Route 18 Corridor Study

OCPC Route 18 Corridor Study Survey

The deadline to complete the survey is June 30, 2023.

OCPC is currently undertaking a study of the Route 18 corridor in the towns of Bridgewater and East Bridgewater. As part of the study, OCPC has developed a public outreach program to garner input from the public regarding thoughts on what types of problems exist, where traffic problems exist within the corridor, as well as potential improvements and fixes for these problems.

The purpose of this study is to address traffic congestion and improve safety, circulation, and mobility for all road users (bicyclists and walkers), as well as vehicles, and to coordinate any recommendations with planned road projects and planned development. The study includes;

  • data collection (traffic volumes, 24-hour and intersection volumes, speeds, heavy vehicle volumes),
  • peak hour levels of service at key intersections and bottlenecks,
  • traffic safety (the number and types of crashes at problematic locations),
  • the condition of the built environment (pavement, sidewalks, pavement markings, signs, and traffic control devices),
  • transit operations and potential for expansion, bicycle and pedestrian safety and accommodations,
  • and truck operations and constraints (turning radii, height, and weight restrictions).

The study’s final report will be completed in September 2023. Please help OCPC in this important traffic and safety study by taking our Route 18 survey.
