This project proposes to expand the capacity of the existing intersection to handle the existing and future traffic needs by constructing a roundabout at the intersection of Houze Road (SR 140) and Hembree Road. The intersection improvement will also integrate the City of Roswell’s proposed Roswell Loop trail system by constructing a 12-foot multiuse path along Hembree Road for pedestrian and bike mobility. The normal typical section for Houze Road and Hembree Road is a two lane urban section. The posted speed limits are 35 mph for Hembree Road and 40 mph for Houze Road. The existing right of way for both Houze Road and Hembree Road varies from 60 feet to 70 feet. The project would require a maximum of about 120 feet of right-of-way to accommodate the roundabout, which will shift the intersection slightly to the northeast.
