Problem 4: Clifton Country Road

As you can tell from the overview of the network we presented in the introduction, there are large shopping plazas both north and south of the intersection.  The road to the north ends in a shopping center parking lot while the one to the south threads its way between the Clifton Park Center shopping mall on the east and the Shopper’s World shopping center on the west.

About a tenth of a mile east of the intersection is the freeway interchange with I-87. That location will be the focal point of Problem 5. To the west is the Maxell Drive intersection that was the focal point of Problem 1.

Discussion

Discussion:
This is a complicated intersection. The challenge is to be clear about how the intersection is being represented in the analysis and be careful about interpreting the results. Primarily, the lane configurations and lane utilization make the analysis a challenge.
