Road Safety Audit—High and Maple Streets – Holyoke, MA
Background
Several intersections along High Street and Maple Street in Holyoke, Massachusetts are recognized as
high-crash locations. As part of a project to upgrade traffic signals at multiple intersections along High
Street and Maple Street (MassDOT Project ID 606450) that is to be funded in 2017 under the
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission (PVPC) region,
a Road Safety Audit (RSA) of 15 intersections was conducted. The Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) defines an RSA as a formal safety examination of, in this case, existing intersections that is
performed by a multidisciplinary team that includes individuals who are independent of the design
project. The purpose of an RSA is to identify potential safety issues and possible opportunities for safety
improvements considering all roadway users, including motorists, transit users, bicyclists, and
pedestrians. The RSA proposes to identify potential short-term and long-term safety improvements that
can be made at the intersections and implemented through general maintenance in the short term at low
cost or be incorporated into the planned signal upgrade project to the greatest extent practicable.

An RSA was completed in March 2014 for Dwight Street at Maple Street and Dwight Street at High
Street by BETA Group, Inc. for MassDOT as well as a Transportation and Safety Study that was
completed in May 2009 for Resnic Boulevard at Maple Street by PVPC. The recommendations of these
two reports have been largely included in this RSA.
Project Location and Description
Maple Street and High Street, shown in Figure 1, are part of a grid network of streets covering the City of
Holyoke's downtown core and Churchill neighborhood. Maple Street and High Street are parallel oneway streets that are one block apart, intersect numerous streets, and are both functionally classified as
Urban Principal Arterials. Maple Street allows southbound traffic while High Street allows northbound
traffic. Maple Street and High Street through the RSA study area, from Resnic Boulevard to Lyman
Street, are both approximately 1.1 miles in length. The intersecting streets that are included in this RSA
run mainly northwest-southeast and allow two-way travel. Resnic Boulevard is split by direction with a
large grass/vegetation median block at its intersections with High Street, Maple Street, and the I-391
ramps. The intersecting streets have the following functional classifications:
•
•

Traffic signals along Maple Street and High Street are pretimed and function with a two-phase operation.
The exception to this is at the four intersections of Maple Street and High Street at Resnic Boulevard and
the I-391 ramps, which all operate on one traffic signal controller with a three-phase operation.
Pedestrian signals are present at some of the signalized intersections although many of which are not
properly functioning at the current time. Intersections that have working pedestrian signals operate with
pedestrian phasing that is concurrent with the vehicle phasing. The exception to this is the intersection of
Maple Street at Lyman Street, which has an exclusive pedestrian phase. Sidewalks are present along most
of the study area. On-street parking is present along most of Maple Street and High Street to the northeast
of Resnic Boulevard as well as the intersecting cross streets. Individual intersections in the audit are
discussed below.
High Street at Resnic Boulevard and Interstate (I-391) Ramps
High Street at Resnic Boulevard and the I-391
ramps is split into two intersections, one for
Resnic Boulevard northbound at the I-391 off
ramp and one for Resnic Boulevard southbound
at the I-391 on ramp. High Street is an Urban
Principal Arterial. Both are four-leg
intersections. The two High Street approaches
are striped with four lanes. Resnic Boulevard has
a two-lane approach at High Street and the I-391
on ramp. The I-391 off ramp has a three-lane
approach to High Street and Resnic Boulevard
northbound, with the rightmost lane designated as
a right-turn-only lane to High Street. Land use is
primarily commercial in the direct vicinity of
these intersections. On-street parking is
prohibited adjacent to these intersections, with
the exception of along High Street northeast of
the I-391 off ramp. Sidewalks are provided on
the eastern side of High Street at these locations.

The Holyoke Police Department provided crash data for the 3-year period from 2012 through 2014.
Seventeen crashes occurred at this intersection. Review of the crash data finds that these two
intersections experienced 38 crashes from 2012 through 2014. Sixteen of the crashes resulted in injuries.
