EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The District of Columbia Department of Transportation (DDOT) conducted a study investigating
potential traffic management and truck management improvements along the Military
Road/Missouri Avenue corridor in northwest and northeast Washington, D.C., in response to
citizens concerns. The consulting firm, The Louis Berger Group, Inc. (Consultant) conducted
the study with direction and assistance from DDOT staff. This report refers to the team of the
Consultant and DDOT staff as the Study Team.
The main goals of the study were to examine existing and future traffic conditions in the study
area and to determine short-term and long-term traffic management and infrastructure
improvements to reduce speeding and traffic congestion, especially during peak morning and
evening travel hours, reduce truck traffic, improve traffic and pedestrian safety and protect
surrounding residential streets from traffic impacts. The boundary of the study area is defined by
an area four blocks north and south of the Military Road/Missouri Avenue corridor.
The study would not have been possible without the assistance of area residents and the
Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC). The Study Team held meetings with area
residents to discuss transportation issues and improvement options. The area residents provided
additional input via email and regular correspondence.
The study was initiated in June, 2003 and was completed in March 2004. This final report
addresses issues and deficiencies in the transportation infrastructure with improvement
recommendations. It also provides a summary assessment of future development impacts and
the effectiveness of the proposed recommendations in mitigating the impacts of future traffic
growth.
The Study Team first met with residents on both the east and west sides of Rock Creek Park to
identify issues and concerns. Data collection took place in June, August, and September 2003 to
expand an understanding of existing conditions in the Military Road/Missouri Avenue
Transportation study area. The quantitative assessment of existing conditions based on collected
data was combined with field evaluations throughout the study area during peak and off-peak
periods. Both quantitative assessment and field evaluation efforts were also used to verify some
transportation issues and concerns raised by residents in the study area. Following are the
characteristics of the Military Road/ Missouri Avenue corridor and the main findings of the
study:
Corridor Characteristics
The Military Road/Missouri Avenue study corridor is approximately 4.4 miles long,
beginning at Western Avenue and ending at Blair Road. The name of the road changes
from Military Road to Missouri Avenue at Georgia Avenue N.W. and to Riggs Road at
North Capitol Street N.W.
A portion of the Military Road/Missouri Avenue corridor (between Nebraska Avenue and
Georgia Avenue) is designated as part of the National Highway System. The National
Highway System is designed to provide access between arterials and major ports,
ES 1
April, 2004
airports, public transportation facilities, and other intermodal transportation facilities in

urban areas throughout the nation.
Public Transportation
The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) provides bus service
east of Nebraska Avenue along the Military Road/Missouri Avenue, allowing extensive
north-south travel movement between the District of Columbia and Montgomery County,
Maryland. WMATA also provides rail service to and from the Friendship Heights area at
the Western Avenue intersection. The Fort Totten Metro station is also located in the
vicinity of the study area.
The majority of Metrorail patrons, 64 percent, walk to the Friendship Heights station and
14 percent of patrons arrive at the station via Metrobus or Ride On bus service in
Montgomery County, Maryland.
Less than 50 percent of the 30 bicycle racks and 73 percent of the 22 lockers provided by
WMATA at the Friendship Heights station are utilized.
Traffic Volume
Average daily weekday vehicular volumes on Military Road/Missouri Avenue are
relatively uniform across the corridor in the range of 27,200 vehicles per day, except
west of Nebraska Avenue where the number of lanes decreases from four lanes to two
lanes and the volume decreases to approximately 13,900 vehicles per day.
Average Saturday vehicular volumes did not fluctuate compared to the weekday traffic,
but average Sunday traffic volumes decreased by 18 to 41 percent throughout the
corridor.
The morning and afternoon peak-hours were from 7:45 to 8:45AM and from 5:15 to 6:30
PM.
The study corridor carries a significant level of through-traffic in both directions.
The peak hour directional traffic movement is westward during the morning and eastward
during the afternoon peak hour.
Auto traffic makes up between 80 percent and 93 percent of all traffic on the recorded
streets.
The highest volume of heavy trucks (approximately 500 trucks per day, five percent of
the total traffic) was observed on the west side of Rock Creek Park, primarily westbound.
The highest volume of light trucks which included FedEx and UPS deliveries was
recorded near the Kansas Avenue intersection with an average of over 2,200 trucks per
day. Light truck traffic was fairly high (seven to 17 percent) at most locations, ranging
from 729 to 2,206 trucks. Near 43rd Street where the number of lanes on Military Road
decreased from four to two lanes, light truck traffic ranged from 276 to 333 trucks (five
to six percent of the total traffic).
ES 2
April, 2004
Speed
Vehicle traveling higher speed than the speed limit is a significant problem in the study
area. The most serious speeding problem was recorded near 7th Street where 15 percent
of the traffic exceeded the speed limit by 14 mph westbound and 17 mph eastbound.
Travel Time (Average Speed)
The average driving speed on Military Road/Missouri Avenue was slightly less than the
posted speed limit except within the Rock Creek Park section. In Rock Creek Park, it
was noted that the average speed of westbound vehicles was almost at the speed limit, but
eastbound vehicles exceeded the speed limit by 5 to 8 mph.
Queues
The most critical queuing (back-up) occurs at the Georgia Avenue intersection on
Military Road/Missouri Avenue during the afternoon peak hour with an average of 41
queued vehicles. Similarly, eastbound afternoon peak hour traffic at New Hampshire
Avenue and North Capitol Street averages 39 queued vehicles.
Safety
A significant number of collisions have been reported at major arterial and collector
intersections. The intersection of Missouri Avenue and 3rd Street had the highest number
of collisions, totaling 41 cases during the three year period from 2000-2002. The
Connecticut Avenue intersection had 36 reported collisions and New Hampshire Avenue
had 32 collisions in the last three year periods.
The 9th Street intersection is an unsignalized intersection with a high accident incident
rate. Over the last three years, a total of 27 incidents occurred at this intersection, which
in most cases involved a right-angle crash.
The Military Road/Missouri Avenue corridor is mostly residential. A high volume of
pedestrians crossing Military Road and Missouri Avenue were observed between
Western and Connecticut Avenue, and between 14th and 8th Streets. The proximity to the
Friendship Heights Metrorail station and Metrobus service at Western/Wisconsin
Avenues and Connecticut Avenue and commercial activity at Connecticut Avenue
explain the first case. Commercial activity at Georgia Avenue and proximity to the
Military Road School (at 13th) are the major contributing factors for the second case.
Crossing guards at 13th Street (signalized), Colorado Avenue/Georgia Avenue
(signalized), and 2nd Street (non-signalized) are on duty during the school year from
7:30AM to 9:30AM and from 3:00PM to 4:00PM to assist school children as well as
other pedestrians during peak periods.
ES 3
April, 2004
Parking
A total of 227 on-street parking spaces were recorded along the Military Road/Missouri
Avenue corridor. Most on-street parking spaces were available on the eastbound side of
the roadway (181 spaces) with only 46 spaces provided westbound between 13th and 14th
Streets.
On-street parking availability appears to be adequate in most of the study area. The onstreet parking utilization rate was highest (over 90 percent) on the section of Military
Road close to the Friendship Heights Metrorail station.
A sizable (over 3,000 spaces) parking lot/garage is located in the Friendship Heights area,
at the western end of Military Road at Western Avenue. Parking in most of the facilities
appears to be adequate throughout the study area for a fee.
Existing Conditions
Several intersections in the study area are operating at the undesirable levels of service
(LOS), E and F, during the morning and afternoon peak hours. The worst level of service
observed at a signalized intersection was at the Georgia Avenue intersection. The
average delay time at this intersection was over 2 minutes during morning and afternoon
peak hours, which is longer than one signal cycle length. Levels of service for
intersections at 13th Street (morning peak hour) and 41st Street (afternoon peak hour)
reach E during the peak hour, causing an average delay time of approximately one minute
and over one minute, respectively.
Two unsignalized intersections were examined at 43rd Street and at 9th Street. Drivers
from 9th Street turning onto Missouri Avenue experienced almost one minute average
delay during the afternoon peak hours.
Future Conditions
Background traffic growth and new development proposals in the Friendship Heights
area will increase traffic volumes along the western portion of Military Road, west of
Rock Creek Park.
Levels of service (LOS) at the intersections at Nebraska Avenue and Connecticut Avenue
during the morning peak hour and Kansas Avenue, 13th Street, Reno Road, and 41st Street
during the afternoon peak hour are anticipated to deteriorate to LOS E or F if no
improvements are made.
Some of the intersections are currently operating at acceptable levels of service.
However, without significant improvements, it is projected that the intersections at
Nebraska Avenue and Connecticut Avenue during the morning peak hour and Kansas
Avenue, 13th Street, Reno Road, and 41st Street during the afternoon peak hour will
deteriorate to LOS E or F.
The proposed improvements will improve to LOS C or better at most intersections. The
average delay experienced at Georgia Avenue could be reduced by as much as 88
percent.

April, 2004
The Study Team met with area residents and compiled a comprehensive list of transportation
issues for the study area, followed by extensive data collection, field investigations, and
assessments of existing conditions. These issues are summarized in Exhibits E1A through E1D.
The Study Team then developed suggested improvements and met again with area residents to
obtain comments. Exhibits E2A through E2D show the revised recommendations to improve
safety and transportation operations in the study area. The recommendations in this study are
mainly intended to address traffic and pedestrian safety along the Military Road/Missouri
Avenue corridor by reducing excessive vehicular speeds throughout the corridor and improving
the condition of critical conflict points. However, if the recommended measures do not reduce
excessive speeding and accident incidents, DDOT will revisit the corridor and implement
additional traffic calming measures where necessary.

area during peak and off-peak hours in order to improve the teams understanding of the existing
conditions.
The Military Road/Missouri Avenue study corridor has different characteristics for the west and
east sides of Rock Creek Park. The report will reference the west and east sides of Rock Creek
Park in order to depict the comprehensive understanding of the existing conditions in the study
area.
2 EXISTING CONDITIONS
Considerable data was collected on existing conditions in the Military Road/Missouri Avenue
Transportation study area in order to investigate and verify transportation issues and concerns
raised by area residents. The quantitative assessment of existing conditions based on collected
data was supplemented through field observations and evaluations during peak and off-peak
hours.

2.1
MAJOR ROADWAYS
The primary focus of the Military Road/Missouri Avenue Transportation study is the Military
Road/Missouri Avenue corridor in northwest and northeast Washington, D.C. The boundary of
the study area is defined by an area four blocks north and south of the Military Road/Missouri
Avenue corridor (Exhibit 2-1).
Portions of the Military Road/Missouri Avenue corridor (between Nebraska Avenue and Georgia
Avenue) are designated as part of the National Highway System (NHS). The NHS is
approximately 160,000 miles of roadway important to the nation's economy, defense, and
mobility. Specifically, in an urban environment, designated NHS roadways provide access
between arterials and major ports, airports, public transportation facilities, or other intermodal
transportation facilities.

