100 <br /> AREA TYPE <br /> RURAL represents an area outside a municipality or Extraterritorial <br /> Jurisdiction (ETJ). <br /> SUBURBAN represents an area within a municipality or ETJ that is <br /> not within a Central Business District (CBD) or areas immediately <br /> surrounding a CBD. <br /> URBAN represents an area that is within a CBD or areas immediately <br /> surrounding a CBD. <br /> LEVEL OF SERVICE D VALUES <br /> MINIMUM CAPACITY VALUES represents conditions/inputs that <br /> result in a worst-case Level of Service D for a given facility. This <br /> lower value represents worst-case conditions in available data for a <br /> given region (Higher K/D Factors, Lower Peak Hour Factor, poor road <br /> conditions, etc.). <br /> STANDARD CAPACITY VALUES represents an average Level of <br /> Service D for a given facility. This default value is an average of <br /> available data for a given region. <br /> MAXIMUM CAPACITY VALUES represents conditions/inputs that <br /> result in a best-case Level of Service D for a given facility. This higher <br /> value represents best-case conditions in available data for a given <br /> region (Lower K/D Factors, Higher Peak Hour Factor, etc.). <br /> These assumptions may not pertain to all systems level planning <br /> work; therefore, separate analysis may need to be conducted on a <br /> case-by-case basis. <br /> These standards are not intended for project specific or corridor <br /> analysis. Separate analysis would be required for these types of <br /> projects. <br /> Volumes shown represent the point at which traffic transitions from <br /> LOS D to LOS E. <br /> 5 Updated 10/14/2011 <br />