Angle collisions are the predominant collision type, which comprised 42% of all the crashes at High
Street at the Resnic Boulevards and the I-391 ramps. Other prevalent collision types were rear-end
crashes (29%) and same-direction sideswipe crashes (16%). One accident occurred that involved a
bicyclist and a left-turning motor vehicle at High Street and Resnic Boulevard northbound, which
occurred on the afternoon of September 5, 2013 during clear weather. The majority of the 38 crashes
occurred during the daytime between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., with the noon to 2:00 p.m. period
experiencing 21% of the crashes. Eighty-four percent of the crashes occurred during daylight conditions.

Maple Street at Resnic Boulevard is also split
into two intersections, one at Resnic
Boulevard northbound and one at Resnic
Boulevard southbound. Both are four-leg
intersections. The two Maple Street
approaches are striped with three lanes.
Maple Street and Resnic Boulevard are Urban
Principal Arterials. A lane use sign is present
on Maple Street upstream of Resnic
Boulevard northbound. Maple Street
downstream of the intersection with Resnic
Boulevard southbound has a short merge
section for two of the three lanes. Resnic
Boulevard northbound has a two-lane
approach at Maple Street. Resnic Boulevard
has a three-lane approach at Maple Street,
with the rightmost lane designated as a rightMaple Street at Resnic Boulevard –
turn-only lane to Maple Street. Land use is

commercial in the direct vicinity of these two
intersections and includes the Fitzpatrick Ice Skating Rink at the northwest corner. On-street parking is
prohibited adjacent to these intersections.
Crash data was provided by the Holyoke Police Department for the 3-year period from 2012 through
2014. Forty-eight traffic crashes occurred at these two intersections from 2012 through 2014, and 16 of
the crashes resulted in injuries. The most frequent collision type classified was angle collisions, which
comprised 46% of all the crashes at Maple Street at the Resnic Boulevards. The second most frequent
collision type was rear-end collisions (35%) followed
by same-direction sideswipe crashes (10%). Two
crashes involved bicyclists and a right-turning motor
vehicle, one at Resnic Boulevard northbound and one
at Resnic Boulevard southbound. Both of these
crashes occurred during daylight and dry conditions. A
slight majority of the crashes at Maple Street and the
Resnic Boulevards (23%) occurred during the early
evening between 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eighty-one
percent of the crashes occurred during daylight
conditions.
A single controller at the northeast corner of Resnic
Boulevard and the I-391 on ramps at High Street
manages all four signals mentioned in the previous
paragraphs.

Audit Observations and Potential Safety
Enhancements
Field observations at each intersection in this RSA were made by the audit team following a group review
of the crash history and safety concerns/issues. Existing geometric and traffic control conditions as well
as midday traffic operations were observed. A number of potential safety enhancements were then
identified and discussed during the audit. Below is a summary of observed safety concerns/issues and
potential safety enhancements. There are a number of corridor-wide safety issues and potential
enhancements as well as those specific to individual intersections.
Corridor-Wide Concerns/Issues and Potential Enhancements:
Traffic Signals
1. Clearance Intervals
•
Concern/Issue: Traffic signal clearance intervals (yellow and all-red timings) at many of the
intersections appear to be too short. The all-red interval does not exist at some intersections due
to the vintage of the controller equipment. Red light running and certain collision types (angle
and rear-end collisions) may be occurring at least in part to this issue.
Potential Enhancement: Upgrade outdated signal controller equipment and calculate/program
the clearance intervals based on latest standards. In the short term, the City of Holyoke needs to
update the clearance intervals.
Page 12
Road Safety Audit—High and Maple Streets – Holyoke, MA
2. Coordination
•
Concern/Issue: Some of the intersections along the High Street and/or Maple Street corridors
are reportedly not currently operating as part of the interconnected signal system such as the
locations operating on flash, Cabot Street at High Street, and Suffolk Street at Maple Street.
Potential Enhancement: Upgrade outdated signal equipment to provide signal artery
coordination.
•
Concern/Issue: Pretimed traffic signals are a concern because they can lead to red light running
by some motorists if there is a perception that the signal is operating inefficiently. A pretimed
signal will give the side street a green light every cycle regardless if there is traffic on the side
street approach. Some motorists on the artery may decide to run their red light rather than wait
through the entire side street green phase. Pretimed traffic signals can also cause unnecessary
traffic delays.
Potential Enhancement: Install vehicle detection and upgrade the controller equipment as
necessary in order to operate the signals as fully actuated. Fully actuated operation requires
detectors on all approaches, and the right-of-way does not automatically go to a designated phase
unless a particular phase is recalled by the controller.
