Lake Underhill Rd. and University Blvd. Transportation Systems Management Study

Overview

Orange County has initiated a ten-month study to evaluate the flow of traffic on two east-west facilities in East Orange County -- Lake Underhill Road (from Conway Road to Dean Road) and University Boulevard (from Semoran Boulevard to Alafaya Trail). These roadways are physically constrained, and cannot be widened to accommodate additional traffic; therefore, County staff must identify other alternative improvements, such as introducing new turn lanes, optimizing traffic signal efficiency, and median or access management modification to better manage the safety, efficiency and traffic flow of these facilities. These types of improvements are known as Transportation Systems Management (TSM) strategies.

Background & Purpose

Enlarge

The Lake Underhill Road and University Boulevard Transportation Systems Management (TSM) Study is a project that resulted from the list of needs identified by Orange County residents in the East Orange County Transportation Needs Study, which was completed in 1997. TSM strategies involve short-term, low cost improvements which are used to better manage the safety, efficiency and traffic flow of transportation facilities within existing County rights-of-way.

Examples of TSM strategies may include:

Adding or lengthening turn lanes at intersections.
Optimizing and coordinating traffic signals.
Median or access management modifications.

TSM improvements will be supplemented by additional transportation improvement projects in the area that are included in the County's Five-Year Capital Improvement Program and the Long-Range Transportation Plan.
