EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Market Place is a. proposed commercial use develop-
ment located east of South College Avenue and north of
Troutman Parki,aay in Fort Collins, Colorado. This traffic
impact study involved the steps of trip generation, trip
distribution, trip assignment, capacity analysis, traffic
signal t,aar•r•ant analysis, tr•aff i c signal progression analysis,
and accident analysis.
This study assessed the impacts of the Market Place on
the existing (short range - 1991) and future (long range -
201n) street system in the vicinity of the proposed
development. As a result of this analysis, the follotrainq is
concluded:
- The development of the Market Place is feasible from
a traffic engineering standpoint. At full development of the
Market Place as proposed, approximately 6,400 trip ends will
be generated at this site on a typical vleekda.y. Some of
these t�,li 1 1 be from the background traff i c already passing by
this site. The land to the north will generate approximately
3,100 additional daily trip ends when it is developed.
- Using the existing peak hour traffic volumes,
acceptable operation exists at the College/Troutman and
Troutman/Pavillion access intersections.
- By 19'1, given the existing traffic and proposed
development of the Market Place, acceptable operation talill
exist at all key intersections. The geometric requirement
on Troutman will be minimal given the existing location of
the Pav i 1 1 i on Access. This constraint may necessitate side -
by -side left -turn lanes at this location.
' - At full development of the Market Place, the land to
the north, and considerable other development (east of JFK
Parka. -!ay) in this part of Fort Collins, acceptable operation
' is achievable at the College/Troutman intersection with
double left -turn lanes in the southbound direction on College
Avenue. Left -turn exits at the Troutman/Access intersection
u,lill experience some unacceptable operation during the peak
hours. This will not likely last for very long. The delayed
vehicles !,,ii 1 1 be on -site and v1i 1 1 not nega.t i vel y affect the
public street system. It is anticipated that ,JFK, Parkvlay
1 1 1 serve as a recirculation street east of College Avenue,
reducing some of the left -turn requirements on Troutman.
- With proper traffic control and geometric=, the
' accident rate should be minimal for an urban condition.
- The site plan acce=_.=_. for the Market Place is in
accordance with the South College Avenue Access Control Plan.

I. INTRODUCTION
This site access study addresses the capacity,
geometric, and control requirements at and near a proposed
development known hereinafter as the Market Place. It i
located east of South College Avenue and north of Troutman
Parkway in Fort Collins, Colorado. This study addresses the
traffic impacts. at two levels of development: 1) a short
range future C1s91) which includes the development of the
Market Place as proposed, and 2) a long range future (2010)
t,ii th development of the Market Place and additional
commercial development between the Market Place and the
Fountainhead to the north.
During the course of the analysis, numerous contacts
were made with the project planning consultant (Yergensen,
Obring, & Whittaker, P.C., Architects) and the Fort Collins.
Traffic Engineering Department. This study conforms to the
format set forth in the Fort Collins Traffic Impact Study
Guidelines. The study involved the following steps:
- Collect physical, traffic and development data.
- Perform trip generation, trip distribution, and trip
assignment.
- Determine peak hour traffic volumes.
- Conduct capacity and operational level of service
analyses on key intersections.
- Analyze signal vlarrants.
- Analyze signal progression.
- Analyze potential changes in accidents and safety
cons i derat ions.
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The location of the Market Place is shoo-in in Figure 1.
Since the impact in the short range, as well as, the long
range is of concern, it is important that a. thorough
understanding of the existing conditions be presented.
Land Use
The Market Place parcel is bounded by the Pavi11ion
Shopping Center across Troutman Parkway on the south, and the
Sea Galley, Pic 'n Save, Best shopping center across College
Avenue on the west. Land to the east is. vacant across JFK
Parkway. Land immediately to the north is vacant with the
Fountainhead Center further to the north across this vacant
parcel. The vacant parcel was assumed to have commercial
development in the long range future.

