20 2026 01 21 Eagle Rock Ave and Oval Road Laurel Avenue Traffic Signal Design Report

CONCLUSIONS Based on the signal warrant evaluations and capacity analyses presented in this report, it is concluded that the proposed traffic signal at the intersection of Eagle Rock Avenue (CR 611) and Oval Road/Crestmont Country Club Driveway is both warranted and operationally justified under the 2027 Build condition. The intersection satisfies the applicable MUTCD traffic signal warrants, including the Eight-Hour Vehicular Volume, Four-Hour Vehicular Volume, and Peak Hour warrants, reflecting existing and anticipated traffic demands associated with general background growth and the West Essex LLC development (Planning Board Application No. PB 24‑01). The operational analyses demonstrate that, without signal control, the intersection would experience excessive delays and queueing on the side-street approaches, particularly along Oval Road, which provides primary access to nearby residential neighborhoods. Under unsignalized conditions, these conditions could result in inefficient operations and potential safety concerns for vehicles entering and exiting Eagle Rock Avenue. With the implementation of the proposed traffic signal, associated lane reconfigurations, and the realignment of the Crestmont Country Club driveway, the intersection is projected to operate at acceptable Levels of Service during both the weekday morning and evening peak hours. The proposed left-turn lanes and signal phasing are expected to improve traffic flow, reduce delays, and accommodate projected 95th-percentile queues. Additionally, the proposed signal timing and coordination with the adjacent signalized intersection at Eagle Rock Avenue (CR 611) and Laurel Avenue (CR 634) will help maintain efficient progression along the Eagle Rock Avenue (CR 611) corridor. \\langan.com\data\PAR\data8\101049801\Project Data\_Discipline\Traffic\Reports\2026-01 Signal Design Report\2026-01 Traffic Signal Design Report in West Orange NJ.docx 9
