7s <br />Carolina Friends School <br />Traffic Impact Analysis <br />are reported in the summary tables of this report. Generally, LOS D is acceptable <br />for signalized intersections in suburban areas during peak periods. With the <br />current method of reporting LOS for unsignalized intersections, it is not <br />uncommon for some of the minor street movements to be operating at a LOS F <br />during peak hour conditions. <br />Table 2 presents the criteria of each LOS as indicated in the Highway Capacity <br />ManUC113.. <br />Table 2: level -of - Service Criteria3 Unsignalized Intersections <br />Level -of- Service Criteria <br />Unsignalized Intersections <br />Level-of-Service <br />Stopped Delay per Vehicle (sec) <br />A <br />510.0 <br />B <br />>10.0 and 5 15 <br />C <br />>15 and :5 25 <br />D <br />>25 and :5 35 <br />E <br />>35 and :5 50 <br />>50 <br />Capacity Analyses were performed for the following intersections defined within <br />the study area for 2011 Existing, 2016 No Build and 2016 Build Out conditions. <br />A Mt.
