Project description
Design
Updated: Oct. 15, 2024
The intersection of SE Amisigger Road and Hwy 224 (Clackamas Hwy) is an intersection with high volumes of traffic located east of Barton in a rural area, with a stop sign on SE Amisigger Road. Travelers attempting to turn east or west from SE Amisigger Road onto Hwy 224 during peak traffic periods can experience long wait times.
As part of the project, we analyzed the intersection to determine whether to build a traffic signal or a roundabout. The evaluation determined a two-lane roundabout is less expensive and will be significantly safer.
Why
To provide a safer environment for all travelers and reduce delays for vehicles on Amisigger Road turning onto Hwy 224.
