EXISTING CONDIT_I_O_NS Two of the three intersections that peak allutedggenerally operate peratevat high levels of service during PM pea periods. Dairy Road intersection andlihelWeav oaErwin is free intersection operated flowing during the peak period. The intersection of US 15-501 and Erwin Road still maintains a stable flow. However, ome congst ion could be observed.. The weekday peak f area generally occurs between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm. Figure 3 shows existing peak hour traffic movements on the streets and major intersections. We used a critical movement summatiom technique to determis tec level of service at which the intersections were operating. defines critical movement volumes as: "The volume traletthrough represented by the highest lane volumes of opposing and left turns) from both north-south t and i ea t-we et cdr i to ct i onsvthat occurs during the peak hour.

The most recently adopted Chapel Hill/Carrboro Thoroughfare Plan was based on maintaining service level D systemwide. TRIP GENERATION Trip generation, for the purposes of this analysis, is defined as the number of vehicle-trips that a particular land use creates. In Table 1 , we listed below new developments along othe herccr idorothat aiegeither under construction, approved for future generation approval . The size of each development, its peak trip rate, and the number of vehicles expected to be generated by the development also are listed.
