for average weekday traffic, the peak highway hour(s) and. if <br />appropriate. peak development- generated hour(s) for all roadways and <br />major intersections in the study area. Volume /capacity calculations <br />shall be completed for all major intersections. It is usually at these <br />locations that capacity is most restricted. <br />All access points and pedestrian crossings shall be examined fir <br />a¢agaAtg_ sight distance and [as to the feasibility of] f he ne essit <br />of installing traffic signals. [This] The traffic signal evaluation shall <br />compare the projected traffic and pedestrian volumes to the warrants <br />for traffic signal installation. <br />f. Conclusions and Recommended Improvements <br />Levels -of- service for all roadways and signalized intersections rse ving <br />10 percent or more of peak -hour prolect traffic shall be reported. All <br />roadways and /or signalized intersections showing a level of service <br />below D in urban or developed areas or below C in rural areas shall <br />be considered deficient, and specific recommendations for the <br />elimination of these problems shall be listed. This listing of <br />recommended improvements shall include, but not be limited to the <br />following elements: internal circulation design, site access location <br />and design, external roadway and intersection design and <br />improvements, traffic signal installation and operation including signal <br />timing, and transit service [design] improvements.
