Created in 1965, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is aninterstate, intercounty and intercity agency that provides continuing, comprehensiveand coordinated planning to shape a vision for the future growth of the Delaware Valleyregion. The region includes Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties, aswell as the City of Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania; and Burlington, Camden, Gloucesterand Mercer counties in New Jersey. DVRPC provides technical assistance andservices; conducts high priority studies that respond to the requests and demands ofmember state and local governments; fosters cooperation among various constituentsto forge a consensus on diverse regional issues; determines and meets the needs ofthe private sector; and practices public outreach efforts to promote two-waycommunication and public awareness of regional issues and the Commission.

Our logo is adapted from the official DVRPC seal, and is designed as a stylized imageof the Delaware Valley. The outer ring symbolizes the region as a whole, while thediagonal bar signifies the Delaware River. The two adjoining crescents represent theCommonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey.

DVRPC is funded by a variety of funding sources including federal grants from the U.S.Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and FederalTransit Administration (FTA), the Pennsylvania and New Jersey departments oftransportation, as well as by DVRPC’s state and local member governments.

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This document, prepared by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC)for the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJ DOT), presents an analysis of the US 130

Brooklawn Circles Area in Camden County. A study area location map is presented in Figure 1.A Year 2000 aerial photograph of the circles is presented in Figure 2. This effort, performed incooperation with the Borough of Brooklawn and NJ DOT, is intended to serve as the Concept

Development Report of NJ DOT’s Project Delivery Process. The primary activities of ConceptDevelopment include: collection of data, evaluation of deficiencies and coordination withstakeholders in the community and with NJ DOT’s core groups. Input into this analysis was also

solicited from local residents and businesses as well as surrounding municipalities. Federal, stateand local elected officials concerned about the safety, congestion and flooding problems that havelong been chronic problems at this location have requested that DVRPC and NJ DOT investigate

potential improvement scenarios. Documentation of their requests and support for improvementsin this area are presented in Appendix A.

Data was collected on the existing traffic operations and accident history occurring in thetwo circles along US 130 in Brooklawn and in the immediate vicinity on the approach roads. Apreliminary environmental screening was conducted to determine if sensitive uses (wetlands, floodplains, hazardous waste sites, parks, churches, schools or cemeteries) were located in the studyarea. Outreach to the public officials as well as to the general public was conducted and isdocumented within. A set of short range actions such as signing and stripping intended to becompleted quickly and without further study are presented. A range of improvement concepts toaddress the safety and congestion issues related to movements between the East Circle and CreekRoad are also presented. These improvement concepts should move forward to the FeasibilityAssessment Phase of NJ DOT’s Project Delivery Process for further study. Turns from the EastCircle to Creek Road are a primary cause of congestion and contribute to the accident history ofthe circle. The improvement concepts presented are intended to address the problems at thislocation and, together with the short range actions, are expected to greatly improve the overalloperations of the study area.

The traffic accidents and peak period congestion were identified as the primary problemsassociated with the circles. Other key issues included the difficulty making left turns from the EastCircle onto Creek Road, the low vertical clearance of the rail overpass, the flooding problems andcut through traffic using local streets.

II. PHYSICAL AND OPERATING CONDITIONS

Study Area Transportation Network

The study area runs in a generally north-south direction along the southwestern portion of

Camden County and into Gloucester County. The study area includes several major expresswayssuch as I-76 and I-295. However, the focal point of this study is aimed at US 130 and the twotraffic circles that are located in Brooklawn. At these traffic circles, several major roadways

converge, making this a highly traversed corridor. Besides US 130 that negotiates through bothof the traffic circles, NJ 47 emerges from the circle as well. Another major route in the vicinity ofthe circles is NJ 45. This route does not extend directly off the circle, however, it does originate

from US 130 as it enters Gloucester County. Each of these major routes has direct access to thebefore mentioned expressways of I-76 and I-295.

As one would travel along US 130 from north to south, the first traffic circle encounteredis the East Traffic Circle. This circle essentially has five legs that extend from it. US 130 accountsfor two of the legs as it both enters the circle from the north and exits to the south where it connects

to the West Traffic Circle. The other three legs of the east circle are Hannevig Avenue, NJ 47 andCreek Road. The West Traffic Circle has only three extensions, two of which are US 130. NewBroadway Avenue (CR 551) is the other roadway leading into the circle. Another important

feature of these traffic circles, is that a Conrail Railroad overpass intersects the section of US 130that connects the two circles. Figure 3 displays a schematic representation of each of the trafficcircles and their relation to each other. A more detailed description of both the East and West

Traffic Circles and their characteristics of each are cited in the following sections.

Roadway Configuration

East Traffic Circle

As previously mentioned the East Traffic Circle has five legs within its design. The firstleg is US 130 as it enters the circle from the north (Figure 4). North of the circle, southbound US

130 carries has three travel lanes that reduces to two lanes as it nears the circle. The speed limitalong US 130 is 45 miles per hour. Approaching the circle there is set of overhead flashing amber

lights that warn motorists of the circle. At the point where US 130 merges into the circle, aconcrete island helps to channel the vehicles into the circle. US 130 northbound has two departurelanes that exit the circle. A jersey barrier separates the northbound lanes from the southbound

lanes.

Once a vehicle enters the circle, the next entrance/exit to the circle is Hannevig Avenue. This isa local street that leads into a residential neighborhood. It contains one lane of traffic in each

direction (Figure 5). On street parking is also permitted along Hannevig Avenue. At the egressof the circle, there also is a concrete island that directs the traffic into the circle.

US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report Page 9

Figure 6: Looking Toward the West Circle along US 130 from the East Circle

US 130 exits the East Traffic Circle and connects to the West Circle by means of a two-lane road,with one lane of travel in each direction (Figure 6). Again, a concrete island is channeling trafficinto the circle. This section of US 130 is bridged by the Conrail Railroad. Approximately halfway

between the east and the west circles, a Conrail Railroad overpass bisects the roadway. When thisstudy initiated, New Jersey Department of Transportation had the height of the overpass signed at13’ 3", however it has recently been posted to 13’ 0".

