The intersection as a whole operates at level of
service B, both with the existing volumes and the projected future
volumes. Average delays are low, in the range of 10 to 11 seconds
per vehicle. |
|
The critical v/c ratio for the
intersection is 0.34, indicating the intersection has a significant amount
of excess capacity. The fact that the critical v/c ratio is so low is also
an indication that average control delays can be reduced even more by
using a shorter cycle length (providing, of course, that all minimum green
times are still maintained). |
|
The eastbound and westbound approaches (formerly the
minor street approaches, Styner Avenue and Lauder Avenue) operate at level
of service C, both with the existing volumes and the projected future
volumes, with average control delay varying between 20 and 25 seconds per vehicle. |
|
The northbound and southbound approaches (on U.S. 95)
both operate at level of service A, with average control delay varying between 6
and 7 seconds per vehicle. |
|
The 95th-percentile
back-of-queue is significantly longer under signal control than under stop
sign control. This means that drivers trying to enter or exit nearby
driveways may experience difficulty at times when the queue blocks either
the driveway or their view of oncoming traffic. The predicted queue
lengths are not so long, however, that they are in danger of blocking any
upstream intersections. |
|
No lane group operates at less than level of service C. |
| No lane group is projected to operate with a
volume/capacity ratio greater than 0.60. |
