A new right turn lane <br />for westbound to northbound traffic was identified as a potential option to provide some level of <br />mitigation to this site, by better serving the proj ected 458 hourly traffic count for this movement. <br />As shown in the table below, installationof this right turn lane would cause an overall <br />intersection delay reduction of a significant 10 seconds per vehicle. Examination of the <br />animation modeling also shows that with a new right turn lane in place, there is fir less <br />likelihood that the southbound right turn traffic exiting the SuperTarget lot will be trapped by <br />queued through and right-turning vehicles on County Road B. <br />Table 7 <br />CapacityAnalysis of Snelling and County Rc�ad B with Added Exclusive Right Turn Lane <br />AM.

The 860 feet must accommodatethe left turn lane storage for the west to southbound � <br />turners at Snelling Avenue and the east to northbound 1�f� tuners at State Farm Road. In <br />addition, a taper between the left t�nn lanes must be provided. For optimal traffic operations, it is <br />necessary that the 1��1 tum lanes be constructedto the maximum possible lengths. <br />The traffic analysis results were reviewed to determine the queue length requirements in each <br />direction. Based on the split of traffic and the overall operations at the two signalized <br />intersections, the �urn lane storage lengths should be allocated with 60% of the available distance <br />Page 8 <br />