2.1.1 Street Classification

A key roadway in the District of Columbia, the Military Road/Missouri Avenue corridor serves
as a major roadway linkage among the various jurisdictions in the Washington metropolitan area.
The study corridors functional classification varies from minor arterial to principal arterial with
one section that is freeway/expressway. The name of the road changes from Military Road to
Missouri Avenue at the Georgia Avenue intersection and to Riggs Road at North Capitol Street.
The corridor has several critical intersecting roadways which serve major north-south travel
movement in the region. The following list shows street classifications as defined by the District
of Columbia Department of Transportation:
Freeway/Expressway

The following section provides a physical description of the corridor, broken into six segments
based on similar characteristics:
1. Military Road from Western Avenue to Nebraska Avenue/Broad Branch Road
2. Military Road from Nebraska Avenue to Oregon Avenue/Glover Road
3. Military Road Segment in Rock Creek Park (from Oregon Avenue/Glover Road to 14th
Street)
4. Military Road/Missouri Avenue from 14th Street to Georgia Avenue
5. Missouri Avenue from Georgia Avenue to Kansas Avenue
6. Missouri Avenue from Kansas Avenue to North Capitol Street and Riggs Road from
North Capitol Street to Blair Road
2.1.2 Military Road from Western Avenue to Broad Branch Road/Nebraska
Military Road between Western Avenue and Nebraska Avenue is a two-way, two lane minor
arterial. This western most part of the Military Road corridor has a posted speed limit of 25 mph
and is surrounded by mainly residential land use with a few commercial developments such as
the Washington Clinic and the Embassy Suites at the Western Avenue intersection. There are
four principal and minor arterial roadways intersecting with Military Road: Western Avenue,
Reno Road, Connecticut Avenue, and Nebraska Avenue (south of Military Road only).
Connecticut Avenue is a major arterial roadway for commuters connecting residents in Maryland
and the District of Columbia.
Right turns are permitted and a signalized exclusive left turn lane is provided at Western Avenue.
Left turns (eastbound) and right turns (westbound) are permitted at 43rd Street, 42nd Place, 42nd
Street, and Belt Road. While right turn movements are allowed at 41st Street and Reno Road for
Military Road eastbound movements, left turn onto 41st Street/Reno Road are prohibited. Left
turn movements on Military Road westbound at 41st Street/Reno Road are also prohibited
between 7:00AM and 6:30PM.
An exclusive left turn lane is provided at Connecticut Avenue in both directions. An exclusive
right-lane is provided at Connecticut Avenue northwestbound and at Nebraska Avenue
northeastbound. Left turns are not allowed at Nebraska Avenue northeastbound. At Military
Road, Broad Branch Road becomes one-way street in opposite directions. Exhibit 2-2A shows
the lane configuration of all signalized intersections on Military Road between Western Avenue
and Broad Branch Road/Nebraska Avenue.
There are seven signalized intersections on this segment of Military Road: 41st Street, Reno
Road, 39th Street, Connecticut Avenue, Nevada Avenue, Broad Branch Road, and Nebraska
Avenue. Left and right turn movements are allowed from all local streets except at 42nd Street,
where only right turn movements are permitted for northbound traffic.
On-street parking is allowed on the eastbound side of Military Road between 43rd Street and 41st
Street and between Reno Road and Connecticut Avenue. Sections between 43rd Street to 41st
Street and Reno Road to 39th Street have two-hour parking restrictions except for Zone 3
April, 2004
Parking Permit holders. All signalized intersections have striped pedestrian crosswalks.
Sidewalks are provided along the corridor in both directions.
The Embassy Suites (part of the Chevy Chase Pavilion building) on Military Road at Western
Avenue provides a hotel guest drop-off bay for guests to load and unload. The Embassy Suites
and the Chevy Chase Pavilion provide public parking and a delivery truck loading zone that can
be accessed from Military Road.
2.1.3 Military Road from Nebraska Avenue to Oregon Avenue/Glover Road
Military Road from Nebraska Avenue eastward increases from two to four lanes. The Military
Road section between Nebraska Avenue and Oregon Avenue/Glover Road (northbound/
southbound) is a two-way, four lane principal arterial. The posted speed limit is 25 mph and is
surrounded by mainly residential neighborhoods. Near 31st Street, there is a Jewish temple,
Temple Sinai, and a retirement home, Ingleside Presbyterian Retirement Home. Intersecting
streets on this part of Military Road are mainly local streets, 32nd, 31st, 30th, 29th, 28th, and 27th
Streets and 30th Place except for Nebraska Avenue/Broad Branch Road. As described in the
previous section, Nebraska Avenue is a principal arterial south of Military Road and is a
collector road north of Military Road. Thirty-second Street becomes a one-way street
southbound at Military Road. All intersections except 30th Place, 29th and 28th Streets are
signalized. No parking is allowed in this section of the Military Road corridor.
An exclusive left turn lane is provided at 27th Street southbound at Military Road, at Military
Road eastbound at 27th Street, and east and westbound at Oregon Avenue. An exclusive right
turn lane is provided at 27th Street westbound. All signalized intersections have striped
pedestrian crossings, and the east and west sides of Military Road at Broad Branch
Road/Nebraska Avenue and at 32nd Street have zebra-striping to increase driver awareness of
pedestrian crossings at these intersections.
Similar to the previous section of Military Road, the dominant land use surrounding the corridor
is residential. However, unlike the rest of the Military Road sections, this section is not flat, but
rather hilly with the highest point at 31st Street, where the retirement home is located. St. Johns
College High School is located on the north side of Military Road between 27th Street and
Oregon Avenue. The school has access from both 27th Street and Oregon Avenue. A portion of
Rock Creek Park is located on the south side of Military Road between 27th Street and Oregon
Avenue.
Exhibit 2-2A shows the lane configuration of all signalized intersections on Military Road
between Broad Branch Road/Nebraska Avenue and Oregon Avenue.
2.1.4 Military Road Segment in Rock Creek Park (from Oregon Avenue/Glover Road to 14th
Street)
The Military Road segment in Rock Creek Park between Oregon Avenue and 14th Street is a
two-way, four lane urban freeway/expressway. The two travel directions are separated by a
barrier and access is limited. This part of the Military Road corridor is located in the Rock Creek
April, 2004
National Park system. Unlike other sections of Military Road, the posted speed limit is 35 mph.
This section of Military Road is maintained by the Rock Creek Park Division of the National
Park Service.
Two grade-separated interchanges are located on this segment of Military Road. At the
westbound interchange, access ramps to and from Rose Drive and Beach Drive lead drivers to
the Rock Creek Parks north-south connector, the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway. A second
interchange at the 16th Street intersection provides drivers with access to this section of the
corridor. Sixteenth Street is another major principal arterial connecting Maryland and the
District of Columbia.
As noted earlier, an exclusive left turn lane is provided east and west bound at Oregon Avenue
and both left and right turns are permitted at the 14th Street intersection. Exhibits 2-2A and 2-2B
show the lane configuration at the Oregon Avenue and 14th Street intersections.
2.1.5 Military Road/Missouri Avenue from 14th Street to Georgia Avenue
Military Road between 14th Street and Georgia Avenue becomes a two-way, four lane principal
arterial with a posted speed limit of 25 mph. Military Road and Missouri Avenue join between
14th Street and 13th Street at Georgia Avenue. West of this intersection, the street is named
Military Road; to the east, it is named Missouri Avenue. All crossing intersections are signalized
and have striped pedestrian crossings. The northern part of the Georgia Avenue intersection has
a zebra stripe. Street parking is allowed on both sides of Military Road/Missouri Avenue
between 14th and 13th Streets.
As Military Road becomes Missouri Avenue, an exclusive left turn lane is provided for Missouri
Avenue eastbound movement at the Georgia Avenue intersection. Left turns are prohibited
westbound of Missouri Avenue at Georgia Avenue. While left and right turns are allowed at the
rest of the intersections, left turn movements are prohibited in both directions at 13th Street
during morning and afternoon peak periods (from 7:00AM to 9:30AM and from 4:00PM to
6:30PM). Exhibit 2-2B shows the lane configuration of all signalized intersections on Military
Road between 14th Street and Georgia Avenue.
There are two schools located at 13th Street intersections: Brightwood Elementary School (13th
Street and Nicholson Street) and Military Road School (13th Street and Military Road). The 13th
Street intersections section of the corridor has a mixture of different land uses and densities.
Most of the residential complexes are multi-family apartment buildings and commercial
developments are predominant at Georgia Avenue. Exhibit 2-3 illustrates the general land use
mixture of the corridor.
2.1.6 Missouri Avenue from Georgia Avenue to Kansas Avenue
Missouri Avenue between Georgia Avenue and Kansas Avenue is a two-way, four lane
northwest-southeast principal arterial. The posted speed limit is 25 mph. All crossing streets
between Georgia Avenue and Kansas Avenue are local streets except 5th Street and 3rd Street
April, 2004
which are collector roads. Kansas Avenue is a minor arterial and Kennedy Street, an intersecting
roadway at Kansas Avenue/Missouri Avenue, is a collector road.
Four signalized intersections are in this segment of Missouri Avenue: 8th Street, 5th Street, 3rd
Street, and Kansas Avenue. Left turns are prohibited westbound at Kansas Avenue and an
exclusive right turn lane is provided at Kansas Avenue northbound. Exhibit 2-2B shows the lane
configuration of all signalized intersections and one unsignalized intersection, 9th Street.
The dominant land use along the corridor is mostly residential with various residential structures
such as single-family dwelling, row houses, and apartment buildings, except at Georgia Avenue
where the dominant land use is commercial. No on-street parking is allowed in this section of
Missouri Avenue. Exhibit 2-3 shows land use characteristics for this section of the study
corridor.
The Paul Junior High School is located near the 8th Street intersection on the north side of
Missouri Avenue. A crossing sign with a flashing light is located eastbound near 8th street to
increase driver awareness about pedestrian crossings during school time. The speed limit near
the crossing sign is 15 mph.
2.1.7 Missouri Avenue from Kansas Avenue to North Capitol Street and Riggs Road from
North Capitol Street to Blair Road
Missouri Avenue from Kansas Avenue to North Capitol Street and Riggs Road from North
Capitol Street to Blair Road is a two-way, four lane northwest-southeast principal arterial. The
posted speed limit is 25 mph. Most of the crossing roadways between Kansas Avenue and Blair
Road are principal or minor arterials such as Kansas Avenue, New Hampshire Avenue, and
North Capitol Street.
An exclusive left turn lane is provided at North Capitol Street southbound. Left turns are
prohibited eastbound at New Hampshire Avenue. Left turns are restricted at North Capitol Street
during morning and afternoon peak periods (from 7:00AM to 9:30AM and from 4:00PM to
6:30PM), except for buses. An exclusive right turn lane is provided at Blair Road northbound.
Exhibit 2-2B shows the lane configuration of all signalized intersections on Missouri
Avenue/Riggs Road between Kansas Avenue and Blair Road.
The dominant land use along the corridor is residential with various residential structures such as
single-family dwelling, row houses, and apartment buildings. On-street parking is not allowed in
this section of Missouri Avenue and Riggs Road. Exhibit 2-3 shows land use characteristics for
this section of the study corridor.
The Rudolph Elementary School and the Mamie D. Lee School (special education) are located
near the 2nd Street intersection and at the North Capitol Street intersection, respectively. School
crossing signs are placed between Kennedy Street and 1st Street, between New Hampshire
Avenue and North Capitol Street, and near Riggs Road and Blair Road intersection (with flash
light) to increase driver awareness of pedestrian crossings. The speed limits near the crossing
signs are 15 mph.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
The Friendship Heights Metro station is located at the western end of the study area, and the Fort
Totten station is located just east of the study area. Various bus lines serve the stations, as well
as neighborhoods and schools in between. Details about the Washington Metropolitan Area
Transit Authority (WMATA) services are provided below.
2.2.1 WMATA Metrorail
The WMATA Metrorail Red line services residents and visitors at the Friendship Heights station.
There are a total of five metro station entrances and exits: three in the District of Columbia (two
at the Wisconsin and Western Avenue intersection, and one on Wisconsin Avenue between
Jenifer and Harrison Streets) and two in Montgomery County (at the Wisconsin and Western
Avenue intersections). Train service begins at 5:30AM. The last train service departs from the
Shady Grove station at 12:20AM and from the Glenmont station at 11:50PM with variable
headways.
WMATA regularly conducts a Metrorail passenger survey to estimate the percentage of total
ridership residing in each jurisdiction. The results from the 2002 Metrorail Passenger Survey
show that approximately 8,900 patrons use the Friendship Heights Metro Station. Most patrons
(64 percent) walk to the station and approximately 14 percent of metro users arrive at the station
by WMATA Metrobus or Ride On bus. The survey results also indicated that 36 patrons got to
the station by bicycle during this particular survey period. Currently, WMATA provides 30
bicycle racks (18 at the northeast corner of the Wisconsin and Western Avenue intersection and
12 at the Jenifer Street Metro entrance) and 22 lockers at the Friendship Heights station.
However, currently, less than 50 percent of the bicycle racks and 73 percent of the lockers are
utilized.
The Fort Totten Metro station is also located in the vicinity of the study area. Details about the
Fort Totten Metro station can also be found in the 2002 Metrorail Passenger Survey.
2.2.2 WMATA Metrobus Lines
WMATA provides bus service in the study area mainly between Nebraska Avenue N.W. and 1st

