The Town. of Chapel Hilt has'made a traffic analysis on the number of <br /> movements on the three intersections that. are being studied. The following <br /> numbers show the increased impact. <br /> Weaver Dairy and N.C. 86. Level A Service <br /> Current.Movements Chandler's Green <br /> 1142 movements 58 movements - 5% increase <br /> • <br /> Erwin. Road and Weaver Pair <br /> 820 movements. Y _ Level A Service <br /> 21 movements - 3% increase <br /> N.C. 15-501 and Erwin Road Level .0 Service- <br /> ? - 286 movements 15 movements - h% increase <br /> The ADT for Weaver Dairy Road, Sunrise Drive and Erwin Road has in- <br /> creased slightly by the new volume conimg out of Chandler's Green. Weaver <br /> Dairy Road will increase from: the current 4187 ADT to 5377 AOT, whereas <br /> the approximate capacity of Weaver Dairy Road is over 10,000 AOT's. The <br /> total capacities for Sunrise' Drive and Erwin Road are not significantly <br /> affected by the .additional ADT's- form this project. <br /> D. Conclusion: <br /> This report has studied the affects of the traffic.generated by <br /> Chandlers. Green on Weaver Dairy Road, Sunrise Drive, Erwin Road <br /> and the intersections that would be affected by these roads. <br /> The roads are very capable of handling much greater volumes than <br /> are generated by this project. Weaver Dairy Road would have to <br /> carry twice as much traffic as it is currently before it would <br /> be at its approximate capacity. <br /> The major intersections have been analyzed and the amount of increase <br /> generated by Chandler's Green at the peak p.m. hour will not reduce <br /> the level of service at these intersections. <br /> The improvement of the property frontage along Sunrise Drive and <br /> . Weaver Dairy Road will allow for left turn lanes which will <br /> facilitate turning ing traffic entering the new development. <br /> I - <br />
