To address these concerns, the City completed the North-South Connectivity Study, which evaluated six corridors that provide vital north-south connections through the city: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Montreal Road (East) Montreal Road (West) Cooledge Road Brockett Road Idlewood Road Fellowship Road As part of the North-South Connectivity Study, the City of Tucker retained Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., to complete data collection and analysis efforts for several study intersections in the study area. The purpose of this memorandum is to document these efforts completed for the intersection of SR 8 (US 29/Lawrenceville Highway) at Brockett Road. An intersection aerial is provided in Attachment A. Study Intersection The intersection of SR 8 (US 29/Lawrenceville Highway) and Brockett Road is a four-leg intersection that operates with a mast-arm signal. At the study intersection, SR 8 is a four-lane, principal arterial oriented in the northeast-southwest direction (considered east-west). SR 8 has a posted speed limit of 45 miles per hour (mph) and is divided by a two-way, left-turn lane (TWLTL). Brockett Road is a two-lane, undivided, major collector oriented in the north-south direction with a posted speed limit of 40 mph on the south leg and 35 mph on the north leg.
