1. THE GATEHOUSE IS TOO CLOSE TO US 278 TO HANDLE WEAVING VEHICLES
Suppose that in an average 24-hour period that there are 5,000 vehicles westbound and 5,000 vehicles eastbound turning into SCHH. Suppose that half of the vehicles coming from each direction are bound for the residents' (decal) gate, and half are bound for the visitors'/vendors' gates. That means that 5,000 vehicles per day will have to weave from one lane to another. That's a lot!

.
Too many to handle in the short distance between US 278 and the gatehouse.

2. VISITOR TRAFFIC MERGE.

3. INTERSECTION WITH DEL WEBB BLVD.
.
.
.
SOLUTIONS:

1. CUL-DE-SAC DEL WEBB BLVD., I.E., ELIMINATE THE INTERSECTION.
.
2. MOVE THE GATEHOUSE TO THE SOUTH TO PROVIDE MORE WEAVE DISTANCE.
