
Facilitate safe and orderly movement Separate or regulate conflicting
movements Define paths of travel Use traffic islands or pavement
markings … for both vehicles and pedestrians
![Page 5: 31 Channelization.ppt](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/563dbb51550346aa9aac1cfe/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Types/functions
Directional – control, direct, guideDivisional – divide and alert Refuge – aid and protect pedestrians
and bicyclists
![Page 6: 31 Channelization.ppt](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/563dbb51550346aa9aac1cfe/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Island Channelization
Flush or raised, paved or unpaved, always marked, sometimes delineated
If raised … use lighting If raised rural … also delineate and slope
curbs Size: large enough to command attention Must delineate a path that is natural and
convenient for the driver
![Page 7: 31 Channelization.ppt](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/563dbb51550346aa9aac1cfe/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
7
Island Channelization
Must have sufficient approach sight distance to islands
Right turn island size (75 square feet at least to command attention)
Minimum length of left turn bay 100’ If used at series of rural intersections,
keep geometry consistent
![Page 8: 31 Channelization.ppt](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/563dbb51550346aa9aac1cfe/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Channelization
Gives priority to dominant movements Provides storage and/or deceleration area
for turning vehicles Controls prohibited turns Restricts speed
![Page 9: 31 Channelization.ppt](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/563dbb51550346aa9aac1cfe/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Usage expected in Iowa???

11
Functional Objectives
Limit Conflict Points (i.e., prohibit certain movements, non-overlap of opposing LTs), esp. in vicinity of intersection functional area (see figures)
Limit Conflict Area Complexity (i.e., eliminate legs, add turn lanes, islands)
Limit Conflict Frequency (i.e., add turn lanes, use right angles)
Limit Conflict Severity (i.e., small angles, adequate turn bay length/curb radii for speed differential issues)
![Page 12: 31 Channelization.ppt](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/563dbb51550346aa9aac1cfe/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Points of Conflict
Traffic conflicts occur where the path of traffic movement crosses.

New Construction: all unstopped approaches on primary, high speed rural highway
intersections with other primary roadways Other approaches where through, left, and opposing volumes
justify 12 ft. lanes
Left Turn Lane Warrants – Iowa DOT
Rehabilitation: Typically installed where
there is a safety issue with vehicles turning left
11 ft. or 12 ft. lanes

Warrants (cont.)
Consider left turn lane if advancing volume/percent left combination exceeds these values.
Note: for advancing left turn volume > 300 VPH total, consider dual left turn lane.

Lane Length
Deceleration Provide distance for turning vehicles to decelerate without
interfering with through traffic Deceleration lane length depends on:
Speed number of queued vehicles vehicle length
Minimum: accommodate deceleration from D.S. – 10 mph to stop (PRT & 10 MPH reduction occurs upstream of bay; more in congested, urban conditions)
Storage Unsignalized, accommodate 2 minutes of demand, at least 2
cars (or 1 car and 1 truck if truck% > 10)
![Page 25: 31 Channelization.ppt](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/563dbb51550346aa9aac1cfe/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Some Turn Lane Details
Transitions are often symmetrical reverse curves or straight line
Curves at each end are desirable Green Book: 8:1 to 15:1 tapers for high
speed highways … urban use 100’ for single and 150’ for dual left turn lane

Median Closure
Application – Median openings should be considered for closure when:
A safety or operational problem is evident and an appropriate retrofit cannot be made.
Median width <11 ft. The left-turn bay of a nearby signalized intersection
needs to be extended. Where a pattern of left-turn crashes is evident. Where heavy pedestrian use is predicted or accidents
involving pedestrians have occurred at intersections.
![Page 49: 31 Channelization.ppt](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/563dbb51550346aa9aac1cfe/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
49
Median Closure - Design
The need for visual cues is especially critical during nighttime hours where a 4-way intersection previously existed or there are access drives directly opposite each other.
Minimum 4 ft. width face-to-face of curbs is recommended.
Select and locate landscaping materials to delineate the median.
Landscaping must not obscure sight distances.

Openings in the Raised Median
New median openings should not be permitted except to accommodate intersecting public roads or streets or large traffic-generating facilities such as shopping centers or industrial plants.
Median openings may be permitted in these instances if satisfactorily justified and in the public interest.
