An arterial LOS analysis in Synchro using HCM 2000 methodology was completed for sections in Mebane and <br /> Hillsborough due to the number and spacing of signalized intersections through both municipalities and their transition <br /> areas.2019 Free Flow Speeds from StreetLight were utilized, and Table 8 shows the LOS criteria based on travel speeds. <br /> The average speed and corresponding LOS for both sections are shown in Table 9. <br /> Table 8: Level of Service Description for Urban Streets (HCM2000) <br /> Urban Free-Flow Travel Speed Threshold lower limit by Level of Service, mi/h <br /> Street Class Speed, mi/h A B C D E <br /> 55 >42 >34 >27 >21 >16 <br /> 1 50 42 34 27 21 16 <br /> 45 42 34 27 21 16 <br /> 45 35 28 22 17 13 <br /> 11 40 35 28 22 17 13 <br /> 35 35 28 22 17 13 <br /> 111 35 30 24 18 14 10 <br /> 30 30 24 18 14 10 <br /> 35 25 19 13 9 7 <br /> IV 30 25 19 13 9 7 <br /> 25 25 19 13 9 7 <br /> 58 US 70 Multimodal Corridor Study Existing Conditions Report <br />
