Turning options on the five-way intersection at Granum Ave and Highway 2
The 5-way intersection at Granum Ave can create confusion and crash conflicts with its many different turning options
  • The corridor serves between 4,000 and 6,000 vehicles per day depending on season. It has a higher than expected crash rate than similar state highways.
  • The City is successfully becoming more pedestrian friendly with the number of pedestrians and activity on sidewalks increasing each year, although Highway 2 can be seen as a barrier to that growth
  • Along with residential, business and commuter traffic in Crookston, Hwy 2 also carries:
    • Truck traffic
    • Seasonal farming equipment
    • School buses
  • The intersection of Granum Ave is a 5-way intersection that includes a sharp intersecting angle
