Typically the City will only put striping on roads that meet criteria in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Because Washington Street does not meet these criteria (it is essentially a residential street) it would not qualify for striping. There is also not an accident history here that would justify a special case. Drivers do wander over the midpoint sometimes on this road, but staying to the right and keeping to the 35 mph speed limit should keep the road safe.
Really? The best you can do is if everybody does what they should the road 'should be safe'? I agree. But the facts are drivers here text,talk and just look at the park while wandering all over the road.
I drive this road several times every day and strongly feel that lane striping would be a great safety improvement. Do we have to wait for a major accident to prove us right?
I understand your concern, but our standards would not support putting a stripe in the middle of Washington Street in this vicinity. Citizens throughout the city often feel that a new stop sign, dramatically lowered speed limit signs, stripes, no parking zones, etc. are needed in particular circumstances, but the only reasonable way we can respond to these requests is to use engineering data that comes from years of studies resulting in specific standards for specific circumstances. We use these engineering standards because otherwise we'd be investing in a lot of regulatory infrastructure based only on opinion, and we'd be creating inconsistent application of traffic control devices, ultimately resulting in more confusion and ultimately less safety. If you'd like to talk with a traffic engineer about this particular road please contact Jed Niffenegger in our Transportation Services division (jed.niffenegger@raleighnc.gov)
Nichols is an unusual case of a public street with head-in parking backing into it. This is not a standard situation that motorists would experience on a public street in Raleigh and as such it was the judgment of our traffic engineering division that a stripe is warranted here to reduce the substantial accident risk that this poses. Nichols also experiences a lot of commercial traffic as a connecting street to and from St. Mary's from Cameron Village and Broughton HS, at a level greater than Washington Street. Hope that helps.
