 Coordinate the signal timings with the proposed signal at the intersection of Eagle Rock Avenue (CR 611) and Oval Road / Crestmont Country Club Driveway  Increase the maximum cycle length to 90 seconds during both the AM and PM peak hours. With the above recommendations implemented, the signalized intersection is expected to operate at an overall LOS B during the weekday morning peak hour and LOS C during the weekday evening peak hour. Eagle Rock Avenue (CR 611) and Oval Road / Crestmont Country Club Driveway The movements at this stop-controlled intersection are expected to operate at LOS C or better during both the weekday morning and evening peak hours under the No-Build condition. As part of the proposed development, the existing Crestmont Country Club Driveway will be realigned to intersect Eagle Rock Avenue (CR 611) directly across from Oval Road. The re-aligned driveway will permit entering and exiting traffic to the Country Club. In addition, it is proposed to signalize the intersection and coordinate it with the adjacent intersection of Eagle Rock Avenue (CR 611) and Laurel Avenue (CR 634). We performed a traffic signal warrant analysis fusing the 2023 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards. There are nine warrants described in the MUTCD. We only evaluated the traffic volume based warrants. The installation of a traffic signal should only be considered if one or more of the signal warrants are met. Appendix E contains the warrant summary reports and volume information. The traffic volume based warrant analysis results are as follows: • Warrant 1 (Eight-Hour Vehicular Volume) o Build Condition A or B - Met: 11 hours met (8 required) o Build Condition A and B– Met: 12 hours met (8 required) • Warrant 2 (Four-Hour Vehicular Volume) o Build – Met: 11 hours met (4 required) • Warrant 3 (Peak Hour) o Build – Met: 5 hour met (1 required) In addition, the following geometric changes would be constructed in association with the proposed signalization:  Widen the eastbound Eagle Rock Avenue (CR 611) approach to provide a left turn lane, a through lane and a through/ right turn lane. 12
