Sub-problem 1a: Determining the Facility Type and Scope of the Analysis
Step 1. Setup
There are various methodologies that may be used to analyze traffic operations along Krome Avenue. We know that the intersection spacing varies between one and ten miles along Krome Avenue, with the intersection spacing decreasing as we proceed further south. To properly analyze the corridor, we will have to identify the type of facility that Krome Avenue belongs to. Given this information, at what point does Krome Avenue change from a two-lane highway to a signalized arterial?
