Project Overview

The N.C. Department of Transportation proposes to construct reduced conflict intersections (RCIs) at the intersections of N.C. 16 (Brookshire Boulevard) with Old Plank Road and Pleasant Grove Road in Charlotte.

Improvements proposed include converting the traditional intersections to RCIs to help reduce crashes occurring at these two intersections.

What is a Reduced Conflict Intersection?

The most common type of reduced conflict intersection design eliminates left turns from side roads onto busy main roads.

Raised medians direct traffic from the side road to turn right. When there is a safe opening in traffic, drivers enter the flow of traffic on the main route. To go the other direction (traditionally a left turn), or cross the highway, drivers pull into a dedicated lane – typically les​s than 1,000 feet away – ​and make a U-turn. There may be a traffic signal at this location.
