Safestreet has provided an original road design for 3rd Avenue West in Val-d’Or in order to offer good traffic flow while controlling traffic speed. Existing traffic requires one through lane, with turn lanes as required. Where turn requirements are more limited, a two-way left turn lane (TWLTL) is implemented. The project includes one-way bike lanes on each side, as well as sidewalks.
Ten years later, the City came back to us to redesign an adjacent section of this Avenue, with the unusual characteristic of going through a cemetery. We took into account the context to make it an urban and social project, as well as a road project.