3. Signal Heads
•
Concern/Issue: Many of the intersections have signal heads with 8-inch lenses or a mix of 8inch and 12-inch lenses. Current MassDOT standards require 12-inch lenses on all new traffic
signal installations, which increases the visibility of the signal indication.
Potential Enhancement: Upgrade to all 12-inch LED signal heads as part of Project No. 606450
•
Concern/Issue: A number of the intersections have signal heads
that do not have or are missing visors. Motorists can have
difficulty telling if a signal is green, yellow, or red at signal heads
that do not have visors, especially when there is sun glare.
Potential Enhancement: Upgrade to all signal heads with visors
as part of Project No. 606450
•
Concern/Issue: None of the intersections have signal heads with
Existing signal heads
backplates. Add backplates to signal heads to improve visibility
of the signal indication. Signal heads can also be made more conspicuous be framing the
backplate with a retroreflective border.
Potential Enhancement: Install backplates with retroreflective borders on all signal heads as
part of Project No. 606450. This enhancement can help reduce unintentional red light running.
Consider the necessity of programmable heads where intersections are in close proximity of one
another.
Page 13
Road Safety Audit—High and Maple Streets – Holyoke, MA
•
•
Concern/Issue: Secondary signal heads for side streets are
mounted on the mast pole and are not over a vehicle lane. At
least two overhead signal heads for an approach should be
provided for increased visibility.
Potential Enhancement: Install two far-side heads for each
approach on new mast arms. Consideration should be made for
supplemental post-mounted signals.
Signal heads with back
plates and retroreflective
border
Concern/Issue: Traffic signal preemption equipment, which can allow approaching emergency
vehicles as well as transit buses to preempt the normal programmed signal timing and phasing
and pass through the intersection without delay, was noticed to be limited to only a handful of the
intersections.
Potential Enhancement: Install signal preemption throughout the RSA study area.
4. Signal Operation
•
Concern/Issue: The signals operate on flashing during overnight hours. There are times when
locations are malfunctioning and remain in flash such as:
o
o
o
o
o
Appleton Street at High Street
Cabot Street at High Street
Cabot Street at Maple Street
Suffolk Street at Maple Street
Jackson Street at Maple Street
While flashing operation due to a signal malfunction is standard, numerous crashes occurred
when signals were on flashing, and several of the crashes were specifically attributed to the
flashing operations in the crash reports. It was noted by a team member that crashes still occur
while the signals operate on flash at the intersection of Cabot and High Streets.
Potential Enhancement: Eliminate overnight flashing operation. Additionally, long periods of
signal malfunction should be avoided since the longer a signal operates on flashing operation the
more there will be an increased likelihood of crashes in connection with the flashing (as shown in
the crash data). A large part of the reason why the signals operate on flashing for extended
periods of time when they are malfunctioning is reportedly due to the vintage of the signal
equipment and difficulty associated with acquiring replacement parts that must be custom made.
The locations should not be left to remain in flashing operation for extended periods of time. This
problem is expected to be lessened with the signal equipment upgrade project.
5. Signal Policy
•
Concern/Issue: It was noted that during the group discussions that the city policy on traffic
control maintenance and management could be improved. In particular, the maintenance of
traffic signals is done by the Fire Department while maintenance of streets and signage is done by
the Department of Public Works.
Page 14
Road Safety Audit—High and Maple Streets – Holyoke, MA
Potential Enhancement: All traffic-related maintenance and management should be done by the
same department, and coordination is required between departments if no changes are
implemented.
Speed
•
Concern/Issue: Speeding by some motorists was noticed during the field
observations.
Potential Enhancement: While speeding is often a function of a number of
things, one possible way to address speeding along a corridor of coordinated
signals is to inform motorists that they will be able to pass through several
signals in succession if they maintain a certain travel speed usually set at or
just above the regulatory speed limit. If motorists are aware that they will be
able to get multiple green lights in a row as part of the preset "green wave,"
they may be less likely to speed, and traffic as a result would flow more
uniformly. Install signs along High Street and Maple Street stating that the
signals are set for a certain cruising travel speed. Additional law
enforcement would also help as well as regulatory speed signage.