BICYCLE ROUTES
The District of Columbia Department of Transportation Bicycle Program began preparation of

the DC Bicycle Master Plan in the fall of 2002. The master plan will include comprehensive
mapping and analysis of existing conditions on all of the Districts roadways, identification of a
bicycle route network, and development of policy and design guidelines. The complete DC
bicycle Master Plan is scheduled to be available by summer 2004.
The Washington DC Regional Bike Map was jointly produced by the Metropolitan Washington
Council of Governments (MWCOG) and ADC The Map People to assist people who want to
travel in the Washington metro area by bicycle. The Military Road/Missouri Avenue study
corridor has several types of bike trails and routes such as a multi-use trails, on-road bike routes,
and routes identified by experienced cyclists for scenic quality or as a link to other routes. Many
routes run through Rock Creek Park.
2.4
HISTORICAL/ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES AND LANDMARKS
Another important element in the transportation study was considered is identifying and locating
historical markers and sites. Findings were carefully compared with possible improvements to
the corridor so that there were no impacts to the identified historical landmarks and archeological
sites. Appendix B provides detailed cultural resource analysis, including a reconnaissance
survey and assessment of historical/archaeological resources along the Military Road/Missouri
Avenue corridor.
A search of the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites and a visit to the District of
Columbia Historical Preservation Office (DCSHPO) identified four recorded archaeological sites
within the study area (Exhibit 2-5), two of which are registered as National Register Properties
(Exhibit 2-6 showing Fort Stevens):

Historic/architectural resources are located within the project study area and at a number of
intersections along Military Road/Missouri Avenue. Review of the DCSHPO sites identified
five individual historic and architectural resources and one historic district listed on the National
Register of Historic Places (Exhibit 2-7). The individual resources include three buildings: the
Chevy Chase Theater, Chevy Chase Arcade, and the Military Road School. The Chevy Chase
Theater and Chevy Chase Arcade are located along Connecticut Avenue between Livingston and
Northampton Streets. The Military Road School is located on the north side of Missouri Avenue
between 13th and 14th Streets. Both Fort Stevens and Fort Slocum are listed on the National
Register due to their association with the Civil War defenses of Washington, D.C.
The Rock Creek Park Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic
Places, roughly corresponds with park boundaries and is defined by 16th Street to the east,
Oregon Avenue and Branch Road to the west, Klingle Road to the south, and the District line
and Parkside Drive to the north. The park contains many archaeological and historic resources.

Exhibit 2-7C: Military Road School
In addition to the review of the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites and the visit to
the District of Columbia Historical Preservation Office (DCHPO), a brief architectural
reconnaissance field survey was conducted to observe and identify unrecorded architectural
resources along the study corridor (Military Road, Missouri Avenue, and Riggs Road) and major
intersections. Based upon the field visit and assessment, few if any of the unrecorded
architectural resources in this area appear to meet National Register criteria. The residential
buildings represent indistinctive examples of early to mid-20th century urban construction, with
no known historical associations. The following briefly describes historical characteristics of the
study corridor by section:
Military Road from Western Avenue to 27th Street
The portion of Military Road between Western Avenue and 27th Street extends through a
residential neighborhood consisting primarily single family dwellings constructed
between circa 1920 and 1950, mixed with a smaller number of multiple family dwellings
constructed during the same period.
Military Road between 27th and 16th Streets - Rock Creek Park
Military Road passes through Rock Creek
Park between 27th Street and 16th Street.
As previously discussed, Rock Creek Park
is a historic district listed on the National
Register of Historic Places. The portion
of Military Road that passes through Rock
Creek Park is considered a historic road
and thus is a contributing resource within
the historic district.
Military Road facing East Entrance into Rock Creek Park
18
April, 2004
Missouri Avenue and Riggs Road between 16th Street and 1st Street
The eastern half of the project area contains Missouri Avenue and a small portion of
Riggs Road. This area primarily consists of residential neighborhoods, with the
exception of Georgia Avenue where the land use is entirely commercial at the
intersection with Missouri Avenue. The Carolina Furniture Building at Georgia Avenue
and the classically influenced commercial
building at 5913 Georgia Avenue have
potential to meet National Register
Criterion C for architectural significance.
The residential neighborhood along
Missouri Avenue contains a variety of
property types that include schools,
churches, parks, and residential structures.
The residential structures include singlefamily dwellings, row houses, and
apartment buildings.

2.5
RESIDENT CONCERNS AND ISSUES
Throughout the study, the Study Team received important feedback from residents in the
Military Road/Missouri Avenue corridor study area. Numerous residents expressed their
concerns on issues such as speeding, truck traffic, noise, queuing/back-ups, and pedestrian
safety. The following list summarizes concerns and issues the Study Team received from
various sources (e.g., via public meetings, email, telephone, etc.):
Speeding
Speeding problem along entire corridor
Speed limits need to be more uniform throughout the corridor.
Heavy speeding from Oregon Avenue to 16th Street in Rock Creek Park
Police lack a safe place to set up speed monitoring equipment.
The eleven traffic lights (west side of Rock Creek Park) along the corridor are not
controlling the speeding.
Solving the speeding problem first may solve other problems.
On eastbound Missouri Avenue, speeding is a serious problem at Georgia Avenue
intersections during afternoon peak hours since drivers speed to make the signal light.
Speed limits are not enforced on Missouri Avenue.
The hill at 31st Street contributes to Military Road.
Signalization and Signage
At the Reno Road/41st Street intersection, there is a sign that indicates speeding is monitored
by radar, but this has not been enforced.
Red light running is a significant problem along the corridor.
.
Turning Movements
Turns onto 30th and 31st Streets are extremely difficult.
19
April, 2004
At the intersection of Military Road and 13th /14th Streets, vehicles are making U-turns when
the traffic backs up eastbound in the morning rush hour to avoid back-ups at 16th Street.
No left turns onto 13th Street cause back ups
No left turn lane at 14th Street eastbound is contributing to further back-ups at 13th Street and
illegal vehicle movement (U-turn).
Parking
Most citizens want to keep on-street parking as a pedestrian safety measure
Poor sight-distance from 38th Street on-street parking onto Military Road
Bus and Truck Traffic
Both Metrobuses and school buses are contributing to speeding problems along the corridor.
Development in Friendship Heights will likely increase the demand for cross-town
Metrobuses on Military Road.
High volume of trucks beginning at 4:00 AM and continuing throughout the day
Buses and trucks kicking up grit from the road
Buses and trucks causing significant vibration to windows and houses
Need to redirect dump trucks away from Military Road
Too many uncovered debris-laden trucks
Road Conditions
The curb on the north side of Military Road between 30th and 32nd Streets is disintegrating.
Weather related road condition problems on Military Road and 31st Street.
Historic Sites
Keep historic fabric of neighborhood intact
Historical site located in the study is Military Road School.
Queuing
Back-ups at Missouri Avenue/North Capitol Street intersection, sometimes extends 3 or 4
blocks to south, east, and west
At Military Road/Reno Road/41st Street intersection, excessive back-ups from commuter
traffic during rush hours
Pedestrian Crossings
Children at risk crossing Missouri Avenue to get to local schools, particularly at Brightwood
and Paul Junior High schools
Pedestrian crossing at 27th and 31st Streets should be carefully examined
Two retirement homes are located in this area
2.6
DATA COLLECTION AND FIELD OBSERVATION
The data collection and analyses were undertaken in accordance with traffic engineering
principles and procedures established by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) and the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). In order to collect representative data and field
observations, data was collected on a typical weekday (e.g., mid-week, sunny day, etc.) and
20
April, 2004
weekends which were not impacted by national and local holidays, or by unfavorable weather, or
other factors such as traffic accidents.
Data collection specifically targeted issues and concerns raised by residents throughout the
study, which were discussed in the previous section. The major data collection efforts and field
observations included:
traffic volumes (including peak-hour turning movements)
vehicle classification
speeds and travel time
vehicle queues
safety (accident data and pedestrian crossing)
parking (utilization and violation)
A detailed discussion of the data collection and field observation process as well as summary
findings follow.
2.6.1 Traffic Volumes
Traffic volumes in the study area were analyzed by examining average daily traffic volumes,
average weekday peak hour traffic volumes, and peak-hour turning movements at key
intersections.
Mechanical Traffic Volumes
Traffic counts were collected using mechanical tube devices over a one-week period at five
roadway segments: (Data collected in 2003 from the Friendship Heights Transportation Study is
used for the segment near 43rd Street.)
Segment #1: Missouri Avenue between New Hampshire Avenue and Kansas Avenue
Segment #2: Missouri Avenue between 5th Street and 8th Street
Segment #3: Military Road between Oregon Avenue and 27th Street
Segment #4: Military Road between 32nd Street and Nebraska Avenue
Segment #5: Military Road between 43rd Street and 42nd Street
As shown in Exhibit 2-8, average daily weekday vehicular volumes are relatively uniform in the
range of 27,200 vehicles per day (vpd), except for 7th Street and 43rd Street, where the volumes
are in the range of 23,000 vpd and 13,900 vpd respectively. Average Saturday vehicular
volumes did not fluctuate much along the corridor and average Sunday traffic volume decreased
by 18 to 41 percent throughout the corridor.

