This proposal would create a Continuous Green-T intersection, where vehicles traveling along Rio Road can continue through the intersection without stopping. Vehicles turning left onto Rio Road from Belvedere Boulevard would use a channelized receiving lane on Rio Road to merge onto Rio Road eastbound. No turning movements are restricted, such that vehicles traveling on Rio Road can make right or left turns onto Belvedere Boulevard and vehicles on Belvedere Boulevard can turn right or left onto Rio Road. It is still to be determined whether this intersection treatment will be signalized. Traffic from westbound Rio to the church located on the south side of Rio Road would utilize a U-turn location at Greenbrier Terrace. This project was identified in the Rio Road Corridor Study.
