77 <br /> To estimate traffic conditions with the site built-out, the total site trips were added to the existing <br /> traffic volumes along Highway 86 to determine the build traffic volumes. Refer to the attachments <br /> for an illustration of the build peak hour traffic volumes with the proposed site fully developed. <br /> Based on the NCDOT turn lane warrant methodology,turn lanes were not warranted for either of <br /> the proposed driveways along Highway 86. Refer to the attachments for the Turn Lane Warrant <br /> Charts for the proposed driveways. <br /> Analysis <br /> Capacity analysis of the proposed driveways was completed according to NCDOT Congestion <br /> Management Guidelines. Build traffic is comprised of the existing traffic from the count data and <br /> the proposed site trips. <br /> The proposed northernmost unsignalized intersection of Highway 86 and Site Drive 1 was <br /> analyzed under build traffic conditions with the lane configurations and traffic control shown in <br /> Table 2.Refer to the attachments for the Synchro capacity analysis and SimTraffic queueing reports. <br /> Table 2: Analysis Summary of Highway 86 and Site Drive 1 <br /> A WEEKDAY AM WEEKDAY PM <br /> P PEAK HOUR PEAK HOUR <br /> P LEVEL OF SERVICE LEVEL OF SERVICE <br /> Analysis R LANE <br /> Scenario O CONFIGURATIONS <br /> A Approach Overall Approach Overall <br /> C (seconds) (seconds) <br /> H <br /> WB 1 LT-RT B2 C2 <br /> Build NB 1 TH-RT -- N/A -- N/A <br /> SB 1 LT-RT Al Al <br /> Improvements shown in bold. <br /> 1. Level of service for major-street left-turn movement. <br /> 2. Level of service for minor-street approach. <br /> Capacity analysis of build conditions indicates that the major-street left-turn movement and the <br /> minor-street approach at the proposed intersection of Highway 86 and Site Drive 1 are expected to <br /> operate at LOS C or better during the weekday AM and PM peak hours.SimTraffic reports indicate <br /> the maximum queues for the westbound approach are not expected to exceed 46 feet during either <br /> peak hour. <br /> 3 <br /> Botton&Menk is an equal opportunity employer. <br />