Roads
The pr imary roads. and streets near- the Market PI ace are
shown in Figure 2. South College Avenue (U.S. 287) borders
the Market Place on the viest . It is a north -south street
designated as a major arterial on the Fort Collins Master
Street Plan. It has an urban cross section with three 12
foot lanes in each direction with a center turn lane. There
are right -turn auxiliary lanes along College Avenue at
various locations, most notably at the Pavillion Shopping
Center and the Fountainhead Center. The posted speed limit
is 45 mph in this area of College Avenue. Sight distance is
generally not a problem along College Avenue. Currently,
signalized intersections along this section of College Avenue
are at Harmony, Troutman, Boardwalk, and Horsetooth. It is
expected that in the future, signals will be warranted at
College/Kensington and at a. location north of Boardvlal k. , as
documented in the South College Avenue Access Control Plan.
Troutman Parkway borders the Market Place on the south.
It is an east -west street designated as a collector on the
Fort Collins Master Street Plan. Adjacent to the Market
Place, Troutman is improved to a 68 foot curb to curb width.
Geometrics on Troutman will be addressed later in this
report. It is expected that Troutman Parkway will be posted
at 35 mph.
_1FK Parkway is. a collector street which will eventually
connect Horsetooth Road to Harmony Road. It wi 1 1 primarily
serve as a recirculation road, similar to the way Mason
Street functions on the west side of College Avenue.
Existing Traffic
Daily traffic flow is shown in Figure 3. These are
machine counted volumes conducted by the City of Fort Collins
i n 19e6.
In addition to the daily count data, noon Saturday and
weekday afternoon peak hour traffic data were obtained in
April 19851 and fall 1988, respectively. The peak hour
turning movements are shown in Figure 4.
Existing Operation
The peak hour operation using the volumes shovjn in
Figure 4 is shown in Table 1. Calculation forms for these
analyses are provided in Appendix A. Appendix B describes
level of service for unsi gnal i zed and signalized intersec-
tions from the 1i85 Highway Capacity Manual. The College:

III. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The Market Place is a proposed commercial use develop-
ment located east of College Avenue and north of Troutman
Parkway in Fort Collins. It will include primarily retail
uses. Figure 5 shows. a schematic of the site plan of the
Market Place. As indicated earlier, two levels of analysis
were performed: the short range 1 1991 1 which includes Phase 1
as noted in Table 2, and the long range (2010) which includes
development of the Market Place and the land to the north at
a comparable development density. Access to this site is in
conformance lv.jith the South College Avenue Access Control
Plan.
Service access from Troutman Parkway is proposed to 1 i ne
up with an access- on the south side of the street. There
will likely be no traffic between these two accesses. In
order to share the driveway between two properties, this
s_. accesto Troutman may be moved approximately 40 feet to the
east. If this occurs, the curb cute will no longer line up.
This slight off -set should not present operational problems
i for either straight -through traffic or conflicting left turns
due to the low traffic volumes anticipated. Troutman Parkway
will have a center left -turn lane in this area..
iThe street system in the area in the short range was
assumed to consist of the streets as they currently exist.
In the year 2010, at full development of the Market Place,
' the street system was assumed to be what is indicated in the
Fort Collins Master Street Plan with appropriate additions.
The long range analysis also assumed build out of the land to
the north and east of the Market Place.
Trip Generation
Trip generation is important in considering the impact
of a development such as this upon the existing and proposed
street system. A compilation of trip generation information
was prepared by the Institute of Transportation Engineers in
1976, updated in 19E7, and was used to project trips that
would be generated by the proposed uses at'this site. Table
2 shot.,js the expected trip generation on a. da. i 1 y and peak hour
basis.. The land use type from the ITE Trip Generation Manual
chosen for the Market Place was. 100,000-200,000 square foot
shopping center. Included in the approximately 9500 vehicle
trips generated on an average weekday are the 20-30 trucks
which will service the needs of the proposed retail uses. A
vehicle trip is defined as having either an origin or
destination at the site.

