157 <br /> RESEARCH TRIANGLE LOGISTICS PARK TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS <br /> Conclusions <br /> June 4, 2020 <br /> 9.0 CONCLUSIONS <br /> Using the traffic analysis presented herein, recommendations are provided to mitigate the impacts associated with <br /> the proposed development. With the recommended improvements in-place all study intersections and approaches <br /> operate at LOS D or better during both peak hours;with three (3)exceptions: <br /> • The westbound left-turn from the 1-40 Westbound ramp onto Old NC 86 operates at LOS F. Stop-controlled <br /> approaches to intersections often operate with longer delays during peak hours. Additionally,the analysis shows <br /> that the existing turn-lane storage is not exceeded. <br /> • The eastbound and northbound approaches to the intersection of Old NC 86 at 1-40 Eastbound ramp operates at <br /> LOS E. However, the overall LOS at this intersection is D. <br /> • The eastbound approach of the Service Road onto Old NC 86 operates at LOS E. Stop controlled approaches to <br /> intersections often operate with longer delays during peak hours. <br /> The analysis presented herein is conservative as it assumes that a significant portion of Waterstone is completed by <br /> the time the proposed development is opened in 2023. Furthermore, NCDOT has two(2)planned projects in the <br /> area in U-5845 (Churton Street Widening)and 1-3306A(1-40 Widening)that will make further improvements to <br /> transportation infrastructure within the study area. <br /> 34 <br />
