Buc-ee’s Phase 2 – Efland, NC <br /> <br />ES-3 <br /> <br />Table ES-2 (cont.) <br />Level-of-Service Summary <br />Condition AM Peak Hour <br />LOS (Delay) <br />PM Peak Hour <br />LOS (Delay) <br />I-40 WB Service Road & East RI/RO Site Driveway (Unsignalized)* <br />Background (2023) Traffic SB – A (2.4) SB – A (3.8) <br />Build-out (2023) Traffic SB – A (2.3) SB – A (3.0) <br />I-40 WB Service Road & West RI/RO Site Driveway (Unsignalized)* <br />Background (2023) Traffic SB – A (2.2) SB – A (6.3) <br />Build-out (2023) Traffic SB – A (2.0) SB – A (9.1) <br />Mt. Willing Road & Site Driveway (Unsignalized)* <br />Build-out (2023) Traffic WB – C (25.0) WB – E (45.0) <br />* Note: HCM methodology does not report an overall level of service for unsignalized intersections. The level of <br />service and delay for the worst approach (per SimTraffic) are reported above for unsignalized intersections. <br /> <br />A weaving analysis (see Appendix) was performed for the weekday AM and PM peak hours for <br />the projected (2023) build-out traffic condition using Highway Capacity Software (HCS Version <br />7.8.5) to determine the operating conditions of the I-40 Service Road segments between Mt. <br />Willing Road and US-70/I-40 Connector. The peak hour weaving LOS and volume-to-capacity <br />ratio for the projected (2023) build-out condition is shown below in Table ES-3. <br /> <br />Table ES-3 <br />Weaving Level-of-Service Summary <br />Condition AM Peak Hour <br />LOS (Delay) <br />PM Peak Hour <br />LOS (Delay) <br />I-40 EB Service Road (Mt.

Willing Road – I-40 WB Ramps <br /> Construct a westbound left-turn lane with 280 feet of storage and an appropriate taper on the <br />I-40 WB Ramp. <br />441
