The length of vehicle queues waiting to enter the <br /> intersection-while related to delay-is not explicitly considered in calculating LOS. A separate inspection of <br /> observed/estimated queue length is required. Long vehicle queues have the potential to create problems <br /> typically by: <br /> • Exceeding available storage <br /> • Preventing turning vehicles from accessing turn lanes due while stuck in a through lane queue <br /> • Increasing rear-end crashes due to unexpected queues especially around curves <br /> • Increasing potential for blocked intersections (gridlock), driveways, crosswalks, and railroad tracks <br /> Several signalized intersections have potential long queueing issues: <br /> • Buckhorn Road NB lane (Both peak hours)-only about 150' (-6 vehicles) from at-grade railroad <br /> crossing in PM. <br /> • Efland-Cedar Grove Road SB lane (AM peak only) <br /> • NC 86 (N. Churton Street) SB through/right-turn lane (AM peak hour) - may block turn lane access. <br /> • NC 86 (N. Churton Street) SB left-turn lane (AM peak only)- may exceed available storage. <br /> 41 Existing Conditions and Critical Issues <br />
