The proposed project would improve the intersection of SR 212/Browns Mill Road and Salem Road by converting the existing intersection into a roundabout. Currently, SR 212/Browns Mill Road is a free flowing, two lane Urban Minor Arterial with two 12-foot travel lanes and right turn lanes at the intersection. The typical section near the intersection features a different shoulder along the north and south sides of the roadway. The north side consists of 4-foot shoulders (2-foot grassed and 2-foot paved), as well as a 2-foot ditch. The south side of the roadway consists of 9-foot urban shoulders (2.5-foot curb and gutter, 2-foot grassed shoulder, and 5-foot sidewalk). The typical section of CR 539/Salem Road consists of two 12- foot travel lanes, 3-foot rural shoulders, and a 2-foot ditch. It is a stop-controlled, two lane Urban Minor Arterial. The proposed roundabout would be left offset for slower entry speeds and would encompass 12-foot lanes, raised splitter islands, 30-inch curb and gutter, a 2-foot stamped colored concrete strips, and 5-foot sidewalks on all approaches. The approach from Salem Road to SR 212/Browns Mill Road westbound will include a 300-foot bypass lane that would extend just beyond Browns Mill Elementary School.