In the long range
(2010), it was

Trip Distribution
' Tv,io directional distributions. t.-jere determined for the
Market Place. The short range and long range distributions
used residential uses as the production variable. The
distribution was performed by obtaining t,,1here the dale 1 1 i ng
unit locations were, by Traffic Analysis. Zone, and creating a
gravity model. Data used in this analysis ,,as obtained from
the Fort Collins Planning Department. The trip distributions
' are =_hotain in F i pure 6.
Trip Assignment
Trip assignment is how the generated and distributed
trips are expected to be loaded on the street system. The
a -signed trips are the resultant of the trip distribution
process.
Several land use generators such as shopping centers.,
drive-in (fast food) restaurants, service stations,
convenience markets, and other support service_ (banks, etc.)
capture trips from the normal traffic passing by the site.
For many of these trips, the stop at the site is a secondary
part of a 1 i nked trip such as from work to shopping center to
home. In all of these cases., the dr i veviay volumes at the
site are higher than the actual amount of traffic added to
'
the adjacent street system, since some of the site generated
traffic was already counted in the adjacent street traffic.
A pass -by factor of 40%* was applied to the newly generated
shopping center trips.
This pass -by factor t,,ias obtained by averaging pass -by
factors. from the following sources:

Lakewood, June 1985.
2. Development and Application of Trip Generation Pates,
FKA.IA/LiSDOT, January 1985.

TRIP DISTRIBUTION FIGURE 6

The procedure used to account for both pass -by traffic
and primary destination traffic is as follows,
- Estimate the trip generation rate as is currently done and
determine the total number of trips forecast to occur,
based on the size of the development.
- Estimate the percentage of pass -by trips, and split the
total number• of trips into two components, one for pass -by
trips and one for new trips.
- Estimate the trip distributions for• the two individual
components.. The distribution of pass -by trips must
reflect the predominant commuting directions on adjacent
and nearby roadv,aay facilities. Most peak period pass -by
trips are an intermediate link in a work trip.
- Conduct two separate trip assignments, one for• pass -by
trips and one for• nev,, trips. The distribution for pass -by
trips will require that trips be subtracted from some
intersection approaches and added back in to others.
Typically, this wi 1 1 involve reducing through-r•oa.dvlay
volumes and increasing certain turning movements'
- Combine the assigned trips. to yield the total link
loadings, and proceed with capacity analysis as normally
done.
Figure 7 shows the short range Saturday peak hour•
assignment and the afternoon peak hour assignment of the
Market Place generated traffic with background traffic in the
area. Figure 8 shows the long range peak hour assignments of
the Market Place generated traffic with the background
traffic in the area.
Traffic Projections
Daily traffic projections for the short range time
period were obtained by factoring the peak hour assignment by
1/0 .09. Figure 9 shov,1s the expected daily traffic in this
area by 1991 given the development as assumed in this report.

Signal Progression
Signal pr-ogr•ession was evaluated as. part of the South
College Avenue Access Control Plan. The time -space diagrams
from that study are included in Appendix. C.
Operations Analysis.
Capacity analyses were performed on key intersections
adjacent to the Market Place in both the short range and long
range condi t ions..
Using the traffic volumes shown in Figure 7 and the
existing geometric=_., the intersections operate in the short
range condition as indicated in Table 3. Calculation forms
for these analyses are provided in Appendix D. It i
expected that all intersections will operate at acceptable
levels (level of service D or better) during both peak hours.
LJith the existing signal control, the College/Troutman
intersection operates acceptably. The short range geometric
requirements. are shown in Figure 1 1 . The left -turn lanes can
be accommodated on College Avenue. Hot;jever, the left -turn
lanes cannot be accommodated on Troutman Parkway. (,•Jest of
College, observation indicated that during the peak hours,
left -turning vehicles exceeded the available storage and
stacked in the through lane. It is likely that this would
occur- on the east side of Col 1 ege. There wi 1 1 be
approximately 230 feet, from stop bar to stop bar, on
Troutman between College and the access to the Market Place.
This is not enough to accommodate the left -turn lane
requirements., which minimumly total 325 feet plus taper.
There is little that can be done to correct this. The access
point to the Pavillion is established and it is proper that
the access to the Market Place line up with this access. The
68 foot width of Troutman Parkway can provide the possi bi 1 i ty
of side -by -side left -turn lanes. which can be accommodated
using the minimum left -turn lane lengths. Detailed design is
beyond the scope of this study.
It is recommended that the proposed curb cut to Pad A
from the right-in/eight-out access be eliminated. This pad
can get adequate access from the curb cut located
approximately 200 feet from College Avenue.
Usi nq the traffic volumes shown in Figure 8 and
recommended geometries., the intersections operate in the long
r•ang_e condition as indicated in Table 4. Calculation forms
for these analyses are provided in Appendix. E. At the
signalized intersection, operation during the peak hours will

