Traffic Impact Study Proposed Automotive Service and Retail Center – West Orange, NJ Prospect Avenue (CR 577) and Rooney Circle / Shopping Center Driveway Rooney Circle and the Shopping Center Driveway intersect Prospect Avenue to form a four-leg intersection controlled by a traffic signal. The signal timing directive was obtained from Essex County which indicates that a four-phase 90-second background cycle is utilized (the traffic signal timing directive is included in Appendix B). The northbound approach of Prospect Avenue provides one left turn lane, one dedicated through lane, and one shared through/right turn lane, while the southbound approach provides one shared left turn/through lane, one dedicated through lane, and one right turn lane. The eastbound approach of Rooney Circle provides one left turn lane and one shared through/right turn lane. The westbound approach of the shopping center driveway provides one shared lane for all movements. Right turn on red is only allowed for the eastbound approach of Rooney Circle and the southbound approach of Prospect Avenue. A review of the existing analysis reveals that the intersection operates at overall levels of service “B” or better and all movements operate at levels of service “D” or better during the analyzed peak periods. See Table 3 for the individual movement levels of service and delays. Prospect Avenue (CR 577) and Blueberry Bend Driveway The Blueberry Bend driveway intersects Prospect Avenue to form an unsignalized T-intersection with the westbound approach of the driveway operating under stop control. The northbound approach of Prospect Avenue provides one dedicated through lane and one shared through/right turn lane, while the southbound approach provides one shared left turn/through lane and two dedicated through lanes. The westbound approach of the Blueberry Bend driveway provides one shared lane for all turning movements. A review of the existing analysis reveals that the individual intersection movements operate at levels of service “B” or better during the analyzed peak periods. See Table 3 for the individual movement levels of service and delays. Prospect Avenue (CR 577) and Site Driveway The site driveway intersects Prospect Avenue to form an unsignalized T-intersection with the westbound approach of the site driveway operating under stop control.
