<br />~r <br /> <br />rt <br />Traffic Summary <br />An analysis was done to determine the impact of the proposed Hillsborough Assemblage project <br />at full build-out along Old NC 86. The analysis showed that all of the studied intersections along <br />Old NC 86 will operate acceptably with the improvements listed below and shown on Figure 4. <br />The proposed Hillsborough Assemblage project will widen Old NC 86 along the project frontage <br />to the ultimate four-lane section with appropriate turn-lanes and traffic signals when warranted. <br />Figure 4 shows the proposed improvements by the Hillsborough Assemblage project with the <br />Transportation Plan improvements and modifications to the Interstate ramps that will be needed <br />to accommodate the year 2005 total traffic volumes. Table 1 summarizes the Level-of-Service <br />(LOS) at each of the studied intersections. <br />Table 1 <br />Projected (2005) Level-of-Service Summary <br />with Develo ment and Roadwa Im rovements <br /> <br />Intersection AM Peak <br />LOS Dela PM Peak <br />LOS Dela <br />Old NC 86 / I-40 Eastbound Ramps B (12.9) B (13.3) <br />Old NC 86 / I-40 Westbound Ramps` Short Delays for <br />Left Turns Moderate Delays <br />for Left Turns <br />Old NC 86 / I-85 Northbound Ramps B (8.5) B (11.1) <br />Old NC 86 / I-85 Southbound Ramps C (21.0) D (30.9) <br />Old NC 86 / Oakdale Drive C (17.1) B (10.8) <br />Old NC 86 /Cardinal Drive B (6.1) A (4.1) <br />* - Unstgnalrzea <br />