Another leg entering the east circle is NJ 47. This route heads south from the circle and

carries two lanes of traffic in each direction. As with the other legs of the circle, a concrete islandis placed at the entrance of the circle. As NJ 47 heads south, the road heads up a slight incline

toward a bridge over Timber Creek (Figure 7). This section of NJ 47 is impacted by Creek Road,which contains only one travel lane in each direction. Although Creek Road does not directly enterthe east traffic circle, it does intersect with NJ 47 just east of the circle (Figure 8). Access to NJ

47 from Creek Road is controlled by a stop sign. Vehicles exiting Creek Road are only able tomake right turns as a concrete island prevents any left turns onto NJ 47. The result of making aright turn off of a Creek Road places them in the direction of the circle.

The land uses immediately adjacent to the east traffic circle play an important role in thecharacteristics of the circle. Commercial land uses surround the east circle. Many of these landuses tend to generate a significant amount of traffic in and out of their establishments on an

everyday basis. Figure 3 also presents a schematic of each of the land uses near the circle. Thefirst commercial property on the circle is a Rita’s Water Ice. This seasonal commercial propertyis located east of Hannevig Avenue. Rita’s has two curb cuts allowing access to the store. One

is placed along the approach to the circle, the other is located directly on the traffic circle. Anothercommercial property found along the circle is Brooklawn Diner. The diner is located west of Hannevig Avenue. One of the diner’s entrances has direct access to the traffic circle. The other

entry is on US 130 near the railroad overpass.

Moving around the circle, there is a Hess Gas Station situated between the railroad overpass

and NJ 47. The gas station has four different curb cuts allowing access into the station. Two ofthese entrances are directly on the circle, while the other two access US 130 and NJ 47respectively. At the intersection of Creek Road and NJ 47, there is a vacant lot that is currently

owned by the Borough of Brooklawn. Adjacent to this property is a lot owned by a pavingcompany which uses this lot to store equipment. Officials from the Borough have indicated thatthese lots may be developed for future commercial uses. The last commercial property along the

circle is an auto body repair shop. This is found between Creek Road and US 130 Northbound andaccess to the repair shop is allowed through four separate locations. The auto body shop has alarge parking lot associated with it, which is situated right at the apex of the circle between US 130

and Creek Road.

West Traffic Circle

The west traffic circle is not as complex as the east circle. This circle has three roads thatfeed into it. The first roadway is US 130 that connects the two circles. As previously mentioned

this segment of road travels underneath the 13-foot railroad overpass. This segment of road carriesone lane in each direction. A concrete island controls access into the circle channeling the trafficto the right. The next roadway that feeds into the west circle is New Broadway Avenue (CR 551).

This enters from the north and connects Gloucester City with the west traffic circle. Like each ofthe other roadway segments, access to the circle is channeled by a concrete island that prevents anytraffic from entering the circle and going the wrong direction. New Broadway Avenue is

comprised of two lanes with one lane approaching the circle and one lane departing. The last legof the circle is again US 130 that continues southbound toward the borough of Westville. Thissection of US 130 again becomes two lanes in each direction separated by a jersey barrier.

Page 12 US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report

The land use surrounding this circle is also relatively less when compared with the eastcircle. The one commercial property that generates trips to and from it is Verchio’s Farm Market.It is on the west side of the circle along New Broadway Avenue and US 130 southbound. There

are three entrances to the farm market. One at the point where New Broadway intersects with thecircle, and one at the point just before US 130. The last curb cut is along US 130 southbound.

Existing Traffic Volumes

In March 2000, NJDOT collected traffic volumes for this corridor. Traffic counts weretaken for each segment of roadway that enters and exits each of the traffic circles. The averageannual daily traffic (AADT) volumes are listed below in Table 1 and displayed on Figure 9.

Turning movement counts for the AM and PM peak period were also collected at the EastTraffic Circle in March 2000 and are presented in Figures 10 and 11. Vehicle classification countswere also taken at two locations at the same time as the traffic counts. Along Creek Road between

the East Traffic Circle and Old Salem Road, 89% of the vehicles were automobiles while theremaining 11% were trucks. Similar results occurred along New Broadway between the WestTraffic Circle and Towne Center Square where 93% of the vehicles were automobiles and the

remaining 7% were trucks.

Existing Level of Service Analysis

The concept of level of service is a qualitative measure describing operational conditions

within a traffic stream and their perception by motorists in terms of speed and travel time, trafficinterruptions, freedom to maneuver, comfort, and convenience. Six levels of service are defined;they are given letter designations, A to F, with level of service A representing the best operating

conditions and level of service F the worst. Level of service C is the minimum desirable condition;however, jurisdictions frequently tolerate level of service D when the cost to upgrade the highwayfacility becomes prohibitive. Methodology to determine level of service is presented in the

Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), Transportation Research Board Special Report 209. Differentmethodologies are specified for various types of facilities such as signalized intersections,unsignalized intersections, two lane roadways and freeways among others.

The NJ DOT Bureau of Traffic Engineering and Investigations offered to conduct the levelof service analysis for this effort. NJ DOT’s Bureau of Mobility Strategies and Bureau of Scope

Development concurred with this approach. In some instances, traffic circles, or roundabouts, canbe analyzed under the unsignalized intersection methodology. However, the geometrics of the EastCircle with the influence of the Creek Road leg could not be accurately simulated with the HCM

program. Traffic Engineering and Investigations attempted to analyze this location using theSIDRA program as well as with the Synchro 5 program. Neither of these programs couldaccurately simulate the conditions at this location.

The Bureau of Scope Development indicated that, since the project need had beensufficiently defined from a safety perspective and from personal observations, they would be

willing to accept the Concept Development Document without a level of service analysis providedit gets completed during the Feasibility Assessment phase. The Bureau of Scope Developmentindicated that they currently have a consultant on board which has access to other analysis tools

which can accurately simulate the geometrics and operations of this location. The level of serviceanalysis will be conducted during the Feasibility Assessment phase.

Accident History

Traffic accident reports were collected for a three year period from 1998 through 2000 fromthe Brooklawn Borough Police Department. During this period there were a total of 379 accidentsalong the Brooklawn Traffic Circles. However, for analytical purposes the accident data has been

divided into two sections. The first section deals with those accidents that occurred either withinthe East Traffic Circle or close to the circle, while the second section deals with those accidentsthat occurred along the West Traffic Circle.

