Studies: Riverside Drive (US 58 Business) Corridor Improvement Study

The Riverside Drive Corridor Improvement Study focused on a 3.2-mile long segment of Riverside Drive from North Main Street to the intersection at the Honda dealership entrance and Riverview Dental Care west of Piedmont Drive in the City of Danville, which does not have a traffic signal. VDOT identified Riverside Drive (US Route 58 Business) in the City of Danville as a STARS corridor because of safety and access concerns. The corridor has a high density of signalized intersections, no signal median openings, and driveways.

Benefits 

The study conducted safety and operational analyses and developed recommendations to better manage access, improve safety, and address operational issues in the study area.
