TRAFFIC VOLUME ANALYSIS <br />After developing the proposed roadway network, Volkert assigned the traffic volumes generated as <br />discussed above to the roadway network. Information indicating the process used to generate traffic <br />volumes is included in Attachment D. <br />For the areas with future development proposed, Volkert assumed that all traffic would be going to/ <br />coming from the closest interchange, i.e.: traffic on the west side of the study area would be going to <br />the interchange at Buckhorn Road and I‐40 and any traffic on the east side would be going to the <br />interchange at Mount Willing Road and I‐40. The Pod Traffic volumes generated in Table 1 were added <br />to the future 2025 AADTs of the existing roadway network based on the proposed access points. Pod <br />traffic volumes were assigned proportionally to each access point. Volkert assumed that fifty percent <br />of the project traffic going through the interchanges would be headed westbound on I‐40 and the <br />other fifty percent would be headed eastbound. <br />These volumes were added to the volumes from the NCDOT traffic volume maps for the area to give a <br />general idea of how many lanes would need to be created for new roads or added to existing roads. <br />The daily traffic volumes along with the AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes are provided in the <br />following figures for the Buckhorn Road, W. Ten Road, and Mt. Willing Road interchanges with I‐40. <br />Existing and future AADT’s are shown in figures 9 and 10 respectively. It should be noted that a future <br />interchange at Mattress Factory Road has been proposed by the Burlington‐Graham Metropolitan <br />Planning Organization (B‐G MPO) and will significantly impact traffic counts if constructed. <br />Recommendations for the future road network are to 2025 and may require additional technical <br />analysis at the time of implementation. <br />Based on future traffic forecasts, an initial 3-lane cross-section will be sufficient to handle traffic on <br />Buckhorn Road in the short term; however, it will likely be necessary to retain right-of-way to allow <br />for a four-lane with median or five-lane cross-section as warranted in the future. <br /> 83