East Traffic Circle

At the East Traffic Circle, 334 accidents occurred during this period. Figures 12, 13, and14 display each of the accidents on a collision diagrams for the years 1998, 1999, and 2000respectively. (Refer to APPENDIX B for a description of each individual accident). Most of the

accidents occurred during daylight hours. Approximately 47% of the accidents are associated withwet or icy road conditions. Automobiles were the most common vehicles involved in accidentswithin the East Circle with 81% of all accidents. Approximately 15% of the incidents involved

commercial trucks, while the remaining 4% of the incidents involved either buses, motorcycles orbicycles.

There were no fatalities among any of the 334 accidents, although the accidents didproduce forty-three injuries. In total, injuries occurred in only about 11% of the accidents. This

is probably due to the slower speeds that are required for the vehicles to be able to traverse throughthis circle. From 1998 to 2000, the number of accidents and injuries has been decreasing.However, the number of accidents at this location is relatively high with an accident rate during

this period of one accident every 3.28 days. Table 2 provides a breakdown by year for the numberof accidents, the injuries, and the type of accident that occurred.

Each accident can be classified into one of five categories. The most common type ofaccident is a sideswipe. This occurs when two vehicles traveling in the same direction, collide intoeach other on their sides. At the East Traffic Circle, approximately 31.1% of the accidents were

sideswipes. The second category is a front-to rear-end collision, which entails the front of onevehicle crashing into the rear of another vehicle. At this circle, 27.2% of the accidents were front-to rear-end collisions.

The third type of accident is a vehicle striking a concrete island that channels the vehiclesinto the circle. The location for these accidents occurs along southbound on US 130 entering the

East Circle (Figure 15). As vehicles approach the circle, they may be moving at a high rate ofspeed and are unable to make the right turn into the circle. During this three-year period 73accidents (21.9%) are related to striking this island. It should be noted that of these 73 accidents,

62 (84.9%) of them occurred while the road conditions were wet.

US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report Page 27

The fourth type of accident is an angle accident. These may occur in several different ways.It may happen when one vehicle is attempting to exit the circle while another vehicle is continuingaround and the first vehicle cuts the second off. These may also occur when one car is attempting

to enter the circle from either one of the various legs of the circle or out a driveway of an adjacentbusiness located of on the circle. It is then struck by another vehicle that is already within thecircle. Approximately 15% of the accidents fall under this category. The remainder of accidents

are categorized under miscellaneous and consists of only 5% of the total accidents. An exampleof this type of accidents may be vehicles entering the circle at a high rate of speed and are unableto make the turn and drive straight into the center of the circle.

As previously stated, most of the accidents happen in the daylight hours with a largeconcentration of the accidents occurring during the peak periods. Approximately 18% of the

accidents happened between in the morning peak hours of 6 - 9 a.m. while 27% happened in theevening peak hours of 4 - 7 p.m.

West Traffic Circle

Unlike the East Traffic Circle that had a high number of incidents, the West Traffic Circle

only had 45 accidents during the same three year period of 1998 through 2000. Figure 16 displayseach accident and its location along the West Circle (Refer to APPENDIX B for a description ofeach individual accident.). None of the accidents during this time period were fatal and only four

injuries were reported. Table 3 provides a breakdown by year for the number of accidents, theinjuries, and the type of accident.

TOTAL 45 11 0 17 13 12 3

The accidents that occurred at the West Traffic Circle are very similar to those thathappened at the East Circle. These include sideswipes, front-to rear-end collisions, and angle

Page 38: US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report€¦ · cooperation with the Borough of Brooklawn and NJ DOT, is intended to serve as the Concept Development Report of NJ DOT’s

Page 28 US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report

accidents. The most common type of accident at the West Circle was a sideswipe making upapproximately 38% of the total accidents in this circle. Angle accidents comprise 29% of the totalaccidents with most of these incidents involving a car either entering or exiting the farm market.

Front to rear-end collisions totaled 27% of the accidents and these generally happened while eitherone automobile stopped before entering into the circle and was struck from behind or when onevehicle, already within the circle, slowed down to allow another car to enter the circle and was

struck from behind. Accidents along the West Traffic Circle mostly happen during the day with more than 38%

of the accidents occurred in the evening peak hours of 4 - 7 p.m., and approximately 13% of the

accidents happened in the morning peak hours of 6 - 9 a.m. Nineteen of the forty-five accidentsoccurred when the road conditions were wet or icy.

Other Transportation Resources

Transit Availability

This study area, and particularly the traffic circles, is served by five regularly scheduled

New Jersey Transit bus routes that provide both local and peak period express service to and fromthe surrounding region. The bus routes that travel within the traffic circles are 401, 402, 408, 410,412 and serve points between Philadelphia/Camden and Woodbury, Salem, Pennsville, Millville,

Bridgeton and Glasboro respectively. These bus routes generally run from 5:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.and produce approximately 150 trips through the traffic circles each day.

Freight Railroad

Within the study area there is a freight rail line that divides the east and the west traffic

circles. Following the purchase and division of Conrail, the railroad that divides the two trafficcircles was designated as a shared asset area. This means that the railroad is owned, operated andmaintained by a terminal railroad (called Conrail) for the exclusive benefit of CSX and Norfolk

Southern Railroads. However, for long-term capital improvements and track maintenanceexpenditures, CSX and Norfolk Southern will have ultimate responsibility, with costs beingdistributed based on usage. Currently on this 8.8 mile section of shared asset track, which runs

from Camden to Woodbury, there are two trains per day.

Demographics

The study area municipalities, like many older boroughs and townships in the region that

developed rapidly following World War II, face challenges to their fiscal and socioeconomicstability. These ’first generation suburbs’ are experiencing population and job loss, increased socialneeds and limited tax base to finance services. The population of the study area has been in decline

and this trend is expected to continue through the Year 2025. The US Census for the year 2000indicated a population of 29,600 for the four municipalities in the study area. This represents adecrease of 6.4 percent from 1990. Of the four municipalities, only Brooklawn experienced an

increase in population during that decade. The DVRPC Year 2025 municipal population forecastsproject the loss of another 3,840 people from the study area; a decrease of 13.0 percent (Table 4).During this time period, only Westville is expected to experience an increase in population.

