Abstract

The study area for this project consists of the intersection of State Route 3 (SR 3)/US 41/Cobb Parkway and SR 92/Dallas Acworth Highway located in Cobb County, Georgia. This project proposes to expand the capacity of the existing intersection to handle the existing and future traffic needs by adding a dual left tum lane from US 41 northbound onto SR 92 southbound. The SR 92 southbound right turn lane into the Yester‑Year Flea Market entrance would be converted to a travel/merge lane and extended for about 1 000 feet, tapering to one lane at Acworth Dallas Rd. State Route 92 northbound would be widened to add an exclusive right turn lane. The US 41 southbound existing exclusive right turn lane would be extended for an additional 800 feet to accommodate right turn storage at the intersection. Other intersection improvements include new crosswalks, new pedestrian and traffic signalization, resurfacing of the intersection, and associated pavement markings and signage. The posted speed limits are 45 mph for SR 92 and 55 mph for US 41. The total length of the SR 92 improvements would be about 1500 feet. The existing right‑of‑way for both SR 92 and US 41 varies from 1 00 to 220 feet. Limited additional right‑of‑way and easements would be required for this intersection improvement.