measure.
Pedestrian
1. Pedestrian Signals
•
Concern/Issue: Pedestrian walk/don’t walk signals at many of the RSA
intersections were either not working, only partially working, or were
missing. Furthermore, the pedestrian signals are not the current standard
countdown pedestrian signals. In some instances where pedestrian heads
were damaged, they have not been replaced.
Potential Enhancement: In the short term, the existing pedestrian signals
that are not working should be fixed or reinstalled where missing. New
LED countdown pedestrian signal heads should ultimately be installed at
all corners of signalized intersections where there are or will be
Existing pedestrian
crosswalks. Pedestrian walk/don’t walk signal timings should also be
signal head
recalculated based on current standards.
•
Concern/Issue: Crashes between pedestrians and vehicles occurred at
several of the RSA intersections during the 2012-2014 period. Some of
these crashes may have been due to motorists making a turn and not seeing
the pedestrian that was crossing the street during the concurrent pedestrian
signal phase until it was too late. All of the RSA intersections have
concurrent pedestrian signal phasing except for Lyman Street at Maple
Street.
Proposed pedestrian
signal head
Page 15
Road Safety Audit—High and Maple Streets – Holyoke, MA
Potential Enhancement: A Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) should be incorporated to the
signal phasing at the RSA intersections with concurrent pedestrian phasing. Outdated signal
controller equipment should be replaced with new controllers in order to do so. An LPI is a short
pedestrian-only signal phase that allows a pedestrian to enter the crosswalk at least a few seconds
in advance of concurrent vehicle signal phase. This gives the pedestrian a head start so that he or
she is already within the crossing by the time a motorist starts moving/turning and is more visible
to motorists as a result.
•
Concern/Issue: There is a possible need for pedestrian push buttons at the RSA intersections
with concurrent pedestrian phasing. Currently, at the intersections with working pedestrian
signals, the concurrent pedestrian signal comes on every cycle regardless if there is a pedestrian
call or not. As a result, some pedestrians may not be fully engaged in the crossing since they
have not had to push the pedestrian button. It is possible that the addition of pedestrian push
buttons may result in some modification to pedestrian behavior to make them more engaged by
requiring them to push the button in order to cross.
Potential Enhancement: Install accessible pedestrian push buttons on each corner of the
signalized intersections.
•
Concern/Issue: The pedestrian signals do not include an audible component to the walk
indication. Audible pedestrian signals assist people with vision impairment at the onset of the
walk phase.
Potential Enhancement: Audible Pedestrian Signals (APS), in accordance with the Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control (MUTCD) standards, should be installed.
2. Pedestrian Geometry
•
Concern/Issue: Pedestrian sidewalk to crosswalk ramps at the RSA intersections do not meet
current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) design standards.
Potential Enhancement: Install pedestrian ramps that meet ADA standards, including detectable
warning strips at approaches to crosswalks. Detectable warning strips allow people with an
impairment to detect the boundary between the sidewalk and street.
•
Concern/Issue: Sidewalk bumpouts (also known as curb extensions) are located at many of the
corners of the RSA study intersections, specifically at the approaches along High and Maple
Streets at each of the signalized intersections. The side street approaches at these intersections
typically do not have bumpouts. Bumpouts have several benefits including that they lessen the
pedestrian crossing distance and can increase visibility of and for pedestrians that are about to
cross.
Potential Enhancement: As a medium-term or long-term measure, a bumpout would be ideal
for the westbound approach of Cabot Street at the intersection with High Street.
Page 16
Road Safety Audit—High and Maple Streets – Holyoke, MA
Signing
•
Concern/Issue: "No Turn On Red" signs should be considered at the RSA intersections. In
locations with visibility concerns, on-street parking, and high numbers of pedestrians, the
prohibition of vehicle turns on red should be considered. This especially is the case if an
intersection operates sufficiently from a motorist delay and level of service standpoint without
allowing vehicles to turn on red.
Potential Enhancement: Install "No Turn On Red" signs on mast arms near the appropriate
signal head. In the short term, existing "No Turn On Red" signs that are faded should be replaced
with new signs.
