215 In a similar manner, it is estimated that once the Hart's Mill generated traffic reaches the intersection with US 70, most of the trips will right -hand turn onto US 70 with either I -85 as a destination via Buckhorn Road, SR 1114, as a destination or they proceed further south on Buckhorn with NC 54, Saxapahaw, Carboro, or Chapel Hill as destinations. The projected peak hourly AM trips generated by the model for Hart's Mill at build -out show 4 entering and 16 departing. The peak hourly PM trips show 30 entering and 17 departing. These hourly levels are not expected to degrade the level -of- service at the Frazier Road intersection with US 70 to the south or, if traffic from Hart's Mill exits or enters toward to /from the north, with Lebanon. The projected average weekday trips generated by the model for Hart's Mill at build -out show 120 entering and 119 exiting. It is fair to say that no positive gain in vehicles is expected at Hart's Mill and that the net traffic in and out will be the same because there will be no other outlet from the community. Based on the 2013 NCDOT AADT data, at build -out the projected level of 120 average weekday trips from Hart's Mill would be expected to increase the overall traffic on Frazier Road by about 7 %, using the reported AADT of 1,700 vehicles per day on Lebanon Road as a base line. Alternately stated, this would be a 1.4% increase per year over the projected five -year build out of Hart's Mill. In a like manner, the projected level of 120 average weekday trips at build -out from Hart's Mill would be expected to increase the overall traffic on US 70 by about 2 %, using the reported AADT of 5,900 vehicles per day on US 70 as a base line. Alternately stated, this would be a 0.4% increase per year over the projected five -year build out of Hart's Mill.
