The Kleingers Group has completed its review of the March 7, 2016 safety study that was prepared by CMT, Inc. to identify solutions to safety concerns along Shroyer Road. The purpose of this review is to ensure that the recommended countermeasures were reasonable to address the identified concerns. While the CMT study recommended countermeasures along the length of Shroyer Road, both within the corporation limits of the City of Oakwood and in the area of the Shroyer Road/Dorothy Lane intersection, which is in the City of Kettering, this review focuses on the countermeasures recommended within the City of Oakwood. The findings from our review are outlined below.

According to the CMT study, the primary traffic safety related issues identified along Shroyer Road are as follows:

1. Speed differential between same direction travel lanes
2. Restricted side-street sight distance at several intersections within the study area
3. Vehicle speeds in excess of the 35 mph posted speed limit
4. Crash patterns within the study area, including
   1. Rear-end crashes
   2. Angle crashes
   3. Left turn crashes
   4. Sideswipe crashes
5. Bicycle and pedestrian crashes and safety concerns within the study area

Within the Oakwood portion of Shroyer Road, the recommended countermeasures include the following:

1. Implementation of a road diet to reduce the roadway cross section from four travel lanes to three travel lanes (one 11.5-foot northbound lane, one 11.5-foot southbound lane, and one 11-foot median lane) and a 5-foot bicycle lane in each direction.
2. Construction of a raised median between intersections along Shroyer Road.
