Traffic Study Report to be Presented during the November 9 Village Board Meeting

In response to a petition from residents of Primrose Street (subsequently followed by a petition from residents of Broad Branch Road and Newlands Street) citing safety concerns associated with cut-through traffic, the Village’s Traffic Committee issued a series of recommendations to the Village Board, including improvements to the existing “No Trucks” signage, reduction of the posted speed limit from 25 to 15 MPH in the 100 and 200 blocks of Primrose Street, a pilot program for non-emergency vehicle access restrictions from Western Avenue during rush hours, and approval of a previous recommendation from the Village’s consulting traffic engineer to extend the existing “No Parking” zone in the 100 block of Primrose Street (near the curve in the roadway).

During its meeting in July, the Village Board approved a contract with The Traffic Group, a traffic engineering firm, to study the potential impacts from the committee’s recommendations, specifically: 1) a comprehensive signage improvement plan for Primrose Street, 2) non-emergency vehicle access restrictions during morning and afternoon rush hours from Western Avenue onto Primrose Street, Summerfield Road and Broad Branch Road, and 3) a speed limit reduction on Primrose Street. Additionally, the Board authorized an efficacy study of existing access restriction signage for streets in the Town of Chevy Chase along the west side of Connecticut Avenue, between Blackthorn and Thornapple Streets.

The Traffic Group will present its report to the Village Board and community during the Board’s meeting on Monday, November 9. The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. Click on the link below to access the report (also linked in the online meeting agenda).
