City, regional engineers present safety audit of U.S. 63 intersections; recommend short- and long-term fixes
Summary
The City of Kirksville and regional planning partners on Thursday presented findings of a Safe Streets for All–funded road safety audit of U.S. 63 corridors in and near the city, identifying high travel speeds, wide multi‑lane crossings and confusing ramp geometry as recurring contributors to crashes and near‑misses.
The City of Kirksville and regional planning partners on Thursday presented findings of a Safe Streets for All (SS4A) road safety audit of U.S. 63 corridors in and near the city, identifying high travel speeds, wide multi-lane crossings and confusing ramp geometry as recurring contributors to crashes and near-misses.
The audit, funded through an SS4A grant administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation and executed by the Northeast Missouri Regional Planning Commission with McClure Engineering and McLaren Engineering staff, examined seven locations along the 63 corridor inside city limits. The study team identified short-term low-cost measures (signing and striping, converting right-yield movements to stop control), midterm changes (acceleration/merge lane improvements, channelized islands) and long-term reconstruction options (grade-separated interchanges, roundabouts, R‑cut configurations or a divided four-lane highway) depending on location and funding.
