Traffic Impact Study Proposed Popeye’s & Fast Food Restaurant – West Orange Existing Capacity Analysis The methodology utilized in the capacity analyses is based on the Highway Capacity Manual 2010, published by the Transportation Research Board. In general, the term Level of Service (LOS) is used to provide a “qualitative” evaluation of capacity based upon certain “quantitative” calculations related to empirical values, such as traffic volume and intersection control. When analyzing an unsignalized intersection, it is assumed that both the major street through and right turn movements are unimpeded and have the right-of-way over all side street traffic and left turns from the major street. All other turning movements in the intersection cross, merge with, or are otherwise impeded by major street movements. Traffic delays at unsignalized intersections are determined by sequentially processing these impeded movements. Table II describes the Level of Service ranges for unsignalized (stop controlled) intersections. Table II Level of Service Criteria for Unsignalized Intersections Level of Average Control Delay Service (seconds per vehicle) A 0.0 to 10.0 B 10.1 to 15.0 C 15.1 to 25.0 D 25.1 to 35.0 E 35.1 to 50.0 F greater than 50.0 It should be noted that the analyses within the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual assume a random arrival for all the movements, which may not be the case if an adjacent traffic signal is present that platoons vehicles. All capacity analyses were performed utilizing the Highway Capacity Software (HCS 7). Table III summarizes the existing Levels of Service (LOS) and delays.
