53 <br /> Kimley>Morn White Cross Retail—Orange County, NC <br /> 7.0 Segment Capacity Analysis <br /> The Orange County Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) requires an analysis of average <br /> weekday traffic volumes. 24-hour volume counts were performed at the following locations: <br /> • NC 54 west of White Cross Road November 2,2022 <br /> • NC 54 east of White Cross Road November 2,2022 <br /> • White Cross Road south of NC 54 November 2,2022 <br /> Consistent with the peak hour capacity analysis performed above, these existing volumes were <br /> grown at a 1.25%annual rate up to 2024 and were then added to the projected site traffic volumes <br /> to obtain projected(2024)build-out traffic volumes at each location. <br /> The projected (2024) build-out traffic volumes were compared to the thresholds for transitioning <br /> areas published in 2013 Quality/Level of Service Handbook published by the Florida Department <br /> of Transportation(FDOT). Table 7.1 below summarizes this comparison. <br /> Table 7.1 <br /> Daily Traffic Volume Summary (vehicles per day) <br /> Projected (2024) FDOT <br /> Segment Roadway Conditions Build-out QLOS D <br /> Daily Volume Threshold <br /> NC 54 west of Interrupted Flow Facilities <br /> White Cross Road Class I State Signalized Arterials 11,516 16,200 <br /> Two-lane Undivided <br /> NC 54 east of Interrupted Flow Facilities <br /> White Cross Road Class I State Signalized Arterials 11,803 16,200 <br /> Two-lane Undivided <br /> White Cross Road Interrupted Flow Facilities <br /> south of NC 54 Class I Non-State Signalized Road 2,671 14,580 <br /> Two-lane Undivided <br /> As shown in Table 7.1, the projected (2024) build-out daily traffic volumes are expected to fall <br /> below the FDOT LOS D thresholds on all three segments. <br /> Note that the Level of Service D Standards for Systems Level Planning report published by <br /> NCDOT's Transportation Planning Branch in October 2011 was considered as a possible source <br /> for segmental capacity LOS thresholds. However, the road characteristics included in the FDOT <br /> methodology were judged to better match the road characteristics of the study area. <br /> Daily volume development calculations are detailed in the Appendix. <br /> 15 <br />
