Problem 2: Reitz Union Drive Intersection Improvement Strategies

Using this data to work through the HCM procedures will yield for each movement and approach:

Results of our analysis, including overall intersection delay and level of service, are shown in the following table:

Remember, since the HCM methodology assumes all lanes have adequate storage when computing delay, you must check the back-of-queue and queue storage ratio for each lane group to determine if there are queue storage problems.  (A queue storage ratio greater than 1.0 indicates estimated queues are greater than available storage).

With this analysis of the existing conditions at the Reitz Union Drive intersection, we will address intersection improvement strategies in the ensuing sub-problems.

Sub-problem 2a:Analyzing the effects of pedestrians

Sub-problem 2b:Analyzing the effects of signal phasing

Sub-problem 2c:Analyzing the effects of coordination