•
Concern/Issue: As mentioned above, the conflict between a vehicle
making a turn and pedestrians who are crossing the intersecting street
during the concurrent pedestrian signal phase is a concern. More
awareness should be directed to a motorist making a turn about the
possible presence of pedestrians.
Potential Enhancement: In addition to the addition of a LPI to the signal
operations, "Turning Vehicles Yield to Pedestrian" signs should be
installed at the RSA intersections to remind drivers who are making a turn Sign – Vehicles to yield
to yield to pedestrians.
to pedestrians
•
Concern/Issue: Signs are located on mast poles at several intersections that have concurrent
pedestrian signal phasing that direct pedestrians to "watch for turning vehicles on walk signal."
However, a number of these signs are placed too high.
Potential Enhancement: These signs should be placed in accordance with the MUTCD and
should be placed consistently on each corner of the RSA intersections.
•
Concern/Issue: "One Way," "No Left Turn," "No Right Turn," and "Do Not Enter" signs are not
placed consistently at each RSA intersection.
Potential Enhancement: These signs should be placed consistently across the RSA
intersections. Diagrammatic "No Left Turn" or "No Right Turn" signs should be mounted on
mast arms near appropriate signal heads.
•
Concern/Issue: On-street parking spaces at multiple side street locations are arguably too close
to intersections, crosswalks, and stop bars.
Potential Enhancements: Eliminate parking spaces within the vicinity of intersecting streets
that may cause issues and install new "No Parking" signs. Locations that would benefit from this
are:

Road Safety Audit—High and Maple Streets – Holyoke, MA
•
Concern/Issue: Some of the existing signs at the RSA intersections and along the Maple Street
and High Street corridors are old and faded.
Potential Enhancement: Replace old and faded signs with new retroreflective signs. Old traffic
signs that are effectively replaced by new signage installed per this RSA or are outdated based on
the current MUTCD should be removed.
•
Concern/Issue: Street name signs at the RSA intersections are generally small and not located
where they can be most clearly seen from all approaches, and some are missing.
Potential Enhancement: Larger street name signs should be installed in accordance to the
MUTCD standards and placed at consistent locations at each intersection such as on the mast
arms.. Signs that are missing should be replaced.
Bicycles
•
Concern/Issue: There is a lack of accommodations for bicycle
travel along the Maple Street and High Street corridors.
Potential Enhancement: Bicycle lane(s) and/or shared lane
markings (SLMs) should be installed as feasible. The two
vehicle travel lanes along High Street are currently both
approximately 14 feet wide. The width of urban street vehicle
travel lanes can be as low as 11 feet or 10 feet with little ill effect Sharro symbol in pavement
to vehicle flow rates. Space that would be gained by reducing
the vehicle lane widths could be used for a new dedicated bicycle
lane. One-way bicycle lanes are typically 5 feet in width. Additional
available width of 1 to 3 feet could be striped as buffer space. On
Maple Street, the two vehicle travel lanes are already both 12 feet
wide. SLMs would be feasible for Maple Street. Signage denoting
bicycle routes and wayfinding would also be appropriate additions.
Bicycle-friendly catch basin grates should be installed where
necessary such as at catch basins where there are sidewalk bumpouts.
Bike boxes would be an additional feature to add to the High Street
leg at each of the signalized intersections.
Bike lane in roadway
Pavement Markings
•
Concern/Issue: Some of the pavement markings at the RSA intersections and along the Maple
Street and High Street corridors are faded or becoming faded. This includes some crosswalks,
lane line markings, turn lane arrow markings, stop bars, on-street parking spaces, bus zone
markings, and loading/no parking zone markings.
Potential Enhancement: Reapply pavement markings where necessary.
•
Concern/Issue: At the RSA intersections to the northeast of Resnic Boulevard, the stop bar
placement at the side street approaches could be moved back slightly to improve the turning
Page 18
Road Safety Audit—High and Maple Streets – Holyoke, MA
radius of large vehicles and trucks making a turn from Maple Street or High Street. Some large
vehicles and trucks have difficulty making a turn from High Street or Maple Street onto the twoway side streets without tracking over the stop bar on the intersecting street approach and/or onstreet parking spaces. Crashes at different locations have involved this issue.
