Lexington S of CR E <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />An intersection capacity analysis was conducted for the <br />existing intersections per the Highway Capacity Manual. <br />Intersections are assigned a "Level of Service" letter grade for <br />the peak hour of traffic based on the number of lanes at the <br />intersection, traffic volumes and traffic control. <br /> <br />Level of Service A (LOS A) represents light traffic flow (free <br />flow conditions) while Level of Service F (LOS F) represents <br />heavy traffic flow (over capacity conditions). LOS D is <br />considered acceptable in urban conditions. The photos on the <br />left represent some of the LOS grades (from a signal controlled <br />intersection in San Jose, CA). <br /> <br />The LOS results for the existing study hours are shown in <br />Table 2. These are based on the existing traffic control and <br />lane configurations as shown in Figure 6. The existing turning <br />movement volumes from Figure 7 were used in the LOS <br />calculations. The LOS calculations were done using <br />SYNCHRO™ software. Ramsey County's existing timing <br />plans were used in the analyses. The complete LOS <br />calculations are included in Appendix A. <br /> <br />2-18 Guiding Plan for the B2 District <br /> <br />20 October <br />