The Study Team further examined the peak hour and directional traffic characteristics along
Military Road/Missouri Avenue. Appendix C has detailed mechanical traffic volume counts at
the selected roadway locations. As shown in Exhibit 2-9, a higher westbound traffic volume in
the morning peak hour and eastbound volume in the afternoon peak hour were observed west of
Rock Creek Park. As described in a previous section, the study corridor east of Nebraska
Avenue is a four lane roadway. Generally, a higher traffic volume was recorded in the inner lane
of the two lanes for each direction.

The counts were collected during morning (from 6:30AM to 9:30AM) and afternoon (from
3:30PM to 6:30M) peak-periods, on a typical weekday (Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday)
during June and September 2003 (while school was in session). The turning movement volumes
shown in Exhibit 2-10A and B show that the study corridor carries a significant level of through
traffic in both directions. The peak hour directional traffic movement is westward during the
morning, with a east-west split of approximately 40 to 60 percent throughout the corridor, except
along the section between Western Avenue and 41st Street/Reno Road. Along this part of
Military Road (Friendship Heights area), the dominant peak hour traffic movement is eastward,
with an east-west split of approximately 55 to 45 percent. The afternoon peak hour directional
traffic flow is eastward with the east-west split being approximately 55 to 45 percent. The only
exception to the afternoon peak directional flow is the section of the corridor between 3rd Street
and New Hampshire Avenue, along which the east-west distribution is 45 to 55 percent.

2.6.2 Vehicle Classification

The mechanical traffic counters recorded vehicle classification information as well as traffic
counts using a vehicle classification guideline from the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) and American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO).
Four major vehicle classifications: passenger cars, bus, light trucks, and heavy trucks, were used
to identify the volume of non-passenger vehicle traffic and vehicle types in the study area.
Exhibit 2-12 indicates that auto traffic makes up between 80 percent and 93 percent of all the
traffic on the recorded streets.

Notes:
1.
FHWA F Scheme and Numetrics Vehicle Length vehicle classification methods were used along the study corridor.
2.
Light trucks are defined in this study as two-axle, four-tire trucks.
3.
The data is based on one-week mechanical traffic counts.
The highest volume of heavy trucks (approximately 500 heavy trucks per day) was observed on
the west side of Rock Creek Park, especially westbound. The highest volume of light trucks,
which includes FedEx and UPS deliveries, was recorded near the Kansas Street intersection with
over 2,200 trucks per day. Light truck traffic was represented more than 10 percent of total
traffic throughout most of the corridor, except near 43rd Street where the number of lanes on
Military Road decreases from four to two lanes. Heavy truck traffic constitutes from one to five
percent of the average daily traffic along the study corridor.
The corridor is served by Metrobus service east of Nebraska Avenue, and the bus volume ranged
from 43 to 174 buses per day. Appendix E presents detailed vehicle classification data at the five
roadway segments discussed above.
2.6.3 Truck Traffic Volume
In response to resident concerns about truck traffic along the corridor, the Study Team further
analyzed truck traffic volumes using the turning movement counts collected at the selected 26
intersections. As shown in Exhibit 2-13, truck traffic is heavier westbound in the morning peak
hour and eastbound in the afternoon peak hour. Turning movement counts were not collected on
the same day at all the selected intersections; therefore, these data cannot be used to determine
the full patterns of truck traffic movements. However, data can be used to examine the flow of
truck traffic along the study corridor. Consistent with the mechanical counts, turning movement
counts indicate an increase in volume east of Nebraska Avenue and heavier eastbound truck
traffic in the morning peak hour.

The details of peak hour truck traffic counts can be found in Appendix D (with turning
movement count data).
2.6.4 Speed
Driving speed and travel times on major roadways are important measures of existing traffic
conditions. Mechanical speed counts were collected at five locations, including the 43rd Street
data, which was collected during the Friendship Heights Transportation Study (2003).
As shown in Exhibit 2-14, the average speed (calculated based on one-week mechanical counts)
on key roadways in the study area generally exceeded the posted speed by over 6 mph, except
near Nebraska Avenue and 43rd Street. Average speed recorded near 43rd Street was
28
April, 2004
approximately the same as the posted speed limit; however, average speed recorded near
Nebraska Avenue exceeded the posted speed by slightly less than 6 mph.
At all data collection sites, in addition to average speed, 85th percentile speed was recorded. The
85th percentile speed indicates the speed at or below which 85 % of the vehicles are moving,
which means the other 15 percent of the vehicles are driving above the 85th percentile speed.
About 15 percent of the vehicles exceeded the speed limit by at least 5 mph near 43rd Street and
serious speeding was observed at the rest of the locations where traffic exceeded the speed limit
by at least 9 mph. The most serious speeding was recorded near 7th Street where 15 percent of
the traffic exceeded the speed limit by 14 mph westbound and 17 mph eastbound.

2.6.5 Travel Time
Floating car surveys were conducted to observe typical speeds and travel times along the
Military Road/Missouri Avenue/Riggs Road corridor between Western Avenue and Blair Road
on September 10th and 11th, 2003, two typical weekdays. Members of the Study Team drove the
corridor several times in each direction during both morning and afternoon peak periods and
recorded the elapsed travel times and distance between predetermined travel points. The data
collectors were instructed to drive at the same speed as most of the vehicles traversing the study
area; therefore, in some cases, the data collectors traveled at speeds above the speed limit.
As shown in Exhibit 2-15, the average speed on Military Road/Missouri Avenue was slightly
slower than the posted speed limit except within the Rock Creek Park section. For this section, it
was noted that the average speed of westbound vehicles was almost at the speed limit, but
eastbound vehicles exceeded the speed limit by 5 to 8 mph. If additional delay factors such as
29
April, 2004
signal stops and pedestrian crossings are considered, the average vehicular travel speed will
continue to slow down along the corridor except at Rock Creek Park.

2.6.6 Vehicular Queues
Military Road/Missouri Avenue is a critical east-west roadway for major intersecting arterials,
creating vehicular queues especially during morning and afternoon peak hours, causing serious
travel delays for many travelers. The Study Team targeted the following seven major
intersections for peak hour queuing observations.
1. Connecticut Avenue
2. Nebraska Avenue
3. 16th Street
4. 13th Street
5. Georgia Avenue
6. New Hampshire Avenue
7. North Capitol Street
Each of these intersections has at least four approaches, which means that queues can occur on a
total of 28 approaches in each peak hour for total of 56 observation areas. At most locations, all
of the queued vehicles were able to clear the intersection during a single signal cycle. The Study
Team found eleven approaches where the queues could not clear in a single signal cycle during
the data collection period (Exhibit 2-16). As Exhibit 2-16 indicates, the most severe queuing
occurs at Georgia Avenue during the afternoon peak hour, averaging 41 queued vehicles.
Additionally, for eastbound traffic at New Hampshire Avenue and North Capitol Street during
the afternoon peak hour, the average number of vehicles queued was 39. More detailed field
survey results are provided in Appendix G.

2.6.7 Safety
Accident Data
An assessment of safety conditions in the study area is another important component for
understanding existing road conditions. The Study Team obtained accident data from the
District of Columbia Department of Transportation (DDOT) from 2000 through 2002. DDOT
had accident data available for 31 intersections in the study area.
As summarized in Exhibit 2-17, nine intersections (listed in Bold) had more than 20 collision
cases during the previous three years (2000-2002). The intersection of Missouri Avenue and 3rd
Street had the highest number of cases, totaling 41. The Connecticut Avenue intersection had 36
cases while the New Hampshire Avenue intersection had 32. Both the Connecticut Avenue and
New Hampshire Avenue cases showed that various types of collision cases had taken place,
indicating that these intersections are accident-prone intersections.
One of the unsignalized intersections with a high collision rate was the 9th Street intersection.
Over the last three years, a total of 27 collisions occurred at this intersection, of which 18 were
right-angle crashes. Detailed accident data for each of the 31 intersections is provided in
Appendix H.

Pedestrian Movements
Pedestrian movements were recorded at the same 26 intersections listed earlier in section 2.6.2
Turning Movement Traffic Counts. Pedestrian volume counts were collected during morning and
afternoon peak hours to identify critical intersections for both passenger car and pedestrian
crossing safety. As Exhibits 2-18A and 2-18B illustrate, significant pedestrian crossing activity
occurs within two distinct sections of the study corridor. These are as follows:
Military Road between Western Avenue and Connecticut Avenue

Missouri Avenue between 14th and 8th Streets
The high pedestrian volume in the segment between Western and Connecticut Avenues is
consistent with the proximity to the Friendship Heights Metrorail station, and with Metrobus
service at Western/ Wisconsin Avenues and Connecticut Avenue. Western/Wisconsin and
Connecticut corridors are serviced by high frequency public transportation vehicles carrying
patrons to and from Maryland and the District of Columbia, contributing to a high number of
pedestrian crossings.
The Military Road/Missouri Avenue segment between 14th and 8th Streets is surrounded by
multi-family residential apartments. Frequent Metrobus service along 14th Street and Georgia
Avenue supports commercial activity along Georgia Avenue and provides transportation access
for the surrounding residents. The Military Road School is located one block south of Military
Road between 14th and 13th Streets. The close proximity to the Military Road School, public
transportation and residential structures all promote higher pedestrian crossings in this section of
the study corridor.
During field observations, the Study Team noted the presence of crossing guards at 13th Street
(signalized), Colorado Avenue/Georgia Avenue (signalized), and 2nd Street (non-signalized).
The crossing guards are on duty during the school year from 7:30AM to 9:30AM and from
3:00PM to 4:00PM to assist school children as well as other pedestrians during peak periods.
School Crossing signs are located before 8th Street (west of the intersection), between Kennedy
Street and 1st Street, between New Hampshire and North Capitol, and near the Village Learning
Center at intersection of Riggs Road and Blair Road. Additionally, west of 8th Street and near
the Village Learning Center, the school crossing sign is also accompanied by a flashing light to
prewarn drivers. The speed limit is reduced to 15 mph.
Complete pedestrian crossing data is provided in Appendix I.