Potential Enhancement: An evaluation should be made to identify where stop bars should be
placed on the side street approaches at the RSA intersections northeast of Resnic Boulevard,
taking into account vehicle tracking needs but also the visibility of motorists from the stopped
position at the side street approaches to Maple Street and High Street. Stop bar placement should
be modified as found necessary. Stop bars are typically placed 5' behind crosswalks.
Transit
•
Concern/Issue: Many of the bus stops in the study area are located near side at the intersections.
Near-side bus stops are located at an approach to an intersection. In general, bus stops should
instead be located immediately after an intersection, otherwise known as a far-side bus stop.
Reasons for this include that buses pulling out of a far-side stop will not be blocked by vehicles
queued at the light, and pedestrians leaving the bus and crossing the street are more likely to cross
behind the bus rather than in front of the bus and thus be more visible to oncoming traffic.
Potential Enhancement: Where feasible, near-side bus stops should be moved to far side. This
may require some on-street parking spaces to thus be moved from far side to near side. Far-side
bus stops can provide more room for parking.
Intersection-Specific Concerns/Issues and Potential Enhancements:
The following are concerns/issues and potential enhancements that are specific to individual intersections.
These are in addition to the corridor-wide issues and enhancements that apply throughout the RSA study
area.
High Street at Resnic Boulevard and I-391 Southbound On Ramp
•
Concern/Issue: Secondary signal heads at this intersection are pole mounted and are not over a
vehicle lane.
Potential Enhancement: Install two far-side heads for each approach on new mast arms.
Consider the installation for supplemental post-mounted signals.
•
Concern/Issue: Inappropriate lane designation
Potential Enhancement: Install right-turn arrow pavement markings on the southernmost lane
of High Street for motorists turning onto the I-391 on ramp.
•
Concern/Issue: There is a lack of lane use signage at the approaches to this intersection. Two
crashes at this location were wrong way incidents.
Potential Enhancement: Install lane use signage at both approaches to inform motorists which
lane to position themselves as well as "One Way" and "Do Not Enter" signs, etc.
Page 19
Road Safety Audit—High and Maple Streets – Holyoke, MA
•
Concern/Issue: There is a gap in the sidewalk on the north side of High Street on the west leg of
the intersection.
Potential Enhancement: Construct new sidewalk to fill the missing gap.
High Street at Resnic Boulevard and I-391 Northbound Off Ramp
•
Concern/Issue: Secondary signal heads at this intersection are pole mounted or pedestal
mounted and not over a vehicle lane. The low-mounted signal heads could be the cause of
numerous run-on-red crashes.
Potential Enhancement: Install far-side overhead signal heads on new mast arms, providing two
signal heads for the approaching lanes. Consider the installation for supplemental post-mounted
signals.
•
Concern/Issue: The High Street approach to this intersection has four lanes, yet the section of
High Street just downstream of this intersection only has two vehicles lanes.
Potential Enhancement: Restripe the southernmost lane on High Street at the approach to be a
wide shoulder instead of a vehicle travel lane. This enhancement is possible because the
southernmost lane approach at the I-391 off ramp is converted to a right-turn only lane. Restripe
the northernmost lane on High Street at this approach to be a left-turn only lane with arrow
pavement markings for motorists turning left to Resnic Boulevard. This configuration should be
studied to determine if the change is appropriate.
•
Concern/Issue: The I-391 off ramp approach to this intersection has a dedicated right-turn lane.
However, the right-turn arrow pavement markings are faded.
Potential Enhancement: Reapply right-turn arrow pavement markings.
•
Concern/Issue: There is a lack of diagrammatic lane use signage at the approaches to this
intersection. There is also a nonstandard pedestrian crossing sign on the off ramp that should be
removed.
Potential Enhancement: Lane use signage should be installed at both approaches to inform
motorists which lane to position themselves.
•
Concern/Issue: Nonstandard pedestrian crossing sign along the north side off the I-391 off ramp
Potential Enhancement: Remove the sign.
•
Concern/Issue: Numerous run-on-red crashes at this location
Potential Enhancement: Remove the pedestal-mounted signal heads and replace with mast arms
that will provide signal heads over the lane.
