Exhibit 2-6 shows the intersection volumes for the base case AM and PM peak hours. In the AM peak, the largest volumes are the eastbound through and
the westbound through.
In the PM peak, the volumes are very similar but they are larger,
especially the turning movements (e.g., 215 westbound right turns in the
PM peak versus 84 in the AM peak.)
Discussion:
We've focused here on the phasing and the volumes. What other data do we
need to do the analysis? Take a few minutes to examine the HCM signalized
methodology to make sure you know what that complete list of data items
is. Think about the implicit assumptions we're making about other data
items.