2.6.8 Parking
Parking Inventory
The Military Road/Missouri Avenue corridor has limited on-street parking. During a parking
inventory along the study corridor, a total of 227 on-street parking spaces were recorded. Most
on-street parking spaces were available on the eastbound side of the roadway (181 spaces) and
only 46 spaces were provided westbound between 13th and 14th Streets (Exhibit 2-19). On-street
parking has a two-hour time limit between 43rd Street and 39th Street for non-Zone 3 Permit
holders. The rest of the parking spaces are restricted and some lacked clear striping indicating
allowable parking spaces.
A sizable (over 3,000 spaces) parking lot/garage is located in the Friendship Heights area, at the
western end of Military Road at Western Avenue. No additional major parking facility is found
along the corridor.
Parking Utilization
Parking utilization in the study area was recorded over two days on a typical weekday (9/10 and
9/11, 2003). Since peak hour traffic is higher than off-peak periods, parking sufficiency
throughout the study corridor was evaluated during peak hour periods. Parking garage/lot
parking facilities utilization data was recorded as part of the Friendship Heights Study
(conducted from February to October, 2003) on 4/22 and 4/23. Lot/garage facility parking
utilization ranged from 20 and 90 percent of their capacity during morning and afternoon peak
hours. It was noted that factors such as proximity to the Friendship Heights Metrorail station and
direct access from a major principal arterial like Wisconsin Avenue contribute to higher parking
facility utilization.
The on-street parking utilization rate was moderate but higher (over 90 percent) on the section of
Military Road close to the Friendship Heights Metrorail station. Compared to the rest of the
study corridor, a higher (75 percent) parking utilization rate was recorded on Military Road
between 38th Street and Connecticut Avenue, where retail activity and high density apartment
complexes on Connecticut Avenue generate higher parking needs. Exhibits 2-20A and 20B
illustrate the morning and afternoon peak hour parking utilization rates along the study corridor.
Appendix J shows detailed parking inventory and parking utilization tables.

EXISTING LEVELS OF SERVICE
The Study Team used Synchro, a traffic modeling/analysis program, to evaluate existing traffic
conditions at the signalized intersections in the study area. Existing traffic volumes, lane
configurations, and signal timing were used to develop a base case traffic model. A traffic
simulation of the existing base case condition was then developed using SimTraffic, Synchros
associated traffic simulation software. SimTraffic was used at the public meetings to visually
depict the existing traffic flow condition on the major streets in the study area.
The level of service (LOS) was analyzed at all signalized intersections in the study area. The
LOS analysis uses a six-tier ranking from A to F to evaluate overall intersection capacity
compared to existing traffic volume. LOS A indicates a free flow and LOS F represents an
intersection capacity failure condition with long delays. A detailed definition of LOS is provided
in Appendix K.
Exhibits 2-21 show existing levels of service for the study area for the morning and afternoon
peak hours. In general, levels of service are slightly worse during the afternoon peak hour than
in the morning peak hour. It is also clear that the levels of service at critical intersections
worsened during the afternoon peak hour. This is due in part to the location of leisure activities
such as shopping near the critical intersections.
Generally, existing levels of service for the Military Road/Missouri Avenue corridor are at a
reasonable level, maintaining LOS C or better. Between Nebraska and Oregon Avenues, there
are six signal systems (including Nebraska and Oregon Avenues) with a LOS C or better and
with delay times ranging from 5 seconds to less than 30 seconds. This indicates that signals in
this section of Military Road are well coordinated. Similarly, three signals are located between
8th Street and 3rd Street section of Missouri Avenue. In this section of the study corridor, LOS is
C or better and the delay time was less than 30 seconds.
The worst level of service observed at a signalized intersection was at the Georgia Avenue
intersection. The average delay time at this intersection was over 2 minutes during morning and
afternoon peak hours, which is longer than one signal cycle length. Additionally, levels of
service for intersections at 13th Street (morning peak hour) and 41st Street (afternoon peak hour)
reach E during the peak hour, causing an average delay time of approximately one minute and
over one minute, respectively.
In addition to the twenty-two signalized intersections, two unsignalized intersections, 43rd Street
and 9th Street were analyzed. Levels of service at these intersections were measured using the
Highway Capacity Manual Unsignalized Intersection Capacity Analysis. Unsignalized
intersections allow the major street to be traveled without interruption or delay, while traffic on
the minor street often experienced lengthy delays trying to enter or cross the heavier major street
volumes. The analysis shows that for drivers at the 9th Street intersection, the average delay for
the minor street during the afternoon peak hours was almost one minute. Average delay times
experienced at 43rd Street was less than 20 seconds in both the morning and afternoon peak
hours.

3 FUTURE CONDITIONS
An important component of the transportation study is to estimate future conditions and evaluate
the impact of potential developments in the study area. In order to assess future traffic
conditions, the Study Team forecasted background growth and gathered information on future
developments such as development profiles and square footage by land use type.
A total of six proposed developments in the Friendship Heights area were identified which may
have some impact on traffic on Military Road, especially west of Rock Creek Park1. No future
developments were identified along the study corridor east of Rock Creek Park.
3.1
TRAFFIC FORECAST
In order to estimate the future conditions of the study area, it is important to understand the
background or natural traffic growth as well as the proposed development potential of the study
area. The future traffic impacts of background traffic growth and proposed developments over a
ten-year period (year 2013) were evaluated in the study area and compared with the existing
conditions. Future traffic impacts were carefully considered in the development of improvements
which will be discussed in Chapter 5.
3.1.1 Background Growth
To estimate the growth of background traffic, the Study Team compared historical trends with
traffic forecasts developed by DDOT and the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments
(MWCOG). The historical data showed significant fluctuations, with short periods of rapid
growth tempered by longer trends of slow or even negative growth. The MWCOG model,
Round 6.2, forecasts traffic growth from 2000 to 2010 at approximately 0.7 percent per year for
the northwest and northeast areas, Washington, DC. In addition, similar studies for the Palisades
and Takoma Park areas forecast background growth at 0.5 percent and 1.0 percent per year,
respectively. Therefore, the Study Team has adopted 0.7 percent per year as the background
growth factor for the Military Road/Missouri Avenue Corridor Transportation study.
3.1.2 Proposed Developments
The Study Team identified three proposed developments in the District of Columbia and three in
Montgomery County, Maryland. These sites are currently in various phases of the development
process. Exhibit 3-1 illustrates the locations with brief descriptions of the proposed projects.
The main source of development information for the study area was the District of Columbia Department of
Transportation (DDOT), Office of Planning, and the Friendship Heights Sector Plan adopted by Montgomery
County Department of Parks and Planning, 1998.

3.2
DEVELOPMENT TRAFFIC
The methodology recommended by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) was followed
to estimate the number of trips generated by the proposed developments. Based on the proposed
land uses, trip generation rates were obtained from the ITE Trip Generation Manual (6th Edition,
1997). These trip generation rates are then multiplied by the appropriate independent variable
(e.g., number of dwelling units, gross floor area or gross leasable area) to obtain the number of
trips generated by the development.
Because of the proximity to the Friendship Heights Metro and bus stations, a considerable
number of trips in the study area will use a mode of transportation other than automobile.
Therefore, the trip generation rates from the ITE Trip Generation Manual were adjusted to
account for the other modes. After the total number of trips generated by the proposed
developments was obtained, the trips were distributed on the street network. The initial trip
distribution was made based on a distribution provided by the Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) staff to the consultants who prepared the traffic impact
studies for the three developments in Montgomery County. This distribution indicated that 8% of
the trips produced by the developments would use Military Road.
Once on Military Road, the trips were assumed to follow trip patterns observed from the traffic
counts. Exhibit 3-2 summarizes the estimated additional trips generated by each development in
or near the study area (including Montgomery County). Exhibits 3-3A and 3-3B show peak hour
traffic volumes for the 26 intersections where detailed analyses were conducted, with the
proposed developments described in Exhibit 3-1.

FUTURE LEVELS OF SERVICE
Future traffic conditions (levels of service) were analyzed using the same methodology used to
analyze the level of service under existing conditions. Exhibit 3-4 shows the results from the
future traffic analysis, prior to evaluating the impact of proposed improvements. As expected,
the levels of service would worsen over time since the traffic volumes would increase. In
particular, levels of service for the intersections at Nebraska Avenue and Connecticut Avenue
during the morning peak hour and Kansas Avenue, 13th Street, Reno Road, and 41st Street during
afternoon peak hour would deteriorate to LOS E or F.

4 PROGRAMMED IMPROVEMENTS
The Study Team collected information about other scheduled improvements in the Military
Road/Missouri Avenue corridor study area that are currently underway or ongoing from the
District of Columbia Department of Transportation (DDOT). In Maryland, the Maryland National Capital Park & Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) has prepared a set of required
transportation improvement needs to be met by proposed developments in the Friendship Heights
community in Maryland near the Military Road intersection at Western Avenue.
4.1
ONGOING DDOT STREET CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
As part of DDOTs ongoing effort to improve roadways in Washington DC and as part of the
Wards 3 and 4 Roadway Improvement Project, selected side streets near the Military Road/
Missouri Avenue corridor have recently been or will be resurfaced or reconstructed. The
following streets in the study area are identified in the Wards 3 and 4 Roadway Improvement
Project:
Recently Completed Projects
Colorado Avenue between 13th Street and Missouri Avenue (resurfacing)
Nicholson Street between 13th Street and 14th Street (reconstruction)
Scheduled Projects
31st Street between Military Road and Nebraska Avenue (resurfacing)
Kanawha Street between Utah Avenue and 30th Street (reconstruction)
Livingston Street between Chevy Chase Parkway and 39th Street (reconstruction)
The expected completion date of these roadway improvements is summer 2004.
4.2 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS IN MONTGOMERY

COUNTY
Through discussions with the Transportation Planning Division of the Maryland-National Capital
Park & Planning Commission (M-NCPPC), the Study Team learned that the M-NCPPC requires
the following transportation improvements be made prior to the approval of the development
plans of GEICO, Hechts and the Chevy Chase Center in the Friendship Heights area:
The following lists are from a Memorandum, dated April 3, 2003, from the Transportation
Planning Division to the Development Review Division of the M-NCPPC regarding the
Preliminary and Project Plan for the Hechts development. The study-related improvements
were selected from the Memorandum for this report. Please note that all developments such as
the Chevy Chase Center development and GEICO also have to meet the requirements imposed
by the M-NCPPC.
1. Maintain a 120-foot right-of-way for Wisconsin Avenue
48
April, 2004
2. Maintain a 120-foot right-of-way for Western Avenue, including a 25-foot truncation at

Wisconsin Avenue
3. Provide separate left turn lane along eastbound and westbound Western Avenue at River
Road by restriping the existing lane designation and change the traffic signal phasing to
provide concurrent signal phasing along Western Avenue
4. Restripe the existing southbound Friendship Boulevard approach to the Western
Avenue/Jenifer Street intersection within the existing curbs from the existing one left turn
lane and one through/right lane to one left turn lane, one through lane, and one
through/right lane. A new signal phasing is needed at this intersection to provide split
phasing for Friendship Boulevard and Jenifer Street.
5. The applicant shall join the Friendship Heights Transportation Management Organization
and enter into a Traffic Mitigation Agreement with M-NCPPC and DPQT to assist in
attaining the objectives of the Transportation Management District, including making a
best effort to achieve and maintain a non-auto driver mode share of 39 percent of
employees. The Traffic Mitigation Agreement shall be included in the Site Plan
Enforcement Agreement for the proposed development.
6. Consensus was reached to provide a new landscaped median on Wisconsin Avenue that
would extend from Willard Avenue to Western Avenue where a new left turn lane would
be provided.
The above improvement recommendations by the M-NCPPC will directly impact the Friendship
Heights area, such that improved traffic movement on Western Avenue and Wisconsin Avenue
will enhance traffic flow on Military Road. They will also help reduce resident concerns
regarding cut-through traffic using local streets in the Friendship Heights area, especially during
peak periods.