Page 20
Road Safety Audit—High and Maple Streets – Holyoke, MA
Maple Street at Resnic Boulevard Eastbound
•
Concern/Issue: Secondary signal heads at the Maple Street approach are pole mounted, and all
of the signal heads on the Resnic Boulevard southbound approach are pedestal mounted. All of
the signal heads should be mounted overhead for increased visibility. On multilane approaches to
an intersection, there should typically be one signal head per lane.
Potential Enhancement: Far-side overhead signal heads, one for each approaching lane, should
be installed. New mast arms or span wire should be installed in order to do so.
•
Concern/Issue: There is a merge from two through lanes to one lane on Maple Street just after
this intersection that is abrupt due to a painted shoulder area, which may be contributing to rearend crashes and possibly sideswipes at this location.
Potential Enhancement: Further study should be given to investigate if this short merge
condition could be improved. One possible solution would be to continue the northernmost lane
of Maple Street directly into the dedicated right-turn lane downstream at the approach to
Parenteau Drive. At the very least, this would provide a longer distance for motorists in the
northernmost lane of Maple Street to merge into the center through lane. If the merge is left as is,
the "Right Lane Ends Merge Left" sign should be replaced with the diagrammatic merge sign.
•
Concern/Issue: There is a lack of diagrammatic lane use signage at the approaches to this
intersection.
Potential Enhancement: Install lane use signage at both approaches to inform motorists which
lane to position themselves. The southernmost lane shall be a shared left-through and the
remaining lanes shall be through lanes, which may help eliminate some of the crashes at this
intersection.
•
Concern/Issue: The Resnic Boulevard southbound approach to this intersection has a dedicated
right-turn lane. However, the right-turn arrow pavement markings are faded, which is causing
sideswipes due to confusion on which lane to be in.
Potential Enhancement: Reapply right-turn arrow pavement markings.
•
Concern/Issue: There is a worn pedestrian/bicycle path located at the northwest corner of the
intersection that approaches right to the intersection from a decline. People using the path are not
visible until they are at the corner. During the group field walk, participants indicated that
children on bicycles sometimes ride dangerously down the path directly into the intersection.
Potential Enhancement: A fence could be installed on this corner behind the sidewalk to
preclude bicyclists from riding down the path directly into the intersection.
Maple Street at Resnic Boulevard Westbound
•
Concern/Issue: Secondary signal heads at this intersection are pole mounted and/or pedestal
mounted and are not over a vehicle lane. All of the signal heads should be mounted overhead for
increased visibility. On multilane approaches to an intersection, there should typically be one
signal head per lane.
Page 21
Road Safety Audit—High and Maple Streets – Holyoke, MA
Potential Enhancement: Far-side overhead signal heads, one for each approaching lane, should
be installed. New mast arms or span wire should be installed in order to do so.
•
Concern/Issue: The diagrammatic lane use sign at the Maple Street approach is somewhat
misleading. The sign shows the southernmost lane of Maple Street as a left-turn lane. While a
left turn can be made from this lane to Norfolk Street, which is essentially a parking lot, a left
turn cannot be made at the signalized intersection to Resnic Boulevard northbound that is just
after Norfolk Street.
Potential Enhancement: The lane use sign should be revised to show the lane designations at
the signalized intersection of Maple Street at Resnic Boulevard northbound.
•
Concern/Issue: Vehicles in the right lane heading westbound on Resnic Boulevard are turning
left into vehicles in the left lane going straight.
Potential Enhancement: Add pavement markings along with the diagrammatic signs.
•
Concern/Issue: Tree limbs on the Maple Street approach obstruct some visibility of the traffic
signal.
Potential Enhancement: Implement selective tree trimming.
High Street at Jackson Street
•
Concern/Issue: Tree limbs on the Jackson Street eastbound approach to High Street block
visibility of the traffic signal and of signage.
Potential Enhancement: Implement selective tree trimming.
Maple Street at Jackson Street
•
Concern/Issue: Tree limbs on the Jackson Street eastbound approach to Maple Street block
visibility of the traffic signal and of signage.
Potential Enhancement: Implement selective tree trimming.
•
Concern/Issue: The angle of the southerly signal head for Maple Street is incorrect where the
face of the signal head is not aimed directly at oncoming traffic.
Potential Enhancement: Adjust signal head accordingly.
