Route description

SR 307 begins as the five-lane Bond Road at a traffic signal with SR 305 in Poulsbo and travels northeast, narrowing into a two-lane highway as it travels into a heavily forested area along Dogfish Creek.[3][4] Bond Road intersects several rural roads and continues into an industrial area, ending at an intersection with SR 104 west of Kingston.[5][6]

Every year, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) conducts a series of surveys on its highways in the state to measure traffic volume. This is expressed in terms of average annual daily traffic (AADT), which is a measure of traffic volume for any average day of the year. In 2011, WSDOT calculated that between 13,000 and 16,000 vehicles per day used the highway as a route between Poulsbo and Kingston.[7]

History

SR 307 was created in 1991 along the route of Bond Road between SR 305 and SR 104,[2] which had been a paved road since the 1950s.[8] No major revisions to the highway have occurred since 1991;[9] however, the southern terminus at SR 305 was rebuilt in 2009 during the expansion of the highway through Poulsbo.[10][11]

Major intersections

The entire highway is in Kitsap County.
