This project creates a modified Restricted Crossing U-turn (RCUT) at the intersection of Pear Street and Erickson Avenue to improve safety and operations at this intersection. Three out of four left turns, as well as the through movements on the minor approaches, are redirected to signalized U-turns. More information about this type of intersection can be found on the VDOT webpage. Marked crosswalks will be provided at the Pear Street intersection, including a pedestrian refuge and enhanced crosswalk to cross Erickson Avenue.