Losses in the study area’s employment are expected to be less than the losses in population.

DVRPC estimates for the Year 2000 projected a 3.7 percent loss of jobs during the 90's. This trendis expected to continue as the DVRPC Year 2025 forecasts project a 17.5 percent decrease inemployment for the study area (Table 5). Only Brooklawn and Bellmawr are expected to

experience a slight increase in employment by 2025. However this will be offset by the largerloses projected for Gloucester City and Westville.

Future Traffic Volumes

Traffic demand projections for the year 2025 were estimated using the DVRPC RegionalTravel Simulation Model. Trip generation and traffic flow patterns are driven by demographic datawhile the assignment of traffic to particular roads is a function of the highway network; thus

changes to land development patterns or the highway network are reflected in the model’s output.The model is based on the standard four step transportation planning process: 1) trip generation,2) trip distribution, 3) modal split and 4) traffic assignment. Table 6 lists projected volumes for

selected segments of roadways adjacent to the East Circle.

Consistent with the study area’s projected decrease in population and employment, the

traffic volumes forecast for the roadways adjacent to the circles are also expected to decreaseslightly . Losses in population and employment equate to less activity and fewer trips generatedwithin the study area. The highway network assumed to be in place in the 2025 simulation

includes a significant change just outside the study area that is also expected to have a decreasingeffect on the traffic flow through this area. The I-295/I-76/NJ 42 interchange currently does notprovide a connection from I-295 northbound to NJ 42 southbound nor the reverse direction of NJ

42 northbound to I-295 southbound. NJ DOT is currently studying the potential of including thesemissing movements into the interchange as well as a complete redesign and reconstruction of theI-295/I-76/NJ 42 interchange. These improvements are assumed to be completed by 2025 and

Page 43: US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report€¦ · cooperation with the Borough of Brooklawn and NJ DOT, is intended to serve as the Concept Development Report of NJ DOT’s

therefore have been included in the future highway network. It is expected that they will drawsome traffic off of US 130 within the study area.

Based on the projected future traffic volumes, AM and PM peak hour turning movements were alsocalculated for 2025. These are presented in Figures 17 and 18.

Future Level of Service

After discussions with NJ DOT’s Bureau of Project Scope Development, a level of serviceanalysis for the Year 2025 was considered unnecessary for this report due to the fact that the trafficvolumes forecast for the East Circle and the approach roads are expected to be less than the

existing volumes. Therefore, the current operations of the East Circle are expected to be the worstcase of the two scenarios.

Environmental Screening

A top level environmental screening has been conducted to determine the occurrence of

potentially environmentally sensitive sites. Other cultural features such as schools, churches and

Page 44: US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report€¦ · cooperation with the Borough of Brooklawn and NJ DOT, is intended to serve as the Concept Development Report of NJ DOT’s

Page 34 US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report

parks/recreation areas were also identified as sensitive cultural features within the vicinity of thetraffic circles and impact to them must be considered when identifying any potential roadwayimprovements in the area. Within the study area surrounding the traffic circles, several types of

sensitive features have been identified and are displayed in Figure 19. Any potential improvementconcepts must take into consideration that both of the circles are near designated wetlands. Also,both of the circles fall within the 100-year flood plain. None of the churches, schools or parks

identified in the study area are directly adjacent to the circles.

Contaminated Sites

New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s (NJ DEP) database of knowncontaminated sites was reviewed to determine if any of these sites were present in the study area.This database identifies sites where contamination of soil or ground water has been confirmed and

includes sites where remediation is either under way or is required but not yet initiated. Thedatabase was queried for sites within the study area. Table 7 lists those which fall within 2,000 feetof the circles. The data is current as of 2001. Because of the scale of the map, only two of the sites

are displayed on Figure 19. In those cases where the precise location could not be identified thesite location is not approximated due to the sensitive nature of the material. However, a siteaddress is provided in the table.

Additional environmental sources were also examined to determine the existence of otherpotentially hazardous or contaminated sites. Sites from the Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability Information System (CERCLIS) database were plotted todetermine their locations in relation to the Circles. These sites are the US EnvironmentalProtection Agency’s (US EPA) Superfund Sites and the program is administered in cooperation

with the individual states. A dataset of points representing the location of brownfield sites asidentified by NJ DEP’s Site Remediation Program was also reviewed. Brownfields are abandoned,idled or under-used industrial and commercial facilities where expansion or redevelopment is

complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination. The US EPA’s Toxic ReleaseInventory (TRI) was also reviewed. The TRI is a source of information about releases of more than650 toxic chemicals from manufacturing facilities throughout the US. Information on the location

of solid waste landfills was also examined. Although there are occurrences in the surroundingmunicipalities, none of these types of sites are located in Brooklawn or in the vicinity of the circles.

III. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION

DVRPC formed a working group of representatives from several local municipalities,Camden County, state legislators’ offices and New Jersey DOT to discuss the operations of thecircles and document their concerns and issues. Problems were also identified and substantiated

through the collection and analysis of accident and turning movement data. In addition, DVRPChosted a Public Information Center at the Brooklawn Senior Citizen Center to provide anopportunity for the residents and businesses in the community to discuss their needs and any

problems related to their travel through the circles. A set of potential improvement concepts waspresented at the Public Information Center and attendees were asked to comment on them.

Although the Circles are wholly located in the Borough of Brooklawn, their proximity tothe surrounding municipalities (Borough of Westville, Borough of Bellmawr and Gloucester City)results in many of those municipalities’ residents traveling through the circles on a daily basis. The

circles impact each municipality, business and resident differently, however there are severalrecurring themes that were identified.

