Buc-ee’s – Efland, NC <br /> <br />19 <br /> <br />Capacity analyses (see Appendix) were performed for the weekday AM, PM and Saturday peak <br />hours for the existing (2019) traffic condition and the projected (2022) background and build-out <br />traffic conditions using Synchro/SimTraffic Version 10 software to determine the operating <br />characteristics of the adjacent road network and the impacts of the proposed project. Capacity <br />analyses were performed at the following intersections: <br /> <br /> US-70 – Efland-Cedar Grove Road <br /> Mt. Willing Road – Forrest Avenue <br /> Mt. Willing Road – I-40 WB Ramps <br /> Mt. Willing Road – I-40 EB Ramps <br /> US-70/I-40 Connector – I-40 EB Ramps <br /> US-70/I-40 Connector – I-40 WB Ramps <br /> US-70/I-40 Connector – Ben Johnston Road/Site Driveway <br /> I-40 WB Service Road – East RI/RO Site Driveway <br /> I-40 WB Service Road – West RI/RO Site Driveway <br /> <br />Existing peak hour factors (PHF’s) were used where current conditions exceed the default value <br />of 0.90 in the existing and background traffic conditions, while a consistent PHF of 0.90 was used <br />at all study intersections in the build-out analyses. Where count or projected volumes are less than <br />4, a minimum volume of 4 was used in the Synchro analysis to be conservative. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />140
