Problem 4: Okeechobee Road Stop-Controlled Analysis

Printable Version

This intersection is located at the north end of the Krome Avenue study area. It is a T intersection currently stop-controlled, with the northbound movement stopped in favor of all east-west traffic. The intersection geometrics are shown in Exhibit 3-24.

This is the only movement on the entire Krome Avenue route that is stop controlled. It is currently operating beyond capacity. By 2010, volumes will exceed the capacity by a substantial amount.

The eastbound right turn is unopposed, because the T intersection configuration and the geometrics allow it to flow freely. The northbound right turn merges with the eastbound through movement at a point approximately 400 ft east of the intersection. Both the northbound and westbound left turns conflict with the eastbound through traffic. The critical movement is the northbound left turn.
