<br />Table 7 provides a summary of the results of the warrants analysis for the CSAH 14/21'1 Avenue <br />intersection under year 2013 volume conditions. <br /> <br />Table 7 <br />Warrants Analysis Results (Year 2013 Forecasted Volumes) <br />CSAH 14121~ Avenue <br /> <br /> Year 2013 <br />Mn/MUTCD Warrant Hours Forecasted Volumes <br /> Required Hours Met Warrant Met <br />Multi-way Stop Applicalions a 2 No <br /> - <br />WarrantlA: Minimum Vehicular Volume a 2 No <br />Warrant 18: Interruption of Continuous Traffic a 3 Yes * <br />WarrantlC: Combination 01 Warrants a NlA - <br />Warrant 2: Four-hour Vehicular Volume 4 3 Yes. <br />Warrant 38: Peak Hour 1 3 Yes <br /> <br />. Based on estimating the aO-highest hour (only 3 hours required). <br /> <br />Results of the warrants analysis indicate traffic signal control is warranted at the reconstructed <br />CSAH 14121 51 Avenue intersection by satisfying the requirements of Warrants I D, 2 and 3B of <br />the MnlMUTCD under year 2013 volume forecasted volume conditions. <br /> <br />Capacity Analysis <br /> <br />As previously noted, prior studies have indicated traffic signal control is recommended at the <br />two reconstructed CSAH 14/1-3 5E ramp intersections and the reconstructed CSAH 14/21 st <br />A venue intersection. Therefore, a capacity analysis was conducted based on methods described <br />in the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual. A capacity analysis identifies a Level of Service (LOS) <br />that indicates how well an intersection is operating based on control delay. Intersections are <br />given a ranking from LOS A to LOS F. LOS A indicates the best traffic operation and LOS F <br />indicates an intersection where demand exceeds capacity. LOS A through LOS 0 are generally <br />considered acceptable. <br /> <br />Tables 8-13 provide a summary of the results of the capacity analysis. Results of the capacity <br />analysis indicate the three key traffic signal controlled intersections are anticipated to operate at <br />acceptable levels of service under both existing year 2008 and year 2030 forecasted volume <br />conditions. Results also indicate that all-way stop control at the three key intersections is <br />anticipated to operate at unacceptable levels of service under year 2030 forecasted volume <br />conditions_ <br /> <br />~CONStilT"lNG Gnoup, lNc. <br /> <br />- 11 - <br /> <br />January 30, 2009 <br /> <br />28 <br />
