Terry Southold Town Clerk, Town Hall 53095 Main Road P.O. Box 1179 Southold, New York 11971 Dear Mrs. Terry: Route 25 at Eugene Road and Cox's Lane, Cutcho~ue Your January 4the September 29th Letters We have recently completed an investigation at the subject location to determine if the installation of a traffic signal would significantly improve traffic safety and operations. Our investigation included an accident analysis, volume counts, a delay study, and field observations of the area. We reviewed the accident data to identify accident patterns such as right angle or left turns, which can be addressed with appropriate countermeasures. Some accident types, such as rear end, actually increase with the addition of a traffic signal. With this in mind, we conducted an accident analysis to review this tntersection's safety record. Copies of the original accident reports from the Department of Motor Vehicles were evaluated to d~termine if there were any problems not evident in our accident summaries. Continuous hourly traffic volume counts were taken on both side streets from August 1, 1989 to August 8, 1989. Our data showed low to moderate volume on Cox Lane and moderate to heavy volume on Eugene Road. We did note higher traffic volumes on Saturday and Sunday as compared with the weekday volumes. A delay study was taken during ~he morning and evening peak hours as well as during the midday. On Cox Lane, our data showed a predominance of right turning vehicles with some through vehicles and only an occasional left turning vehicle. The Eugene Road data showed a predominance of left turning vehicles with some through vehicles and very few right turning vehicles. Occasional delays for left turning vehicles and through vehicles of longer than one minute were observed. These delays approximate the criteria normally associated with the addition of a traffic signal and will probably increase as future development occurs in the community. Realizing that traffic volume along Route 25 is also increasing, we are recommending a traffic signal for this intersection. This will provide a more efficient use of assigning the right-of-way for both Eugene Road and Cox Lane traffic entering Route 25. However, with the present narrow width of Eugene Road we anticipate delays on these side roads ,as the majority of the signal's green time will be assigned AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER Mrs. Judith T. Terry January 12, 1990 Page 2 The signal installation will be included in our 1991 Signal Requirements Contract. Unfortunately, the items in this contract will restrict roadway improvements. In the interim, we are asking the Town to consider roadway work on either Eugene Road or Cox Lane to bring these town roads into a better alignment. A contract has been awarded that will install new epoxy type pavement markings on Route 25 through Cutchogue. The passing zones by the King Kullen Shopping Center and through the subject intersection will be eliminated. The intersection warning sign for westbound Route 25 traffic east of the Cox Lane/Eugene Road intersection will be moved east to increase its visibility. We appreciate the Town's concerns in bringing this metter to our attention. Very truly yours, g ~ ~..gineer cc: Chief H.