be acceptable with a double left -turn lane in the s.outhbound
direction on College Avenue. Without this geometric
improvement, the intersection will operate very inefficiently
as indicated by the unacceptable operation with the existing
geometr•ics. Left -turn exits from the Market Place and the
Pavillion will experience level of service E operation during
the peak hours. While unacceptable, there is little that can
be done to improve this. This condition will likely last for
only a few minutes (15-30) during the peak hour. Provision
of a left -turn lane and a through/right-turn lane will
confine delays• to only those vehicles desiring to turn left.
However, most of the traffic assigned to these movements do
have alternative means of egress which may be a little longer -
in distance but will be shorter in time during the peak
hours. Figure 12 shows a schematic of the geometric
requirements at each analyzed intersection under the lono
range condition. Much of the geometric discussion in the
short ra.nge applies to the lono range condition. In the long
range condition, even the minimum left -turn lane lengths will
not be able to be accommodated on Troutman Parkway east or
west of College Avenue. It is. hoped that the recirculation
roads, Mason t.,test of College and JFK Parkway east of College
will remove some of this traffic from this. area.
The r i oht-i n 'right -out access from Col 1 ege Avenue is in
accordance with the South College Avenue Access• Control Plan.
College Avenue has three lanes in each direction in this
area. According to Section 4.7.1 e. of the State Highway
Access Code, "Where there are three or more through lanes in
the direction of travel, the Department will normally drop
the requirement for right turn acceleration and deceleration
lanes. However, each case shall be reviewed independently
and a decision made based upon site specific conditions.
Generally, the lanes will be required only for high volume
access or when a specific geometric safety problem exist."
The site plan shows_. a right -turn deceleration lane into
this access. With the 45 mph posted speed, a deceleration
lane of 375 feet is required. The tangent distance south of
this access is 420 feet. This is long enough to accommodate
the northbound right -turn deceleration lane (including taper)
and allow a. 45 foot "bulb" just north of the Troutman curb
return. The taper should be included in the overall
deceleration lane length due to the physical constraint and
since the deceleration lane is not absolutely required
according to the access code. This combined deceleration
lane and taper has been designed at other locations_., most
notably at the right-in/right-out to the Pavillion Shopping
Center.
As. previously stated, the access to the Market Place is.
in conformance with the South College Avenue Access Control
Plan. A right-in/right-out acces_.s_. is recommended at the
approximate location proposed in this plan. While not

