![]() NPS Image What Is A CGT?
![]() In April of 2021, the National Park Service (NPS) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) completed a traffic and safety assessment on the southern section of the George Washington Memorial Parkway. After engaging with subject matter experts and the public, the study identified context sensitive solutions that make the road safer and protect the scenic and historic values of the parkway. The study made recommendations for the parkway based on the 3E’s (Enforcement, Education, and Engineering) model for improved traffic safety. In addition, to other engineering recommendations the study identified conceptual designs for Belle Haven and Belle View intersections. These conceptual designs included the CGT which were adopted and implemented to guide motorists through intersections, providing clear delineation for traffic movements, reducing the frequency and severity of accidents. _________________________