Working Group Concerns

Borough of Brooklawn

Traffic accidents in the Circles, primarily in the East Circle, were a significant concern of

the borough representatives. The accident analyses presented in an earlier section of this reportsupport that concern as they document the reoccurrence of specific accident patterns. Severe peakperiod congestion, especially in the PM peak, was also identified as a problem. This congestion

has an impact on the accidents at this location since a significant number of accidents are rear-endtype accidents. This type of accident is frequently associated with congested conditions. Someof the congestion in this vicinity (Figure 20) can be linked to a decrease in speeds which results

from several factors such as; the reduction in capacity from three travel lanes to two on thesouthbound US 130 approach to the East Circle, the merging and weaving movements through thecircles and the availability of only one lane in each direction between the two circles.

The low clearance at the railroad overpass was also mentioned as an important issue facing

Page 42 US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report

trucks that pass through the circles (Figure 21). It is not uncommon for trucks to get stuck underor hit the overpass. Some trucks, although eventually able to pass under the railroad bridge, stop

Page 53: US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report€¦ · cooperation with the Borough of Brooklawn and NJ DOT, is intended to serve as the Concept Development Report of NJ DOT’s

US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report Page 43

Figure 22: Looking Toward the West Circle along US 130 from the East Circle

as they approach. The drivers get out of their vehicles, step into the roadway and visually observehow much clearance the truck has under the bridge. This backs-up traffic behind the truck andcreates a safety problem as the driver walks around in the roadway.

Chronic flooding problems under the railroad overpass were also mentioned as an importantconcern (Figure 22). However the representatives of the borough felt that the frequency and

severity of flooding in the vicinity of the circles has decreased since the installation of a tide flexvalve in the drainage system.

Borough representatives identified a problem with cut-through traffic using local streets tobypass the congested conditions on southbound US 130 primarily in the PM peak period. In aneffort to avoid the traffic backed-up on southbound US 130, some motorists will turn right from

southbound US 130 onto Browning Road and travel westbound to Hannevig Avenue. They willthen turn left onto Hannevig Avenue and access the circle adjacent to the Brooklawn Diner. Thispass -through movement adds unwanted traffic to residential streets in the borough. In an effort

to limit some of this pass-through traffic, No Right Turns 4PM - 6PM signs have been erected onUS 130 at the intersections with Horton Avenue, Nanssen Avenue, Haakon Avenue and

Page 44 US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report

Figure 23: Vehicles Turning from the East Circle onto Creek Road

Community Road which prohibits traffic from turning from US 130 into the residential areasduring the PM Peak period.

Two undeveloped parcels located along the northbound side of NJ 47 between Creek Roadand the Big Timber Creek present an opportunity for commercial development. Borough officialsindicated that safe and convenient access to this site is important to its economic viability. The

borough would like to see commercial activity take place on this site.

Borough of Bellmawr

The primary issue effecting the Borough of Bellmawr is the access to Creek Road from theEast Circle (Figures 23 and 24). This is a particularly difficult and dangerous movement. Traffic

must exit the circle by bearing right onto RT 47 and make an immediate left turn onto Creek Road.What makes this movement so difficult is the weaving movement from the circle onto RT 47 andthen to Creek Road compounded by the fact that there is no dedicated left turn lane and there is no

stacking room for vehicles to queue up for the left turn. As indicated by the accident analysis, anumber of rear end and sideswipe accidents took place at this location.

The low clearance and flooding problems under the railroad overpass were also mentionedas important concerns.

US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report Page 45

Figure 24: Looking at NJ 47 / Creek Road Intersection from the East Circle

Gloucester City

Like Brooklawn, the Gloucester City representatives identified the low clearance of the rail

overpass, severe peak period congestion, and traffic accidents in the Circles as their significantconcerns.

The low clearance of the rail overpass is a primary concern since it has a direct impact onthe redevelopment of the Gloucester City waterfront area. Gloucester City officials have haddiscussions about building a container facility at the southern end of the City. The Borough is

promoting this facility as a hub in the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s Port InlandDistribution Network (PIDN). Through the PIDN plan, the capacity of the Port of NY and NJwould be maximized by transshipping incoming containers out of the port as quickly as possible

by barge and rail to a network of regional distribution centers. The regional distribution centerswould then move those containers out by truck or rail to east coast destinations. If a GloucesterCity facility does become a hub in the PIDN, it would mean a significant increase in truck traffic

in the area, however, the rail overpass may prove to be a constraint to the success of this project.

Page 46 US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report

Borough of Westville

The severe PM peak period congestion southbound on US 130 and AM peak period

congestion northbound on US 130 were cited as significant concerns for the operations of thislocation. Like others, the flooding problems under the railroad overpass were also identified.

Data Analysis

Based on analyses of the accident data and turning movement counts, the primary problemsassociated with the circles are clearly illustrated. The highest accident location in the vicinity ofthe circles occurs at the concrete island which channelizes southbound US 130 traffic into the East

Circle. The accident analysis indicates that there were 71 accidents at this location over the lastthree years. At this location, approaching vehicles must slow down and negotiate a curve to enterinto the circle. The concrete island is frequently obstructed by downstream vehicles. This limits

the visibility of the island and leads to many of the accidents at the island. Another contributingfactor to the accidents at this location is wet roadway conditions. 89% of the accidents involvingthe concrete island occurred with wet roadway conditions.

The most common type of accident occurring within the circles are sideswipe accidentswith a much higher number occurring in the East Circle than in the West Circle. This type of

accident is spread throughout the circles; there isn’t one location which dominates in sideswipeaccidents. The merging and weaving movements throughout the circles contribute to this type ofaccident. These movements lead to driver uncertainty about where to position their vehicles as

they travel through the circle.

Congestion is the other primary problem identified for the East Circle. There are two key

locations where geometrics and traffic flow create critical conflict points and result in congestedconditions. The most problematic location is in the vicinity of Creek Road. The problems stemfrom the movement which takes traffic from the circle across NJ 47 and onto Creek Road. This

movement requires vehicles to exit the circle by making a right turn into the left lane ofsouthbound NJ 47 and an immediate left turn onto Creek Road. NJ 47 carries two travel lanes ineach direction at this location. There is no left turn stacking lane to accommodate movements to

Creek Road.

