Buc-ee’s Phase 2 – Efland, NC <br /> <br />21 <br /> <br />6.4 Mt. Willing Road – I-40 EB Ramps <br /> <br />Analyses indicate that the unsignalized Mt. Willing Road – I-40 EB Ramps intersection currently <br />operates with short delays on the minor street approach (I-40 EB Ramp). With the addition of <br />background and site traffic, the minor street approach is expected to operate with moderate delays <br />in the AM peak hour and short delays in the PM peak hour. Note that it is typical for the stop- <br />controlled approach with a major street to experience long delays while the major street <br />experiences little or no delay. Furthermore, in the highest volume peak hour site traffic is <br />expected to account for 6% of build-out intersection traffic volumes. SimTraffic simulations <br />indicate that maximum queues on the eastbound approach are expected to be less than 140 feet. <br /> <br />No improvements are recommended at this intersection to accommodate site traffic. <br /> <br />Table 6.4 summarizes the operation of the intersection for the existing (2020) and projected <br />(2023) background and build-out traffic conditions. <br /> <br />Table 6.4 <br />Level-of-Service <br />Mt.

The level of <br />service and delay for the worst approach (per SimTraffic) are reported above for unsignalized intersections. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />467
