LOS ranges from A through F, based on the average <br /> control delay experienced by vehicles traveling through the intersection during the peak hour. Control delay <br /> represents the portion of total delay attributed to traffic control devices (e.g., signals or stop signs).The <br /> engineering profession generally accepts LOS D as an acceptable operating condition for signalized <br /> intersections in urban areas and LOS C for rural areas. <br /> 39 Existing Conditions and Critical Issues <br />