Page 57: US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report€¦ · cooperation with the Borough of Brooklawn and NJ DOT, is intended to serve as the Concept Development Report of NJ DOT’s

US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report Page 47

Traffic counts conducted in March 2000, indicated 167 vehicles made this left turn duringthe AM peak hour against an opposing flow of 1,228 vehicles on northbound NJ 47. 351 vehiclesmade this turn during the PM peak hour against an opposing flow of 510 vehicles on northbound

NJ 47. Left turning traffic frequently queues up while waiting for gaps in the northbound NJ 47traffic. Because of the proximity of Creek Road to the circle, these queues typically spill back intothe circle and obstruct traffic trying to proceed through the circle. Queues as short as two vehicles

can begin to create disruptions of the flow of traffic around the circle. Queues from this locationwere observed blocking access around the circle and creating gridlock conditions. In addition tothe gridlock conditions, safety problems also arise from this situation as evidenced by the accident

analysis. Numerous rear-end and side swipe accidents can be attributed to the queues emanatingfrom this location. The problems at this specific location have a particularly negative effect on theoperations of the entire East Circle.

The other key location in which geometrics and traffic flow create a critical conflict pointin the East Circle is where traffic moving around the circle must merge with traffic entering the

circle from southbound US 130. Because of the higher speeds of the traffic on southbound US 130and the lack of yield signs or other traffic control, vehicles in the circle typically stop until thereare sufficient gaps in the southbound US 130 traffic to proceed. This causes queuing in the circle

which can impact other movements into and out of the circle. According to PM peak traffic countstaken in March 2000, 385 vehicles in the circle needed to find gaps in the 2,295 vehiclesapproaching the circle on southbound US 130. The problem is not as severe in the AM peak, when

counts indicated that 418 vehicles in the circle needed to find gaps in the 665 vehicles approachingthe circle on southbound US 130.

There are no other critical conflict points in the East Circle which cause noticeablecongestion or safety problems. Traffic operations in the West Circle are much better primarily dueto several key factors: 1) traffic volumes are lower, 2) adjacent development with access onto the

circle is limited to one business, 3) the number of conflict points within the circle are less since thecircle has only three legs and 4) traffic on one of the approach legs into the circle is currentlycontrolled by a yield sign.

Public Information Center

On September 5th, 2001, DVRPC hosted a Public Information Center at the Brooklawn

Page 58: US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report€¦ · cooperation with the Borough of Brooklawn and NJ DOT, is intended to serve as the Concept Development Report of NJ DOT’s

Page 48 US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report

Senior Citizen Center. The purpose of this meeting was to provide an opportunity for the generalpublic and local businesses to assist in identifying traffic problems associated with the circles.Attendees were also given an opportunity to express their opinions on a set of potential

improvement concepts developed by DVRPC. In addition to DVRPC staff, NJ DOT, CamdenCounty and Brooklawn Borough were all represented.

Outreach and notification for the meeting was conducted by DVRPC staff. Aninformational flier was produced and distributed as part of this process (a copy of the flier isprovided in Appendix C). Over 75 fliers were sent out to residents, local business, municipal

libraries and elected officials. All property owners within 200 feet of the East Circle were notifiedabout the Public Information Center. DVRPC public affairs staff personally visited several localbusinesses which agreed to post the fliers in their establishments.

There were 6 stations set up in the public information center for the attendees to pick upinformation and to provide input. At the first station, attendees were asked to sign-in (a copy of

the sign in sheet is provided in Appendix C). NJDOT’s Project Delivery Process was presentedat Station 2. In addition to a graphic display board, an 8½ by 11 graphic of the process wasdistributed. It was stressed that this project is currently in the Concept Development Stage. A

video tape of traffic movements within the East Traffic Circle was played at the third station. Thefourth station presented roadway configuration diagrams, aerial photographs and several pictureshighlighting the key issues at various points along the East Traffic Circle. Station 5 presented the

accident analysis for a three year period from 1998 to 2000 with collision diagrams and a tabledisplaying a summary of the accident data. The last station exhibited a set of potentialimprovement concepts which have been developed to address the problematic movements between

the East Circle and Creek Road. These concepts are presented in detail in the next section of thisreport. Conceptual diagrams were presented for six alternative improvement concepts for reviewby the attendees. In addition to the concepts to improve the movements between the East Circle

and Creek Road, attendees were also shown a set of short range safety and operationalimprovements and were asked to comment on them. These short range improvements are alsopresented in detail in the next section of this report. The improvement concepts along with

comments offered at the public information center are being forwarded to the New JerseyDepartment of Transportation as part of this report for further analysis.

US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report Page 49

IV. NEXT STEPS

This section of the report presents a series of next steps to advance some improvementconcepts which are aimed at addressing operational and safety problems in the vicinity of the

circles while being cognizant of the concerns of the communities. The improvement conceptspresented in this document have been categorized as either short range or mid range. Long rangeimprovement concepts should only be pursued if the implemented set of short and mid range

improvements are evaluated and determined to be ineffective. A short range improvement istypically considered to be a lower cost operational/safety improvement which can be completedwith little lead time and no additional major studies. These improvements are expected to be able

to be completed primarily through NJ DOT maintenance activities. The mid range concepts focusprimarily on the safety and operational issues related to the movements between the East Circleand Creek Road. The problems at this specific location have a particularly negative effect on the

operations of the entire East Circle. Traffic queued up at this location frequently spills back intothe circle and can create disruptions in the traffic flow for all movements. A mid rangeimprovement requires additional studies and technical analysis, has a higher capital cost, may

require the acquisition of right-of-way and construction of new infrastructure.

By correcting these short range and mid range problems, the most important safety and

operational issues associated with the circles will be addressed.

Short Range

Signing and Markings

A short term recommendation that is expected to improve safety in the circles and vicinityis the installation of additional signing and markings. The most common accident pattern isvehicles striking the concrete island on the southbound US 130 approach to the East Circle (Figure

25). It is recommended that flexible object markers called flexiposts be installed on the approachto the circle and the concrete island to increase its visibility and direct traffic into the circle. Theseare four inch wide flexible strips approximately four feet high. They should be placed

approximately 10 feet apart from the end of the island to the Jersey barrier. This spacing will notobstruct any views of on- coming traffic in the circle.