5 ISSUES AND IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

5.1
INTRODUCTION
issues to be considered for the Military Road/Missouri Avenue corridor study area. This was
followed by field investigations, analysis and assessments of existing conditions and more public
meetings. The Study Team then developed preliminary recommended improvements and met
again with area residents to obtain comments and inputs. The following are the Study Teams
recommendations to improve safety and transportation operations in the study area. (Please note
that a community meeting handout explaining signal types and lane operations is available in
Appendix K.)
This chapter describes the key transportation issues in the corridor, and recommended
improvements to address the issues. The first section summarizes issues and short term and long
term improvements for the corridor. The second section and the third section describe the issues
and improvements for three major roadway segments and at the intersection level, respectively.
All discussions proceed from west to east.
Each component of the section is presented as follows:
5.2
Issue(s): states the concern, problem or need for improvement

Recommended Short-Term Improvement(s): various solutions that could potentially
address the issues and may be implemented within 12 months.
Recommended Long-Term Improvement(s): various solutions that could potentially
address the issues, but the implementation would generally take longer than 12 months.
Evaluation(s): analysis of recommendations.
CORRIDOR OVERVIEW
Issue(s):
The community stakeholders identified excessive speed as one of the major problems to
be addressed along the corridor. Speed studies confirmed that the mean speed
significantly exceeds the posted speed limits in three of the four locations where speed
surveys were conducted.
The posted speed limit is higher in the Rock Creek Park section of the corridor. Since this
segment of the corridor has controlled access, it is classified as a freeway facility and
does tend to have higher speeds. The high speeds in this segment make it difficult to
adjust to the lower speed limits on either side of the park.
Speed limit signs are present on many segments, but their visibility is sometimes
obscured by uncontrolled vegetation and/or less than ideal placement.
Congestion occurs at several key intersections. The congestion is documented by capacity
analysis and by queuing studies, which record the back-ups on the intersection
approaches.
50
April, 2004
A high level of pedestrian activity is evident at some of the intersections as indicated by

pedestrian counts. Adequate provisions for safe pedestrian crossings should be
maintained and improved where needed.
A number of intersections had high accident records. Corrective action should be taken
where problems can be identified.
Proper pavement markings are necessary for safe and efficient movement of vehicles and
pedestrians. Markings should be well maintained.
Adequate signage should be installed and maintained for the control of traffic operations.
Parking limits should be assessed and clearly defined.
The community stakeholders identified truck traffic as a problem. However, vehicle
classification counts indicated that heavy trucks constitute only 1.8% of the total traffic
volume. Since this corridor is classified as an arterial roadway and alternative truck
routing would have to be provided on other roads, it appears that displacement of the
truck traffic is not possible. It is, therefore, important to monitor and control the speed of
the truck traffic through the corridor, as this will reduce noise and vibration as well as
increase safety.
Recommended Short Term Improvement(s):
Monitor and enforce the posted speed limits.
Provide speed limit signage where visibility is good. Maintain vegetation and/or relocate
signs where they are not obstructed by vegetation.
Provide consistent location of speed limit signs, preferably just downstream from
intersections.
Provide clear warning signage at locations where speed limit zones change.
Provide adequate pavement markings for crosswalks, stop lines, lane lines, and lane use
designation. Due to heavy traffic volumes, markings need to be renewed often.
Provide adequate signage, including warning and regulatory signs as well as directional
signage.
Clearly delineate parking limits with proper signs and pavement markings.
Adjust signal timings to optimize allocation of green time for the current traffic flows.
Consider changes in signal phasing to improve capacity.
Identify locations where turn restrictions are needed.
Install red light running cameras at certain intersections (possibly on a rotating basis)
with advising signs.
Recommended Long Term Improvement(s):
Provide actuation of signal systems to reduce unnecessary stops and delays in the arterial
flow and to optimize the allocation of green time.
Provide efficient coordination of closely spaced intersections.
Construct accessible wheelchair ramps that conform to current ADA and DDOT
standards at all pedestrian crossings.
Construct limited roadway widening where necessary to increase capacity at congested
locations.
Evaluation(s):
Discussed in detail in the following sections.
51
April, 2004
5.3
CRITICAL ROADWAY SEGMENTS
5.3.1 Nebraska Avenue to 27th Street

Issue(s):
Four narrow (10 wide) travel lanes
A single left turning vehicle can block the left lane of travel. This encourages other
drivers to switch lanes.
High travel speeds through a residential area. This section of Military Road is located just
to the west of the higher speed area (35 mph) through Rock Creek Park.
Traffic signals located at low-volume side streets cause interruptions in the heavy arterial
flow on Military Road.
Hilly terrain limits sight distance and requires accelerating and decelerating on gradients.
High noise levels
Restripe this segment of Military Road. Replace the existing four narrow (10) lanes with
3 wider (12-14) lanes. Designate one lane for eastbound flow, one lane for westbound
flow, and the third as a two way left turn lane. Remove existing lane use markings and
install new markings and signs. See Exhibits 5-1 through 5-3.
Retime all signals to provide sufficient green time for the arterial flow. Increase the cycle
length and reduce the green time for the side streets.
Conduct 90-day trial period and monitor traffic operations to measure the changes in
flow, speed and safety records.
At low-volume side street intersections that do not meet the warrants in the Manual of
Uniform Traffic Control Devices, place the signals on flashing operation for a 90-day
trial period.
During the 90-day trial period, monitor traffic operations to measure the changes in flow,
speed and safety records.
If traffic operations are found to be acceptable, proceed to the long-term recommendation
to remove the signals at locations that do not meet warrants.
At locations where signals are warranted or determined necessary, install semi-actuated
traffic signal systems. Install pedestrian actuation equipment to allow safe crossing of
Military Road.
Evaluation(s):
Semi-actuated traffic signals at the medium-volume side streets will reduce the number
and duration of interruptions to the arterial flow of traffic on Military Road.
Reduced stops and starts on Military Road will reduce the potential of rear-end accidents.
Reduced stops and starts on Military Road will reduce the noise generated from
accelerating and decelerating vehicles.
Existing lane use with four narrow lanes provides a high potential for sideswipe
accidents.
Three-lane operation will provide lower and more uniform speeds.
52
April, 2004
Three-lane operation will remove left turning vehicles from the through lanes and
minimize lane-switching maneuvers.
Three-lane operation will make it easier for vehicles exiting from the unsignalized
intersections and alleyways to make left turns. With the current four-lane operation, leftturning vehicles must wait for gaps in the traffic flows in both directions before exiting.
However, with the proposed three-lane operation, left-turning vehicles can wait for a gap
in the traffic flow from one direction, then turn into the two-way left turn lane on Military
Road, then wait for a gap in the traffic flow in the other direction.

5.3.2 Missouri Avenue from 13th Street to Georgia Avenue

Issue(s):
Three closely spaced intersections at 13th Street, Colorado Avenue, and Georgia Avenue
Limited storage space available between adjacent intersections, especially between
Georgia and Colorado Avenues
Very tight reverse curve movements for through vehicles on Missouri Avenue.
Complex signal phasing at Georgia Avenue
High pedestrian volumes
High level of congestion as documented by queuing studies
Keep Right signs missing on the raised islands
Faded or missing pavement markings
Improve signal timings.
Simplify signal phasing.
Install broken yellow pavement markings to better define and separate the reverse curve
movement for Missouri Avenue through traffic.
Install Keep Right signs on the raised islands.
Provide visible lane use markings and signs.
Construct left turn storage lane for eastbound traffic at 13th Street.
Improve geometry for the Missouri Avenue through movement. See Exhibits 5-4 through
5-6.
Extend the raised median on Missouri Avenue through Colorado Avenue.
Limit turns at Colorado Avenue to right-in right-out.
Remove traffic signal at Colorado Avenue.
Construct left-turn storage lane for westbound traffic at 13th Street.
Construct a wide raised landscaped median between 14th and 13th Streets.
Evaluation(s):
Reducing from a three signal system to two will simplify traffic operations and improve
capacity and safety.
If adequate provisions are made for left turns at 13th Street, then left turns at Colorado
Avenue can be reasonably relocated.
A wide raised landscaped median will provide a boulevard look and feel and will reduce
the perceived pavement width. These factors will lead to lower operating speeds.
Establishing protected left turn lanes will remove these vehicles from the through lane
and provide improved safety and capacity for these movements. Allowing left turns at
13th Street will mitigate the restriction of left turns at Colorado Avenue. (Details on the
following section.).

