Traffic Report

Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways (MUTCD) published by the Federal Highway Administration. Warrant 3, Peak Hour (70% Factor) was selected due to field observations indicating that the travel speed on Eagle Rock Avenue is greater than the posted 40 miles per hour speed. The no build AM and PM peak hour approach volumes for the intersection are as follows: Intersection of Eagle Rock Avenue and Oval Road No-Build Approach Volumes No-Build Approach Volumes Peak Hour Eagle Rock Avenue Oval Road EB WB Total SB AM 501 929 1,430 148 PM 855 514 1,369 115 Figure 4C-4 of the MUTCD, Warrant 3, Peak Hour (70% Factor) (A copy of which is included in the Appendix of this report), indicates that for a total peak hour approach volume on the major street of 1,300 vehicles the peak hour approach volume on the minor street must exceed 100 vehicles for an intersection with all two lane approaches. Both no-build AM and PM peak hour volumes satisfy this criteria. Eagle Rock Avenue Traffic Flow Model The Signalized intersections of Eagle Rock Avenue and Laurel Avenue and Eagle Rock Avenue and Oval Road were analyzed as a system using the Highway Capacity Software (HCS 7) traffic capacity model for street segments and intersections developed by the McTrans Center at the University of Florida. For the scenarios in which the intersection of Eagle Rock Avenue and Oval Road is unsignalized in the existing and no-build conditions, the intersection of Eagle Rock Avenue and Laurel Avenue is analyzed as an isolated signalized intersection. The results of the capacity analyses of the weekday AM and PM peak hours for all study area intersections are as follows: 14