To warn motorists on southbound US 130 of the approaching circle, a circle warning sign

Page 60: US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report€¦ · cooperation with the Borough of Brooklawn and NJ DOT, is intended to serve as the Concept Development Report of NJ DOT’s

Page 50 US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report

Figure 25: Looking at Concrete Island at US 130 at the East Circle

with flashers should be installed on US 130 near Haakon Avenue. This should be a cantilever signover the roadway with 8 inch flashers that reads “Circle Ahead 1200 ft”. This structure should besupplemented with a sign over the right lane that reads “Lane Ends Merge Right 300 Feet”. In

addition to these signs, epoxy rumble strips should be installed laterally across the roadway onsouthbound US 130. These advance warning signs and rumble strips will alert motorists of thechanging conditions ahead and prepare them to take appropriate actions.

To reduce the impact of the Conrail bridge on the movements between the circles, a signingplan should be developed in the area which identifies the clearance of the railroad overpass as 13'

0" and identifies an alternate route for over-height vehicles. As a result of reviewing the initialdraft of this report, NJ DOT has initiated a concept signing plan which redirects over-heightvehicles away from this low clearance overpass. Figures 26 and 27 illustrate this potential plan.

The exact sign locations and dimensions still need to be determined, however, the conceptidentifies the alternative route as follows: southbound over-height vehicles on US 130 will benotified of the low clearance approximately one mile in advance and directed to use CR 551. As

vehicles proceed southbound on CR 551,south of the East Circle, they will encounter severaltrailblazer signs directing them to south I-295 and US 130. At Park Avenue in Woodbury, thealternate route will turn right and head north on NJ 45. The route will follow NJ 45 to Hessian

Avenue (CR 642) where it will turn left onto Hessian Avenue and go to the Academy Street rampsto southbound I-295 and US 130.

In the reverse direction, overheight vehicles on northbound US 130 will be warned of the

US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report Page 51

Figure 28: Looking at US 130 Northbound Traffic Merge into the East Circle

low clearance approximately one mile in advance of the Conrail bridge and directed to use the

alternate route if continuing on US 130 north. Signs posted on northbound US 130 south of RiverRoad will direct trucks over 13’ 0" headed to US 130 north to turn right onto River Road. Atrailblazer sign will direct trucks to turn left from River Road to NJ 47 and enter the East Circle

to proceed on US 130 northbound.

Advance signing on northbound NJ 47 for Creek Road and for the East Circle should be

added. NJ 47 approaches the East Circle on a downgrade from the bridge over the Big TimberCreek. The Creek Road intersection is immediately adjacent to the circle which causes confusionfor drivers attempting to turn into or out of Creek Road.

A significant contributing factor to accidents in the East Circle is related to the weavingmovements and positioning of vehicles as they proceed around the circle (Figure 28). This is

evidenced by the number of side swipe, angle and rear end accidents documented in the circle.Observations of traffic operations within the circle makes it clear that motorists are unsure aboutwhere to position their vehicles within the circle. NJ DOT should investigate the possibility of

providing dashed lane lines around the circle to assist in designating the proper positioning forvehicles in the circle.

Metering of Traffic

As stated in the previous chapter, two critical conflict points are responsible for the majorityof the congestion in the East Circle. These conflicts (the left turns onto Creek Road and the circle

traffic merging with southbound US 130 traffic) are created because there are insufficient gaps inthe traffic flow to accommodate the turns/merges. A short range solution to this problem wouldbe to provide gaps in the traffic flow on the southbound US 130 approach and on the northbound

NJ 47 approach.

There are potentially two ways to do this. The first would be to add a gap phase to the

signal timing of the existing traffic signals adjacent to the circle. This could be done quickly andeasily by NJ DOT staff with no capital cost. North of the circle, US 130 intersects Kings Highway(CR 551 spur) at a signalized intersection. This traffic signal is approximately 1,550 feet from the

circle. South of the circle, NJ 47 intersects Broadway Avenue (CR 551) at a signalizedintersection. This traffic signal is approximately 1,500 feet from the circle. These signals appearto an appropriate distance from the circle to provide gaps in the platoons of traffic approaching the

circle. However, adding a gap phase reduces the percentage of green time available to push trafficthrough the intersections and could potentially increase congestion at these intersections.

The second way to provide gaps in the traffic flow is to install metering signals on thesouthbound US 130 approach and on the northbound NJ 47 approach. Appropriate locations wouldhave to be identified and new metering signals would have to be installed. There would be a

capital cost associated with this improvement for the procurement and installation of the newequipment. However, the benefit is that it does not effect the operations of the existing signalizedintersections.

The appropriate strategy should be to try the addition of the gap phase at the existingsignals first and assess whether it improves the conflict points at the circle. If it improves the

operations of the circle, but degrades the operations at the signalized intersections, NJ DOT shouldmove forward on the installation of the metering signals.

Resurfacing

Another significant contributing factor to accidents in the East Circle is wet roadway

conditions. Half of all accidents that occurred in the East Circle during the analysis period

Page 56 US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report

occurred during wet conditions. Typically, when a road surface becomes worn down it can become

slick in wet weather. In May of 2000, NJ DOT’s Pavement Management Unit conducted skidresistance testing on US 130 (mp 25.15 to mp 26.10) and NJ 47 (mp 74.75 to mp 75.00). Theresults of this testing can be found in Appendix D. These locations should be considered for

surface treatment.

Mid Range

Creek Road Connection

A significant number of vehicles using the East Circle continue their trip onto Creek Road.The left turns from the East Circle onto Creek Road are problematic and this site experiencesnumerous accidents. Eliminating the turns into and out of Creek Road at this point would reduce

the number of accidents in this area. However, an alternate access would need to be provided toallow for a connection to Creek Road. In light of the fact that the Borough would like to seecommercial development on the vacant parcel at NJ 47 and Creek Road, access to this area is of

particular concern. In looking at the land uses and road network adjacent to the circle, it wasobserved that there may be other possibilities to make the connection between Creek Road and US130. Several potential concepts for a connection to Creek Road are provided below. These

concepts have been reviewed with Brooklawn Borough representatives and discussed with thegeneral public at a Public Information Center. NJ DOT should use this set of potentialimprovements as the basis for Feasibility Assessment. Documentation in support of advancing

improvements at this location is presented in Appendix A.