5.3.3 Missouri Avenue from 9th Street to 3rd Street

Issue(s):
Speeds along this segment exceed the posted speed limit.
The straight alignment and flat grades encourage higher speeds.
Heavy pedestrian traffic, crossing four lanes of high-speed traffic, creates more potential
for unsafe conditions.
Acute intersection angles at the crossing of Madison Street and Longfellow create large
open pavement sections and intensive conflict areas.
Multiple streets intersecting at one location create 6-legged intersections, resulting in a
large number of conflict points.
Left turns from the side streets (Madison and Longfellow) create sharp-angle conflicts.
Restripe this segment of Missouri Avenue. Replace four narrow lanes (10 +/-) with 3
wider lanes (12 14). Designate one lane for eastbound flow, one lane for westbound
flow, and the third as a two way left turn lane. Remove existing lane use markings and
install new markings and signs. See Exhibits 5-7 through 5-9.
Retime all signals to provide sufficient green time for the arterial flow. Increase the cycle
length and reduce the green time for the side streets.
Existing lane usage with four narrow lanes provides a high potential for sideswipe
accidents.
Designate Madison Street one-way westbound between 5th Street and Missouri Avenue.
Prohibit left turns from Madison Street and 6th Street onto Missouri Avenue.
Designate Longfellow one-way westbound between 3rd Place and Missouri Avenue.
Prohibit left turns from Longfellow and 4th Street onto Missouri Avenue.
Install semi-actuated traffic signal systems at the medium-volume side streets. Install
pedestrian actuation equipment to allow the safe crossing of Military Road.
Install a raised median island on Missouri Avenue from just west of 6th Street to just east
of Madison Street.
Install a raised median island on Missouri Avenue from just west of 4th Street to just east
of Longfellow Street.
Evaluation(s):
Three-lane operation will provide lower and more uniform speeds.
Three-lane operation will remove left turning vehicles from the through lanes and
minimize lane-switching maneuvers.
Three-lane operation will make it easier to make left turns from the side streets that do
not have signals.
Semi-actuated traffic signals at medium-volume side streets will reduce the number and
duration of interruptions to the arterial flow of traffic on Missouri Avenue.
Minimized stops and starts on Missouri Avenue will reduce the potential of rear-end
accidents and the noise generated from accelerating and decelerating vehicles.
61
April, 2004
Existing lane usage with four lanes encourages higher speeds as vehicles try to pass other
vehicles.
Designation of one-way streets reduces the number of turning movements and conflict
points.
Elimination of acute-angle left turns will improve the safety of the intersection.
Installation of a raised median island will provide a positive barrier to control the
prohibited movements.

queuing problems.
69
April, 2004
5.4.3 Military Road/42nd Street Intersection

Issue(s):
Limited sight distance for vehicles entering onto Military Road from 42nd Street
Queuing on Military Road heading eastbound caused by the 41st Street intersection can
extend beyond 42nd Street westward, blocking the intersection.
Although 42nd Street northbound approach at Military Road is signed for Right Turn

5.4.4
Military Road/41st Street/Reno Road Intersection
Looking East
Looking South
Issue(s):
There is excessive queuing on Military Road heading eastbound, especially during the
afternoon peak hour. The queuing has been observed to extend all the way back to
Western Avenue. Excessive queuing encourages drivers to seek other travel routes.
Confusing intersection for drivers due to proximity of the two signal systems
Due to poor signal timing, the existing signal system gives preference to the lower
volume roads (41st Street and Reno Road) compared to the arterial street, Military Road.
During afternoon peak-hours, Reno Road currently has a 35 second green phase, Military
Road has a 25 second green phase, and 41st Street northbound has a 15 second green
phase. The side streets are allocated more green time (40 seconds) than Military Road (35
seconds) even though more than twice the traffic uses Military Road compared to Reno
Road.
Limited left turn movements allowed.
Signal phase timing needs to be reset.
Improve intersection signage to eliminate confusion.
Install a red light camera system to assist in monitoring prohibited movements and red
light running.
Install vehicular detection equipment on all approaches.
Install a fully-actuated traffic control system.
Restripe the Military Road eastbound approach to provide a 150 long right turn lane.
Prohibit parking within the limits of the turn lane. See Exhibit 5-11.
If above short-term and long-term recommendations do not resolve the excessive queuing
problem at this intersection, the following alternatives may be considered.
ALTERNATIVE 1: Close 41st Street south of the intersection by placing a temporary
double faced Jersey Barrier across the southern section of 41st Street. This will convert
71
April, 2004
the intersection into a simple four-legged intersection. Advance signage (e.g. No

Outlet) would be required at Jenifer Street and a small turn-around would need to be
constructed. Remove the appropriate signal phase and retime remaining phases. This
improvement should be tested for at least 90 days before making the traffic movement
change permanent.
If Alternative 1 is selected, monitor the intersection for a 90-day period. After the 90-day
trial period, replace the double-faced Jersey Barrier across southern section of 41st Street
with a raised grassed panel or planter to make the closure permanent. Allow a path for
bicycle and pedestrian passage.
ALTERNATIVE 2: Make 41st Street one-way southbound from Military Road to Jenifer
Street.
If Alternatives 1 or 2 are implemented, accommodations for bicycles will need to be
maintained.
Evaluation(s):
Retiming the signal will reduce the green time that is currently given to Reno Road and
41st Street, which have lower traffic volumes than Military Road. Allotting the additional
green time to Military Road will help reduce much of the severe queuing problem.
Observe the operation of the intersection after coordinating with the Western Avenue
signals to measure the improvement in the flow of traffic, especially for Military Road
eastbound.
Reducing the queues at this intersection should help to reduce the number of accidents.
A red light camera will help reduce illegal left turn movements and red light running that
decrease capacity and create safety concerns.
Operation as an independent, fully-actuated signal will optimize the approach of green
time to the approaches with the greatest demand. This will increase capacity and reduce
delay for all vehicles.
The construction of a separate right turn lane on eastbound Military Road for both 41st
and Reno Road will remove the right turning vehicles from the through lanes and allow a
higher capacity for the eastbound approach.
With Alternatives 1 or 2, the 41st Street approach will be removed from the signal
operation and the intersection will be simplified, enabling it to operate at an improved
level of service. These alternatives should only be considered if the other measures
considered above are not successful in improving the operations at this intersection.
A modern roundabout was evaluated for the potential implementation at the intersection.
However, due to local community opposition, the roundabout alternative has been
dropped from further consideration.

Evaluation(s):
Clearing the overgrown vegetation from in front of the speed limit signs will make the
sign more prominent and make drivers aware of the legal speed limit.
Monitor any changes in the accident type and frequency after improvements.
Observe traffic operations in the field during peak hours to quantify implementation of
the improvements in the flow of traffic.
Actuated signal equipment will maximize capacity and minimize delay. During peak
traffic periods, the signal systems can operate on a coordinated mode to optimize the
75
April, 2004
through movement for the primary traffic flow with semi-actuated control on the side
streets to minimize interruptions. During the off-peak conditions, the signal systems can
operate on a fully-actuated mode to minimize stops and delays for all vehicles.

turning traffic from the through lane, resulting in improved safety and capacity.
Clear definition of lane utilization will improve capacity and safety.
The establishment of parking limits will improve safety and capacity.
A wider raised landscaped median will provide a boulevard look and feel, and will reduce
the perceived pavement width and will lower operating speeds.
89
April, 2004
Looking West
Looking North
Issue(s):
There is no separate left turn lane for the east/west movements. Although left turns are
prohibited in the peak hours, drivers were observed making these movements, creating
both safety and capacity problems.
Wide pavement area on the westerly approach promotes high speeds.
Capacity constraints at the two signalized intersections to the east (Colorado and Georgia
Avenues) result in extensive queuing for eastbound vehicles.
Tour bus traffic has no safe place to park and unload riders visiting the Historic Military
Road School2.
Install better signage for prohibited turns. Consider the use of internally illuminated
signs.
Install a protected left turn lane for eastbound vehicles.
Relocate the existing island light pole.
Restrict parking on the northbound approach for 13th Street and also on the northbound
departure between the hours of 4:00PM to 6:30PM. This will permit a two lane operation
of 13th Street and decrease the signal timing for this phase.
Construct a wider raised landscaped median between 14th and 13th Streets.

Military Road School was initially built during the Civil War when black refugees sought protection under the watch of the Union military. The
outline of the original schoolhouse is still visible on the construction plans for the present building. Today's Military Road School stands at 1375
Missouri Avenue and was constructed in 1912, serving as one of the District of Columbia's first public schools for freedmen.
The Military Road School is a two story high red brick building with three bays and full English basement.
Ninety two years after its construction, the Military Road School still retains its historical connection with the struggle by African Americans to
secure the benefits of public education.
The school holds special significance to residents of the District of Columbia because it served as the only school available to African
Americans in upper northwest Washington, D.C. until the end of Jim Crow laws. After public school desegregation, the Military Road School
was closed in 1954, and has been used for various public and education activities since that time.

Construct a left turn storage lane for westbound traffic at 13th Street.
Install lane use signage.
See the additional discussion on this segment of the roadway in Section 5.3.2 above.
Install pavement markings along the north side of Missouri Avenue to block out 60 m of
parking area for buses within the current on street parking area.
Install two No Parking Bus Stop 8 AM 4 PM signs, one on either end of the 60 m
blocked out area.
Evaluation(s):
A wider raised landscaped median will provide a boulevard look and feel and will reduce
the perceived pavement width. These factors will lead to lower operating speeds.
Establishing protected left turn lanes will remove these vehicles from the through lane
and provide improved safety and capacity for these movements. Allowing left turns at
this intersection will mitigate the restriction of left turns at Colorado Avenue as
recommended below.
The 60 m area of parking in-front of the school will provide a safe location for buses to
drop off their passenger and park.
Placing a time limit for the bus parking (8AM to 4PM) will allow the local residents to
park in this area over night without eliminating any needed parking spaces.
5.4.18 Missouri Avenue/Colorado Avenue Intersection
Looking West
Looking North
Issue(s):
This intersection is located very close to the major signalized intersection at Georgia
Avenue.
Left turns onto Colorado Avenue pose a safety hazard since turns must be made from the
heavy westbound through lane. The left turn is immediately located downstream from the
difficult reverse movement through the Georgia Avenue intersection.
Left turns from Colorado Avenue are dangerous due to the poor visibility of opposing
vehicles on Missouri Avenue.

Limit turns at Colorado Avenue to right-in, right-out. The left turns can be made at the
improved 13th Street intersection.
See further discussion of this segment of road in Section 5.3.2 above.
Evaluation(s):
Removal of the signal at Colorado Avenue will simplify the operations of the other
closely spaced signals on Missouri Avenue located at Georgia Avenue and at 13th Street.
A reduction in signal clearance timings will allow the signal system at Georgia Avenue to
operate more efficiently.
Additional storage will be available for the eastbound flow at Georgia Avenue.
The elimination of left turns at this intersection will improve safety. Left turns can be
accommodated at the improved intersection at 13th Street, where protected left turn lanes
are recommended.

This intersection experiences a high accident record with 27 recorded crashes over a
three-year period. Of the 27 total crashes, 18 were right-angle incidents.
The Paul Junior High School located in the northeast quadrant
No parking restrictions on 9th Street
As noted in Section 5.3.3 above, it is recommended that this section of Missouri Avenue
be converted from a four-lane into a three-lane operation.
Restripe the missing lane markings.
Provide parking lane striping along the 9th Street approach.
Install a No Parking Here to Corner sign on the 9th Street approach.
This intersection should be monitored to determine if signals are warranted.
Evaluation(s):
The establishment of the three-lane operation will reduce the number of conflict points
for vehicles entering from the side street onto or across Missouri Avenue. With the
current four-lane operation, vehicles must cross four lanes. The view of the far lanes is
often blocked by vehicles in the other lanes.
The establishment of a three-lane section will reduce vehicle speeds.
The establishment of an exclusive left turn lane will enhance the turning movements.