suggested in the South College Avenue Access Control Plan, a
left -in only at the proposed right-in/right-out access to
College Avenue would decrease the number of left -turns on
Troutman Parkway. This, in turn, improves the operation and
the left -turn lane requirements on Troutman Parkway. It is
not suggested that this limited left turn be implemented as
part of this plan, but rather that it be considered as. a
potential solution should operation of the area streets
warrant it. This potential solution will require more
analysis and design considerations that are beyond the scope
of this report.
Accident Analysis
In 1985, 1986, and 1987, there were 13, 14, and 15
accidents, respectively at/near the College/Troutman
intersection. This is 7% of the accidents that occurred in
the South College Corridor (Swallow,, to Trilby) in that same
time period. While no one wants. an accident, some are
inevitable. This number generally is at an acceptable level
for urban conditions. The recommended control devices and
geometrics should minimize vehicular conflicts and maximize
vehicle separation. Therefore, the accident rate should be
at its minimum for a typical urban condition.
I V . COHCLUS I Qh1S
This study assessed the impacts of the Market Place on
the existing (short range - 1991) and future (long range -
2010) street system in the vicinity of the proposed
development. As a result of this analysis, the following is
concluded:
- The development of the Market Place is feasible from
a traffic engineering standpoint. At full development of the
Market Place as proposed, approximately 6,400 trip ends will
be generated at this site on a typical weekday. Some of
these will be from the background traffic already passing by
this site. The land to the north will generate approximately
3,100 additional daily trip ends when it is developed.
- Using the existing peak hour traffic volumes,
acceptable operation exists at the College/Troutman and
Troutman/Pavillion access intersections.
- By 1991, given the existing traffic and proposed
development of the Market Place, acceptable operation will
exist at all key inter -sections. The geometric requirements
on Troutman will be minimal given the existing location of
the Pavillion Access. This constraint may necessitate side -
by -side left -turn lanes at this location.
0 0
At full development of the Market Place, the land to
the north, and considerable other development (east of JFK
Parkway) in this part of Fort Collins, acceptable operation
is achievable at the College/Troutman intersection with
double left -turn lanes in the southbound direction on College
Avenue. Left -turn exits at the Troutman/Access intersection
will experience some unacceptable operation during the peak
hours. This will not likely last for very long. The delayed
vehicles will be on -site and will not negatively affect the

will serve as a recirculation street east of College Avenue,
reducing some of the left -turn requirements on Troutman.

CAPACITY AND LEVEL OF SERVICE
0-041w : r r w M M= M M
The concepts of capacity and level of service are central to
the analysis of intersections, as they are for all types of facilities.
In intersection analysis, however, the two concepts are not as
strongly correlated as they are for other facility types. In pre-
vious chapters, the same analysis results yielded a determination
of both the capacity and level of service of the facility. For
signalized intersections, the two are analyzed separately, and
are not simply related to each other. It is critical to note at the
outset, however, that both capacity and level of service must be
fully considered to evaluate the overall operation of a signalized
intersection.
Capacity analysis of intersections results in the computation
of v/c ratios for individual movements and a composite v/c
ratio for the sum of critical movements or lane groups within
-the intersection. The r/c ratio is the actual or projected rate of
flow on an approach or designated group of lanes during a peak
15-min interval divided by the capacity of the approach or
designated group of lanes. Level of service is based on the
average stopped delay per vehicle for various movements within
the intersection. While v/c affects delay, there are other param-
eters that more strongly affect it, such as the quality of pro-
gression, length of green phases, cycle lengths, and others. Thus,
for any given v/c ratio, a range of delay values may result, and
vice -versa. For this reason, both the capacity and level of service
of the intersection must be carefully examined. These two con-
cepts are discussed in detail in the following sections.
Capaalty of Signalized Intersections
Capacity at intersections is defined for each approach. Inter-
section approach capacity is the maximum rate of flow (for the
subject approach) which may pass through the intersection un-
der prevailing traffic, roadway, and signalization conditions. The
rate of flow is generally measured or projected for a 15-min
period, and capacity is stated in vehicles per hour.
Traffic conditions include volumes on each approach, the dis-
tribution of vehicles by movement (left, through, right), the
vehicle type distribution within each movement, the location of
and use of bus stops within the intersection area, pedestrian
crossing flows, and parking movements within the intersection
area.
Roadway conditions include the basic geometries of the in-
tersection, including the number and width of lanes, grades,
and lane -use allocations (including parking lanes).
Signalization conditions include a full definition of the signal
phasing, liming, type of control, and an evaluation of signal
progression on each approach.
The capacity of designated lanes or groups of lanes within an
approach may also be evaluated and determined using the pro-
cedures of this chapter. This may be done to isolate lanes serving
a particular movement or movements, such as an exclusive right -
or left -turn lane. Lanes so designated for separate analysis are
referred to as "lane groups." The procedure herein contains
guidelines for when and how separate lanes groups should be
designated in an approach.
Capacity at signalized intersections is based on the concept
of saturation flow and saturation flow rates. Saturation flow rate
is defined as the maximum rate of flow that can pass through
a given intersection approach or lane group under prevailing
traffic and roadway conditions, assuming that the approach or
lane group had 100 percent of real time available as effective
green time. Saturation flow rate is given the symbol s, and is
expressed in units of vehicles per hour of effective green time
(vphg).

