Peters Creek Road & Williamson Road Study (SA-23-06)
Welcome to the Peters Creek Road & Williamson Road Project Pipeline Study Survey
Please provide feedback on study alternatives to improve roadway safety, reliability, and multimodal accessibility/connectivity needs along Peters Creek Road and Williamson Road. Your feedback will help your local leaders determine whether to pursue future funding opportunities.
Project Pipeline is a performance-based planning program to identify cost-effective solutions to multimodal transportation needs in Virginia. Through this planning process, projects and solutions may be considered for funding through programs, including SMART SCALE, revenue sharing, interstate funding and others.

Background
The purpose of this study is to identify project recommendations for the Peters Creek Road (Route 117) and Williamson Road (Route 11) corridors from Wood Haven Road to Plantation Road. This study will focus on improving roadway safety, reliability, and multimodal accessibility/connectivity (bicycle, pedestrian, and transit) needs.
This Phase 2 survey is intended to obtain public input on the alternatives under consideration to address the issues that were identified by the study team and through the Phase 1 survey that was conducted previously.
Study Location
Innovative Intersections
Innovative intersection designs including RCUTs and Thru-cuts are recommended at several locations along Peters Creek Road and Williamson Road within the study area.
Restricted Crossing U-Turn (RCUT) Intersection

- Intersection design where all side street movements begin with a right turn
- Side street left-turn and through vehicles turn right and make a U-turn at a downstream median opening to complete the desired movement
Thru-cut Intersection
