50 <br /> US 70 Multimodal Corridor Study <br /> Due to their proximity to at-grade rail crossings, several signals in Mebane (Moore Street, 3rd Street, 4t" Street, <br /> and 5t" Street) require interconnection with the rail crossing signals and crossing gates to preempt normal <br /> traffic signal operation in the presence of a train. This preemption prevents conflicting signal combinations <br /> between the relevant traffic control devices. LOS is not calculated for preemptive operation, but such <br /> conditions obviously add delay and can create long vehicle queues. <br /> Table 10 2022 Intersections AM and PM Peak Hour LOS Summary <br /> ID Intersection and A roach Traffic Existing(2022) Traffic Existing(2022) <br /> pp Control AM FM ID Intersection and Approach <br /> Control At'l I F1'l <br /> 3`d St&US 70-(Center St) B-16.2 B-10.6 Orange High School Rd&US 70 B-16.3 C-21.2 <br /> ....................................................... <br /> Eastbound B-1;.'1 l-1'1.4 Eastbound A-9.3 A-6.1 <br /> 5 ed <br /> ign <br /> 1 Westbound Signalized B-13.4 A-4.4 Westbound C-21.1 C-26.6 <br /> ................................................. ......................................................... ...................................................... <br /> Northbound B-'14.7 B-15.7 Southbound C-21.8 C-29.1 <br /> ......................................................... <br /> 5outhbou d C-22.7 C-26.7 St.'_1+IargsRd&US70 C-22.9 C-26.8 <br /> ......................-................................................................................................................. <br /> 4 St&LIS 70(Center St] A-6.7 B-11.9 Eastbound C-20.3 B-10.4 <br /> ...........................................:...........................:..............:.........:.......................................... ......................................................... ......................................................................................................................................... ...................................................... <br /> Eastbound A-6.4 B-14.2 9 Westbound Signalized B-15.0 C-?5.6 <br /> Signalized .................... - <br /> ...................................................... <br /> Westbound }-5.7 A-9.3 Northbound C-30..''

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 /> 41 Existing Conditions and Critical Issues <br />