The flow ratio for a given approach or lane group is defined The critical r/c ratio for the intersection is defined in terms
as the ratio of the actual flow rate for the approach or lane of critical lane groups or approaches:
group, Y. to the saturation flow rate. The flow ratio is given the
symbol, (v/s)„ for approach or lane group I.
The capacity of a given lane group or approach may be stated X, _ (r/s)„ X [C/(C—L)) (9-3)
as:
where:
c, = s, X (g/c), (9-1)
where:
c, = capacity of lane group or approach 4 in vph;
s, — saturation flow rate for lane group or approach
4 in Yphg; and
(g/C), — green ratio for lane group or approach I.
The ratio of flow rate to capacity, v/c, is given the symbol
X in intersection analysis. This new symbol is introduced in this
chapter to emphasize the strong relationship of capacity to sig-
nalization conditions, and for consistency with the literature,
which also refers to this variable as the "degree of saturation."
For a given lane group or approach is
X, _ (v/c), = v,/[s, X (g/c),] (9-2)
X, — r,C/sg, = (►/s),/(g/C),
where:
X, = r/c ratio for lane group or approach f;
Y. = actual flow rate for lane group or approach i. in
vph;
s, = saturation flow rate for lane group or approach I.
in vphg; and
g, — effective green time for lane group i or approach 4
in sec.
Values of X, range from 1.00 when the flow rate equals ca-
pacity to 0.00 when the flow rate is zero.
The capacity of the full intersection is not a significant concept
and is not specifically defined herein. Rarely do all movements
at an intersection become saturated at the same time of day. It
is the ability of individual movements to move through the
intersection with some efficiency which is the critical concern.
Another rapacity concept of utility in the analysis of signal-
ized intersections is, however, the critical v/c ratio, X,. This is
a v/c ratio for the intersection as a whole, considering only the
lane groups or approaches that have the highest flow ratio,
v/s, for a given signal phase.
For example, in a two-phase signal, opposing approaches
move during the same green time. Generally, one of these two
approaches will require more green time than the other (i.e., it
will have a higher flow ratio). This would be the "critical'
approach for the subject signal phase. Each signal phase will
have a critical lane group or approach that determines the green
time requirements for the phase. Where signal phases overlap,
the identification of these critical lane groups or approaches is
somewhat complex, and is discussed in the "Methodology" sec-
tion of this chapter.
X, =

1(v/s)„ =

C =
cycle length, in sec; and
L =
total lost time per cycle, computed as the
sum of "start-up" and change interval lost
time minus the portion of the change in-
terval used by vehicles for each critical
signal phase.
This equation is useful in evaluating the overall intersection
with respect to the geometries and total cycle length provided,
and is also useful in estimating signal timings where they are
not known or specified by local policies or procedures. It gives
the v/c ratio for all critical movements, assuming that green
time has been appropriately or proportionally allocated. It is
therefore possible to have a critical r/c ratio of less than 1.00,
end still have individual movements oversaturated within the
signal cycle. A critical r/c ratio less than 1.00, however, does
indicate that all movements in the intersection can be accom-
modated within the defined cycle length and phase sequence by
proportionally allocating green time. In essence, the total avail-
able green time in the phase sequence is adequate to handle all
movements if properly allocated.
The analysis of capacity in this chapter focuses on the com-
putation of saturation flow rates, v/e ratios, and capacities for
various approaches or lane groups of the intersection. Proce-
dures for these computations are described in greater detail in
the "Methodology" and "Procedures for Application" sections
of this chapter.
Level of Service for Signalized Intersections
Level of service for signalized intersections is defined in terms
of delay. Delay is a measure of driver discomfort, frustration,
fuel consumption, and lost travel time. Specifically, level -of -
service criteria are stated in terms of the average stopped delay
per vehicle for a 15-min analysis period. The criteria are given
in Table 9-I.
Delay may be measured in the field, or may be estimated
using procedures presented later in this chapter. Delay is a
complex measure, and is dependent on a number of variables,
including the quality of progression, the cycle length, the green
ratio, and the v/c ratio for the lane group or approach in
question.
Level -of -service A describes operations with very low delay,
i.e., less than 5.0 sec per vehicle. This occurs when progression
is extremely favorable, and most vehicles arrive during the green
phase. Most vehicles do not stop at all. Short cycle lengths may
also contribute to low delay.
Level-of-senice B describes operations with delay in the range
of 5.1 to 15.0 sec per vehicle. This generally occurs with good
progression and/or short cycle lengths. More vehicles stop than
for LOS A, causing higher levels of average delay.

