57 <br /> 6.1 US 70 Alt. at Lawrence Road <br /> Analyses indicate that the unsignalized intersection of US 70 Alt. at Lawrence Road <br /> operates at LOS F in the AM peak hour and LOS D in the PM peak hour in the existing <br /> (2022) traffic conditions. The intersection is currently an all-way stop with a crash history. <br /> The intersection is projected to operate at LOS F in the AM peak hour and LOS E in the <br /> PM peak hour in the projected (2025) background traffic conditions. <br /> Upon build-out of the proposed development, the intersection is expected to operate at <br /> LOS F in both peak hours. The following improvements are recommended to build-out of <br /> the development: <br /> • Consider signalization <br /> With these improvements in place, the intersection is expected to operate with <br /> acceptable LOS in both peak hours. <br /> Table 6.1 summarizes the operation of the intersection of US 70 Alt. at Lawrence Road <br /> for the existing (2022) traffic condition, and the projected (2025) background, build-out, <br /> and build-out improved traffic conditions. <br /> Table 6.1 <br /> US 70 Alt. at Lawrence Road (Unsignalized/Signalized) <br /> Condition AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour <br /> LOS (Delay) LOS (Delay) <br /> Overall - F (50.8) Overall - D (31.1) <br /> EB - F (55.9) EB - E (37.6) <br /> Existing (2022) Traffic WB - D (35.0) WB -C (15.8) <br /> NB - E (42.8) NB - E (38.0) <br /> SB - F (63.8) SB - C (15.7) <br /> Overall - F (67.6) Overall - E (42.8) <br /> EB - F (72.0) EB - F (53.8) <br /> Background (2025) Traffic WB - E (42.7) WB -C (17.7) <br /> NB - F (54.3) NB - F (53.7) <br /> SB - F (92.1) SB - C (17.6) <br /> Overall - F (84.0) Overall - F (70.2) <br /> EB - F (95.2) EB - F (84.2) <br /> Build-out (2025) Traffic WB - E (47.2) WB -C (21.3) <br /> NB - F (70.1) NB - F (99.0) <br /> SB - F (109.9) SB - C (21.9) <br /> Overall - B (18.3) Overall - C (23.1) <br /> EB - B (18.5) EB - C (26.4) <br /> Build-out (2025) Traffic- Improved WB - B (17.9) WB - B (13.8) <br /> NB - C (24.4) NB - C (29.4) <br /> SB - B (13.4) SB - B (11.0) <br />
