• Abstract:
  The methodology provided in this report provides guidance for NCDOT conversions of two‐way ; stop controlled intersections to other intersection types to enhance the effective allocation of ; public funds. The findings of this project have been incorporated into the study’s primary ; deliverable, the spreadsheet‐based NCDOT Intersection Life Cycle Cost Comparison Tool, which ; combines enhanced HCM 2010 methodologies and standard cost benefit analysis methodologies ; to calculate the long‐term net benefits of converting a two‐way stop controlled intersections to ; three different intersection options: 1) all‐ way stop controlled, 2) signalized, and 3) roundabout ; types. This deliverable is designed for use during the planning phase of potential intersection ; conversion projects to help stakeholders identify the most cost‐effective conversion ; configuration option. This report summarizes the findings of all project tasks.
