58 <br /> lib <br /> 1.4.1 Corridor-Level <br /> For corridor-level capacity analysis using Highway Capacity Software Plus(HCS7),sections in four of the segments were <br /> assessed for LOS in the AM and PM peak hours.These four sections were treated as two-lane highways which matches <br /> most of the corridor.This classification applies to intercity routes connecting major traffic generators and serving <br /> commuters who expect to travel at relatively high speeds,with few or no traffic signals.For these segments,directional <br /> analysis was required to capture the effects of opposing traffic and passing restrictions. <br /> Segmental corridor analyses were conducted using the Highway Capacity Software Plus(HCS7)software package. <br /> Segmental corridor LOS results reflect daily operations;however,peak-hour parameters are considered.To analyze <br /> segments,various parameters are accounted for,including daily volume,lane width, shoulder width,peak hour <br /> directional split,terrain type,and truck percentages.Free flow speed for each of the sections was collected from <br /> StreetLight.The LOS analysis integrated data from the traffic counts collected in Fall 2022.Figure 19 graphically <br /> represents the worst case(AM or PM peak)directional LOS for the corridor. <br /> Figure 19: Corridor Level of Service Summary for US 70 <br /> Qb 4b <br /> 4b <br /> m b <br /> a a¢ o� <br /> �' Lr Us 70 BUS <br /> Signalized Inteesection <br /> cr � <br /> LOS•■A-C ■D ■E-F r c* <br /> 'Worst case from ANE and PM p-,aks <br /> 56 US 70 Multimodal Corridor Study Existing Conditions Report <br />