Level -of -service C describes operations with delay in the range
of 15.1 to 25.0 sec per vehicle. These higher delays may result
from fair progression and/or longer cycle lengths. Individual
cycle failures may begin to appear in this level. The number of
vehicles stopping is significant at this level, although many still
pass through the intersection without stopping.
Level -of -service D describes operations with delay in the range
of 25.1 to 40.0 sec per vehicle. At level D, the influence of
congestion becomes more noticeable. Longer delays may result
from some combination of unfavorable progression, long cycle
lengths, or high v/c ratios. Many vehicles stop, and the pro-
portion of vehicles not stopping declines. Individual cyr -
ores are noticeable.
Level -of -service E describes operations with delay in the range
of 40.1 to 60.0 sec per vehicle. This is considered to be the limit
of acceptable delay. These high delay values generally indicate
poor progression, long cycle lengths, and high v/c ration. In-
dividual cycle failures are frequent occurrences.
Level -of -service Fdescribes operations with delay in excess of
60.0 sec per vehicle. This is considered to be unacceptable to
most drivers. This condition often occurs with oversaturation,
i.e., when arrival flow rates exceed the capacity of the intersec-
tion. It may also occur at high v/c ratios below 1.00 with many
individual cycle failures. Poor progression and long cycle lengths
may also be major contributing causes to such delay levels.
Relsting Capacity and Level of Service
Because delay is a complex measure, its relationship to ca-
pacity is also complex. The levels of service of Table 9-1 have
been established based on the acceptability of various delays to
drivers. It is important to note that this concept is not related
to capacity in a simple one -tonne fashion.
In previous chapters, the lower bound of LOS E h ys
been defined to be capacity, i.e., the v/c ratio is, by definition,
1.00. This is not the case for the procedures of this chapter. It
is possible, for example, to have delays in the range of LOS F
(unacceptable) while the v/c ratio is below 1.00, perhaps as low
as 0.75-0.85. Very high delays can occur at such r/c ratios
when some combination of the following conditions exists: (1)
the cycle length is long, (2) the lane group in question is dis-
advantaged (has a long red time) by the signal timing, and/or
(3) the signal progression for the subject movements is poor.
The reverse is also possible: a saturated approach or lane
group (i.e., v/c ratio = 1.00) may have low delays if: (1) the
cycle length is short, and/or (2) the signal progression is favor-
able for the subject movement. Thus, the designation of LOS F
does not automatically imply that the intersection, approach, or
lane group is overloaded, nor does a level of service in the A
to E range automatically imply that there is unused capacity
available.
The procedures and methods of this chapter require the anal.
ysis of both capacity and level -of -service conditions to fully
evaluate the operation of a signalized intersection. It is imper-
ative that the analyst recognize the unique relationship of these
LEVEL OF SERVICE CRITERIA
FOR
' UNSIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS
Level -of -service criteria for unsianalized intersec-
tions are stated in very general terms, and are related
to general delay ranges. Analysis for a stop- or
yield -controlled intersection results in solutions for -
the capacity of each lane on the minor approaches. The
level -of -service criteria are then based on the
reserve, or unused, capacity of the lane in question,
expressed in passenger cars per hour- (PCPH).