Install a fully-actuated signal system to more efficiently allocate signal timings for the
multiple phases.
Restrict parking on the northbound approach for Kansas Avenue and also on the
northbound departure between the hours of 4:00PM to 6:30PM. This will permit the two
lane operation of Kansas Avenue and decrease the signal timing for this phase.
Evaluation(s):
Proper timing improves the efficiency of operations.
5.4.25 Missouri Avenue/ 2nd Street Intersection
Issue(s):
Intersection has high pedestrian traffic.
The Randolph Elementary school is located 2 blocks south of this intersection.
Insufficient gaps in traffic for safe pedestrian crossing. Heavy left turn movement occurs
just to the west of 2nd Street from eastbound Missouri Avenue to eastbound Kennedy
Street. This movement often blocks one lane of traffic for eastbound Missouri Avenue
and will adversely effect the operation of the proposed signal at 2nd Street.
Intersection improvements currently are under design by DDOT. The improvements will
include the installation of a new traffic signal system.
The design of the signal system at 2nd Street should include provisions to adequately
handle the heavy left turn at Kennedy Street. Consideration should be given to
eliminating the left turn at Kennedy Street, accommodating the left turns at 2nd Street,
widening Missouri Avenue to provide an exclusive left turn lane, and making the section
of Kennedy Street between Missouri Avenue and 2nd Street one-way westbound.
Making Kennedy Street one-way between Missouri Avenue and 2nd Street will allow the
reduction in the paved width of this section of road and will create an opportunity to
establish a small park in the triangular piece of land bounded by Kennedy Street,
Missouri Avenue and 2nd Street.
Any of the improvements listed in the short-term improvements that are not implemented
in the current design of the 2nd Street signal should be considered for long term
implementation.
99
April, 2004
Evaluation(s):
Installation of a traffic signal will provide a safe pedestrian crossing.
The addition of an exclusive left turn lane for eastbound vehicles will remove the heavy
volume of left turning vehicles from the through movement, improving the capacity and
safety of the intersection.

Issue(s):
Faded lane markings
The wheelchair ramp in the northeast quadrant does not conform to ADA and DDOT
standards.
Parking on the southbound side of New Hampshire Avenue between Missouri Avenue
and Ingraham Street restricts the traffic flow to one lane. This reduces the effectiveness of
the two southbound lanes on New Hampshire Avenue and creates a potential safety
hazard on the downstream side of the intersection.
Location has high accident history with 32 crashes in a three-year period.
Install No Parking signs along the southbound side of New Hampshire Avenue
between Missouri Avenue and Ingraham Street.
Establish a merge lane with pavement markings and signs south of Missouri Avenue and
prior to Ingraham Street.
Reconstruct the northeast quadrant wheelchair ramp to meet current ADA and DDOT
standards.
Install a fully-actuated traffic control system. This system should interconnect and
coordinate with the signals at North Capitol Street and at Blair Road.

April, 2004
Evaluation(s):
A well-defined merge lane will improve the effectiveness and capacity for the two-lane
southbound New Hampshire Avenue movement and will improve safety.
Improved signal timing will help reduce the delays and queues.
A fully-actuated signal system will optimize the allocation of green time for the differing
traffic flows throughout the day.

6 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Study Team conducted an extensive evaluation of transportation conditions in the Military
Road/Missouri Avenue Transportation study area. The main goals of this study were to examine
existing and future transportation conditions and determine short-term and long-term
improvements to 1) reduce incidents of excessive vehicular speed, 2) reduce traffic congestion,
especially during morning and evening peak hours thereby encouraging traffic to stay on major
arterials and avoid cutting through neighborhood streets, 3) improve traffic and pedestrian safety,
and 4) better manage truck traffic. The Scope of Work for the Military Road/Missouri Avenue
Transportation Study is provided in Appendix L.
The study was conducted with the assistance of area residents. The Study Team held several
meetings with area residents to discuss existing transportation issues (see Appendix M for public
meeting summary). The area residents provided additional input via e-mail, regular
correspondence, and meetings with DDOT representatives. Inputs received via e-mail are
presented in Appendix N. The Study Team also held several meetings with representatives of
key local agencies, including the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (MNCPPC), and the Advisory Neighborhood Commission commissioners. Residents and public
agency representatives provided essential input to the Study Team to identify key transportation
issues and future levels of development in the study area.
6.1
TRANSPORTATION ISSUES
The Study Team identified a wide range of existing and future transportation issues.
Issues regarding traffic operations stem from congestion at major arterial crossings.
Excessive speeding and complex lane crossings contribute to high number of accident at
some intersections.
Many pedestrian crossing markings are in poor condition and several intersections with
high pedestrian activity do not have actuated pedestrian signal phases.
Four schools are located within a few blocks of the corridor. As may be expected, higher
volumes of pedestrian crossing were observed during morning and afternoon peak hours
at the intersections close to the schools.
Limited on-street parking spaces are available along the study corridor. Parking needs
are mostly met by local side streets. Parking utilization of available spaces is higher near
intersections with commercial and retail activities (e.g. Connecticut Avenue and
Western/Wisconsin Avenues). Some instances of commercial parking violations for
truck loading and unloading were observed.
Bicycle issues included the need for designated bicycle routes to the Metro station and for
an officially designated bicycle path through Rock Creek Park.
These issues are summarized in Exhibits 6-1A through 6-1D.

TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
issues for the study area followed by extensive data collection, field investigations, and
assessments of existing conditions. The Study Team then developed suggested improvements
and met again with area residents to obtain feedback. Exhibits 6-2A through 6-2D summarize
recommendations to improve pedestrian and traffic safety and transportation operations along the
Military Road/Missouri Avenue corridor.

Since traffic volumes in the study area will continue to grow, traffic conditions will continue to
deteriorate if no improvements are undertaken. Intersections where the LOS is already below C
will continue to get worse during the 10-year study horizon. The transportation improvements
discussed in this report, in tandem with signal optimization, will significantly improve most
signalized intersections studied to achieve LOS C or better and reduce the average delay time.
The average delay experienced at the Georgia Avenue intersection will be significantly reduced
by 88 percent (from more than 2 and a half minutes to less than 30 seconds) due to a simplified
lane configuration.
Signalized intersections such as Connecticut Avenue, Nebraska Avenue and North Capitol Street
are arterials with heavy traffic volumes crossing Military Road/Missouri Avenue. These
intersections remained at a LOS D even after the proposed improvements. The average delay
time for these intersections was improved by various degrees. Major transportation
improvements along these arterial corridors may be needed to provide a LOS C or better.
As discussed in Chapter 5, three lane configuration is recommended for Military Road/Missouri
Avenue between Nebraska Avenue and 27th Street and between 8th Street and 3rd Street. This
recommendation represents a trade-off between residents and through travelers. Resident safety
and satisfaction will be increased as excessive speeding, accompanying noise, and vibrations will
be greatly reduced, and a modest increase in through traveler delays. Based on resident concerns
and observed speeding behavior, the trade-off seems appropriate. All affected intersections will
still achieve LOS C or better except for the 32nd Street intersection during the morning peak hour
will have LOS D.
Exhibit 6-3 presents a comparison of existing and projected LOS for the year 2013 with and
without recommended improvements discussed in the report. More details on forecast year 2013
intersection capacity analysis results with improvements and optimized signal systems are
presented in Appendix O. Planning cost estimates for these improvements are presented in
Appendix P. Implementation of the recommended mitigation measures will be essential to the
continued growth and prosperity of the communities along the Military Road and Missouri
Avenue corridor.

Short-Term Improvements
1. Signal phase timing needs to be reset.
2. Improve intersection signage to eliminate confusion.
3. Install a red light camera system to assist in monitoring prohibited
movements and red light running.
1. Restripe the existing lane markings.
2. Restripe the pedestrian crosswalks to
current DDOT standards.
3. Establish parking limits with striping on
the side streets.
4. Relocate the EB speed limit sign to the far
side of intersection.
5. Install a new WB speed limit sign on the
far side of the intersection.
Long-Term Improvements
1. Install vehicular detection equipment on all approaches.
2. Install a fully-actuated traffic control system.
3. Restripe the Military Rd. EB approach to provide a 150 long right turn
lane. Prohibit parking within the limits of the turn lane. See Exhibit 5-11.
If above short-term and long-term recommendations do not resolve the
excessive queuing problem at this intersection, the following alternatives
may be considered.
1. ALTERNATIVE 1: Close 41st St. south of the intersection by placing a
temporary double faced Jersey Barrier across the southern section of 41st
St. Advance signage (e.g. No Outlet) would be required at Jenifer St.
and a small turn-around would need to be constructed. Remove the
appropriate signal phase and retime remaining phases.
2. If Alternative 1 is selected, monitor the intersection for a 90-day period.
After the 90-day trial period, replace the double-faced Jersey Barrier
across southern section of 41st St. with a raised grassed panel or planter to
make the closure permanent. Allow a path for bicycle and pedestrian
passage.
3. ALTERNATIVE 2: Make 41st St. one-way SB from Military Rd. to
Jenifer St.
4. If Alternatives 1 or 2 are implemented, accommodations for bicycles will
need to be maintained.
1. Install traffic signal detection equipment
on the side street to permit semi-actuated
signal operations.
2. Install pedestrian push buttons to actuate
the side street signal phase.

If above short-term and long-term recommendations do not resolve the
excessive queuing problem at this intersection, the following alternatives
may be considered.
1. ALTERNATIVE 1: Close 41st St. south of the intersection by placing a
temporary double faced Jersey Barrier across the southern section of 41st
St. Advance signage (e.g. No Outlet) would be required at Jenifer St.
and a small turn-around would need to be constructed. Remove the
appropriate signal phase and retime remaining phases.
2. If Alternative 1 is selected, monitor the intersection for a 90-day period.
After the 90-day trial period, replace the double-faced Jersey Barrier
across southern section of 41st St. with a raised grassed panel or planter to
make the closure permanent. Allow a path for bicycle and pedestrian
passage.
3. ALTERNATIVE 2: Make 41st St. one-way SB from Military Rd. to

left turn with the WB left turn.
3. Consider a fully actuated signal system.
4. Install flashing School Zone signs with timers.
5. Incorporate the recommended improvements to bicycle
accommodations based on the upcoming DC Bicycle
Master Plan. Consideration should be given to the
construction of a bicycle path easterly through Rock
Creek Park. The recommended location is on the north
side of Military Rd., much of which is already
protected by a guardrail. The path is feasible, but will
be expensive to construct.

1. Intersection improvements currently are under
design by DDOT. The improvements will
include the installation of a new traffic signal
system.
2. The design of the signal system at 2nd St. should
include provisions to adequately handle the
heavy left turn at Kennedy St. Consideration
should be given to eliminating the left turn at
Kennedy St., accommodating the left turns at
2nd St., widening Missouri Ave. to provide an
exclusive left turn lane, and making the section
of Kennedy St. between Missouri Ave. and 2nd
St. one-way WB.
3. Making Kennedy St. one-way between Missouri
Ave. and 2nd St. will allow the reduction in the
paved width of this section of road and will
create an opportunity to establish a small park in
the triangular piece of land bounded by Kennedy
