project also includes the proposed signalization of the intersection of Eagle Rock Avenue (CR 611) and Oval Road. As part of the signalization improvements, the existing exit-only Crestmont Country Club driveway along Eagle Rock Avenue will be relocated and realigned to intersect Eagle Rock Avenue directly opposite Oval Road, forming the southern leg of the new signalized intersection. The realigned driveway will continue to operate as an egress-only facility under traffic signal control. The resulting 2027 Build peak hour traffic volumes are illustrated in Figure 2. TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARRANT ANALYSIS We performed a traffic signal warrant analysis using 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. We evaluated the Build traffic volumes to determine if they meet any of the traffic volume based warrants. We used the 12 hours of data collected in the turning movement counts for the intersection of Eagle Rock Avenue (CR 611) with Oval Road and the Crestmont Country Club driveway to generate the warrant volumes. We used the same methodology described in the Estimate of Future Conditions section above, to derive the weekday hourly 2027 Build traffic volumes. Appendix B 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) Based on the analysis results, the intersection of Eagle Rock Avenue (CR 611) with Oval Road and the Crestmont Country Club driveway would satisfy all three MUTCD traffic signal warrants under the 2027 Build condition. In the absence of signal control, the intersection would be expected to operate with substantial delays and queueing on the minor approaches, particularly along Oval Road, which provides primary access to nearby residential neighborhoods.