High Street at Sargeant Street
•
Concern/Issue: On-street parking spaces are arguably too close to the intersection, crosswalks,
and stop bars at this location. There was a total of six crashes at this location with parked
vehicles.
Potential Enhancements: Eliminate parking spaces within vicinity intersecting streets that may
cause issues and install new "No Parking" signs.
Page 22
Road Safety Audit—High and Maple Streets – Holyoke, MA
Maple Street at Sargeant Street
•
Concern/Issue: The on-street parking space on Sargeant Street nearest the westbound approach
to Maple Street is too close to a fire hydrant. Per city ordinance, on-street parking should not be
allowed within 10 feet of a fire hydrant.
Potential Enhancement: Remove this on-street parking space or adjust the parking lines to
provide the required distance.
High Street at Cabot Street
•
Concern/Issue: The westbound approach of Cabot Street to High Street often functions as a twolane approach as it is wide enough, and while on-street parking is not prohibited at this approach,
vehicles are infrequently parked there, and on-street pavement markings do not exist on this
approach that might preclude motorists from using it as a multilane approach. This intersection
was operating on flashing mode during the RSA field observations due to signal malfunction, and
several near collisions where observed due to motorists in the makeshift right-turn lane having
their visibility of oncoming High Street traffic blocked by vehicles abreast of them. Several
crashes have occurred since the signal has been on flash, 24 in total.
Potential Enhancements: Formalize the westbound approach of Cabot Street at High Street as a
single-lane approach by painting on-street parking spaces or install a sidewalk bumpout.
Consider a "No Turn On Red" sign at this location. Repair the signal so that it is not operating in
"flash mode."
•
Concern/Issue: There is an oversized "One Way" sign that is mounted on the mast arm facing
the eastbound approach of High Street at Cabot Street.
Potential Enhancement: While mast arm-mounted signs near appropriate signal heads are
preferred, this sign is oversized and should likely be replaced with a diagrammatic "No Right
Turn" sign.
Maple Street at Cabot Street
•
•
Concern/Issue: It was mentioned during the field observations that drop-off and pickup at HB
Lawrence Elementary School previously occurred along Cabot Street west of Maple Street. Signs
were recently installed prohibiting parking in this area during school arrival and dismissal
periods. It is not known the extent to which these new signs are being obeyed.
Potential Enhancement: One of the biggest concerns with on-street student drop-off and pickup
has to do with students/parents/guardians crossing the street in between parked vehicles to get to
the school. At this location, on-street parking on the north side of Cabot Street west of Maple
Street in front of the school should be fully prohibited by use of "No Parking" signs and perhaps a
striped shoulder to preclude anyone who would park there from crossing Cabot Street mid-block
to get to the school. The effectiveness of the new signage should be monitored.

Road Safety Audit—High and Maple Streets – Holyoke, MA
High Street at Appleton Street
•
Concern/Issue: The brick and granite crosswalk across High Street north of Appleton Street at
this intersection has low visibility at night compared to standard pavement marking crosswalks.
Potential Enhancement: Standard retroreflective crosswalk striping could be applied as a border
just outside of the brick and granite crosswalk to improve visibility of this crossing.
Maple Street at Appleton Street
There were no concerns/issues that were identified to be individually specific to this intersection.
Corridor-wide concerns/issues and potential enhancements mentioned above do apply to this
intersection.
High Street at Suffolk Street
•
Concern/Issue: The brick and granite crosswalks across each leg of the High Street at Suffolk
Street intersection have low visibility at night compared to standard pavement marking
crosswalks.
Potential Enhancement: Standard retroreflective crosswalk striping could be applied as a border
just outside of the brick and granite crosswalks to improve visibility of these crossings.
Maple Street at Suffolk Street
There were no concerns/issues that were identified to be individually specific to this intersection.
Corridor-wide concerns/issues and potential enhancements mentioned above do apply to this
intersection.
Maple Street at Lyman Street
•
Concern/Issue: There was observed to be a notable amount of ponding at the northeast corner of
this intersection during the field observations.
Potential Enhancement: Study should be made to investigate drainage improvement needs at
this location.
•
Concern/Issue: The elderly population in the area utilizes this signal to cross Lyman and Maple
Streets.
Potential Enhancement: Consider providing a longer exclusive pedestrian phase.