Alternative 1 - Under this alternative, (Figure 29) left turns from southbound NJ 47 to

Creek Road (167 existing AM Peak vehicles, 351 existing PM Peak vehicles) would be eliminatedby installing a median barrier along NJ 47 from the East Circle to a point south of Creek Road .Traffic from the East Circle destined to Creek Road would proceed around the circle to US 130

northbound and turn right onto an improved Old Salem Road (Figure 30). This alternativeproposes to upgrade Old Salem Road. Parts of the Old Salem Road right of way currently functionas a roadway while other sections appear to have been incorporated into a parking lot (Figures 31

and 32). However, this potential connection should be looked at in more depth. This roadwayintersects Creek Road approximately 700 feet south of its current intersection with NJ 47/EastCircle. It also currently provides access to US 130 northbound approximately 700 feet north of the

East Circle next to the miniature golf course. This movement would require additional signing to

direct motorists through the maneuvers. Traffic from Creek Road to US 130 northbound would notbe required to go through the circle (51 existing AM Peak vehicles, 57 existing PM Peak vehicles).Right turn traffic from Creek Road into the circle and destined to Hannevig Avenue, US 130

southbound or NJ 47 would continue to be permitted.

Alternative 2A - Under this alternative, (Figure 33) left turns from southbound NJ 47 to

Creek Road would continue to be eliminated by a new median barrier along NJ 47. Right turnsfrom Creek Road into the circle would also be eliminated by closing off the Creek Road approachto the circle. Right turns from northbound NJ 47 to Creek Road would continue to be permitted.

Traffic from the East Circle destined to Creek Road would proceed around the circle to US 130northbound and turn right onto an improved Old Salem Road. Traffic from Creek Road to US 130northbound would not be required to go through the circle. Traffic from Creek Road destined to

Hannevig Avenue, US 130 southbound or NJ 47 would be required to use the upgraded SalemRoad to US 130 northbound then make a U-turn at the Kings Highway jughandle to proceedsouthbound on US 130. This accounts for 77% of the AM Peak westbound Creek Road traffic (177

vehicles) and 83% of the PM Peak westbound Creek Road traffic (271 vehicles).

US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report Page 61

Figure 35: Nansen Avenue Looking South Toward US 130

Alternative 2B - As in the previous alternative, left turns from southbound NJ 47 to Creek

Road would continue to be eliminated by a new median barrier along NJ 47, right turns from CreekRoad into the circle would also be eliminated by closing off the Creek Road approach to the circleand right turns from northbound NJ 47 to Creek Road would continue to be permitted (Figure 34).

Traffic between Creek Road and US 130 would use an improved Old Salem Road. However, amedian break and traffic signal on US 130 at Old Salem Road/Nansen Avenue would permit accessfrom Creek Road/Old Salem Road to US 130 southbound. A concrete island on Nansen Avenue

would permit right turns in and right turns out from/to US 130 southbound while preventingthrough traffic from Old Salem Road into Nansen Avenue (Figure 35).

Alternative 2C - This alternative is very similar to Alternative 2B. The only difference

is that the concrete island on Nansen Avenue has been removed and through traffic betweenNansen Avenue and Old Salem Road is permitted (Figure 36).

Page 64 US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report

Figure 39: Looking South Across Bowling Alley Parking Lot Toward Creek Road

Alternative 2D - This alternative takes Alternative 2C one step further by providing left

turn lanes on US 130 in both directions (Figure 37). This alternative would reduce the trafficvolume in the circle by allowing US 130 southbound traffic headed to Creek Road (95 existing AMPeak vehicles, 267 existing PM Peak vehicles) to bypass the circle by using Old Salem Road.

Creek Road traffic headed to US 130 northbound would also be able to bypass the circle, as is alsothe case in Alternatives 1 through 2D. Completion of this alternative is expected to require theacquisition of additional right-of-way along US 130.

Alternative 3 - proposes to relocate the Creek Road intersection to the north so that it

intersects directly into the East Circle and not onto NJ 47 (Figure 38). This would eliminate the

left turns from the East Circle onto Creek Road by converting that movement into a right turn. Thearea that would be needed for the approach road and a newly created intersection between CreekRoad and the East Circle is currently used as a parking area for a bowling alley (Figures 39 and 40)

Figure 40: Looking North Across Bowling Alley Parking Lot Toward the East Circle

and a parking area for the auto body repair shop (Figures 41 and 42) located along the circle. A

potential problem for this alternative is that it creates a new access point onto the circle and couldcreate a weaving problem because of its proximity to NJ 47. However, metering of the NJ 47northbound traffic into the circle may reduce much of these weaving movements. Under this

alternative, Old Salem Road would not be improved. This alternative would provide the shortestaccess from the circle to the potential future commercial site.

US 130 Brooklawn Circles Concept Development Report Page C-3

On September 5th, 2001, DVRPC hosted a Public Information Center at the BrooklawnSenior Citizen Center. The purpose of this meeting was to provide an opportunity for the

general public and local businesses to assist in identifying traffic problems associated with thecircles. Attendees were also given an opportunity to express their opinions on a set of potentialimprovement concepts developed by DVRPC. In addition to DVRPC staff, NJ DOT, Camden

County and Brooklawn Borough were all represented. An informational flier was produced anddistributed as part of this process. A copy of this flier is provided in this Appendix. A copy ofthe sign-in sheet is also provided in this Appendix.

Handouts were distributed to the attendees to provide some description on the set ofpotential conceptual improvements. The handouts also included a comment sheet which the

attendees were asked to fill out and return. A limited number of comment sheets were returned. The following is a summary of the public comments offered at the meeting. Concerning thepotential quick-fix safety and operational improvements, all were positively received. The only

negative comment was that the flexible object markers were not perceived as having the abilityto help slow down traffic on southbound US 130.

Although no improvement alternative had more than four written comments, there wasconsiderable discussion about each alternative among the attendees. Alternatives 1, 2a, 2c and2d each had two votes for acceptable and two votes for unacceptable in respect to addressing

problems encountered by the movements between the East Circle and Creek Road. Alternatives 2b and 3 each had three votes for acceptable and one vote for unacceptable.
