Every section analyzed operates at LOS E or <br /> LOS F in both directions during both peak hours The most important contributing factors appear to be traffic volumes <br /> and speeds;lack of bicycle lanes;limited width of shoulders and outside travel lanes;limited sight distance, and density <br /> of access points. <br /> Table 10: Corridor Segment Bicycle LOS Summary for US 70 <br /> Segment AM Peak PM Peak <br /> Segment Segment Location Length <br /> (miles) Segment BLOS Segment BLOS <br /> BLOS Score BLOS Score <br /> A Supper Club Rd to Mace Rd(EB I WB) 1.7 F/F 5.61 /5.59 E/E 5.29/5.41 <br /> B Buckhorn Rd to Efland-Cedar Grove Rd(EB I WB) 3.9 F I E 5.58/4.56 E 1 E 5.29/5.30 <br /> C East of US 70 Connector to Hillsborough Border(EB/WB) 1.4 F I F 6.03/6.15 F 1 F 5.54/5.71 <br /> E US 70 Bus to Pleasant Green Rd(EB/WB) 2.2 F 1 F 5.85/6.07 F 1 F 6.30/5.56 <br /> 59 US 70 Multimodal Corridor Study Existing Conditions Report <br />
