Safety Improvements at NH Route 10/East Thetford Road

Project Summary:
The intersection of NH Route 10/East Thetford Road in Lyme has long been a safety concern for town officials. The expansive, unmarked pavement at the intersection creates confusion for drivers and presents problems for the New Hampshire Department of Transportation District II maintenance crew tasked with clearing snow. The geometry of the intersection facilitates speeding, especially for drivers turning onto East Thetford Road from NH Route 10 southbound, and a number of curb cuts at the intersection, including the local park-and-ride facility, create additional conflict points for traffic.
Over the course of three meetings in the Spring of 2010, UVLSRPC staff facilitated a Context Sensitive Solutions process to build community consensus on a series of safety improvements at the intersection. During that process, Lyme town officials, businesses and abutters of the intersection worked closely with UVLSRPC and staff engineers from the NHDOT Bureau of Highway Design to develop a design for improvements at the intersection that not only improve safety, but fit the unique and historic context of Lyme’s village center.
