an intersection that is operating over capacity. LOS A through D is generally considered acceptable for peak <br />hour conditions in an urban area. The traffic operations were analyzed for the AM and PM peak hours to <br />properly identify potential impacts and recommended mitigation measures. <br />This study used the LOS D/E boundary as an indicator of satisfactory traffic operations. The exhibit below <br />displays the LOS thresholds for signalized and unsignalized intersections. <br />Regional Roadway System <br />The regional roadway system is expected to include many improvements in the near future. Changes <br />include reconstruction of I-35W interchanges at CR H and CR 96. For this traffic study, these changes were <br />included for purposes of regional trip distribution and anticipated intersection geometrics. An analysis of the <br />freeway operations will be conducted as part of the Interstate Access Modification Request, as required for <br />these interchange projects. Any significant changes in the AUAR study area redevelopment plan will need to <br />be analyzed as either an AUAR update, or the applicable regional roadway system projects. <br />Existing Conditions Traffic Analysis <br />The existing conditions analysis includes both unsignalized and signalized intersections. For this AUAR <br />level analysis, signal timing for all scenarios have been optimized to provide estimates of potential traffic <br />operational conditions. The results are presented inTable 18-2. <br />June 2014– Final AUAR26 <br />
