''� Memorandum to Jeff Agnes and Jamie Swanson Subject: Supplemental Trafiic Review for Outlot 81 Concept PUD ior Har Mar Shopping Center Page 7 of 9 December 21. 2007 Future Safety Conditions with Pro�osed Outlot 81 PUD As presented in the previous section, the existing right turns out at the westerly ri�ht turn access and eastbound u-turns at the County Road B/main access intersection presently operate at a high level of safety. Based on our investigation, the proposed PUD for outlot 81 will not significantly alter this existing high level of safety for the following reasons: • As shown in Figure 1, the proposed outlot 81 PUD will not alter the number of eastbound u-turns at the County Road B/main access intersection. . • The proposed outlot 81 PUD also will not alter the movements, which include westbound through and southbound right turn movements, that directly interact with the u-turns. • The only movements that ;��ill e;.perience a slight increase in traffic volume are eastbound right turns, westbound left turns, northbound left turns, and northbound right turns. None of these movements directly interact with eastbound u-turns. For example, when the northbound left turns have a green indication, the eastbound u-turn and left turn movements have a red indication. • As indicated in Figure 2, the proposed outlot 81 PUD will not alter the existing level of service for any of the moveinents. Based on the data presented in Table 1, it is important to note that less than half the existing u- turns are made by motorists who have exited from the Har Mar site. Thus, more than half the u- turns that presently occur, including those made during the time periods when u-turns are prohibited, still �vould occur if the ri�ht turn out from the Har Mar site were eliminated. Though our analyses have clearly demonstrated no safety problems occur due to u-turns by motorists exiting fi-om the Har Mar site, Har Mar management will install a guide sign on their site to help direct some of the motorists presently exiting at the right turn access and making a u- turn at the main access to use the main access for exiting purposes. Figure 3 presents a conceptual plan regarding the location and messa�e for such signing.
