NY Route 29 at Rowland Street Intersection Safety Enhancements

in development

The New York State Department of Transportation is designing a roundabout to enhance safety and reduce congestion at the intersection of NY State Route 29 (Washington Street), Rowland Street (Saratoga County Route 47) and Petrified Sea Gardens Road in the Town of Milton, Saratoga County. The intersection is just west of the City of Saratoga Springs, and provides important access to and from the Spa City for residents and visitors alike. Roundabouts are engineered to maximize safety and minimize congestion. Compared to traditional intersections, traffic flows more freely through roundabouts, cutting congestion and commute times. Crashes at roundabouts tend to be less severe because they typically occur at slower speeds. Roundabouts eliminate the need for electric-powered traffic signals. They also contribute to aesthetically pleasing landscapes.
