The study also provided an internal circulation review, as well as feasibility study of two alternatives for improvements to Motsinger Road as access for the schools. Recommendations for improvements were made for the purpose of mitigating traffic impacts identified in the study to establish acceptable levels of service.

Traffic Assessment West Forsyth High School-Clemmons, NC

In 2008-2009 the Winston-Salem Forsyth County School System hired DTC to review the traffic flow patterns for West Forsyth High School located on Lewisville-Clemmons Road in Clemmons. The site has two access points on Lewisville-Clemmons Road: one direct access point and one exit -only access point; and a third access point via Southwest School Road. DTC evaluated traffic flow at all access points and observed some queuing, capacity, and pedestrian issues at the direct access point on Lewisville-Clemmons Road. There was also a request for the school to dedicate a portion of its access road to the Town. However, this access road had been designed as a storage area for queuing vehicles. Dedication of the access road to the Town would create the situation of vehicles queuing on a public road. Additionally, any new development on the road would create additional traffic and safety issues.  DTC recommended not dedicating the roadway, and recommended redistribution of the traffic and/or double stacking as potential ways to reduce the queues.

Holden Beach Middle School & Park - Holden Beach, NC

In 2007 Brunswick County Public Schools proposed to build a middle school in the town of Holden Beach.  The proposed school site is located east of Stone Chimney Road and north of Cedar Grove Road with site access onto Stanley Road in Brunswick County.  Adjacent to the school, on the same site, Brunswick County Parks and Recreation department proposed to build a county park. The school, as proposed, will serve 650 students initially with future expansion capacity of approximately 800 students.  The project as proposed has one full access point planned for Stanley Road.  DTC was hired to perform a traffic impact analysis for both developments. Since the middle school and the park have different hours of peak use, traffic for the school was analyzed for the weekday arrival peak (6:30-9 AM) and traffic for the park was analyzed for the Saturday peak (10:30-2:30).  Not all intersections were analyzed for each portion of this project because the different land uses created different traffic patterns.  The TIA was conducted based on the scope given by the NCDOT and on- and off-site turn lane improvements were recommended to establish acceptable levels of service.
