409 August 5,2020 Mr.Chuck Edwards,PE,District Engineer Page 4 of 15 Reference: Research Triangle Logistics Park TIA Supplement Old NC 86 and Davis Road Intersection: Since we only have peak hour traffic volumes for this location, it was verified that this location will meet the peak hour warrant for signalization. Based on this, a traffic signal should be installed at this location. With the traffic signal, all approaches operate at a Level of Service C or better in both peak hours and there are no excessive queues. Additional turn lanes were noted in the TIA review, but based on the results, the traffic signal mitigates the impact of the proposed development with acceptable levels of service on all approaches. Service Road and Site Driveways A, B, and C: NCDOT concurred with the recommendations in the TIA. It is noted that a 100' minimum internal protected stem should be provided at each driveway. Davis Road and Site Driveway D: It is anticipated that almost all commercial vehicles will enter via the Service Road, so most vehicles entering at Driveway D will be employees in personal vehicles. Due to the very low volume of westbound through traffic, we are requesting that this location have a shared through /right turn lane on Davis Road. In the morning, it is anticipated that there will be 24 vehicles turning right at this location with 81 vehicles going through. In the afternoon, 8 vehicles are expected to turn right with 176 travelling through. It is noted that a 100' minimum internal protected stem should be provided at this driveway. Multi-modal and Streetscape Enhancements: These were not included in the TIA. Any enhancements required by Orange County will be coordinated with NCDOT. An updated traffic analysis has been performed and is included in the attachments. Design with community in mind
