Lane and Shoulder Width Upgrade
Driving lane width, shoulders and lateral clearance between the pavement
edge and any obstructions (such as utility poles) are important to both travel
efficiency and safety. A number of roadway sections in the NBTS area are
below current roadway design standards for the traffic volumes and function
these roads are now serving. Portions of US 27 have been improved in recent
years. This exhibit shows both those segments and the areas identified
for lane and/or shoulder upgrade.
