Zayibeth Y. Carballo Director/Municipal Engineer - October 25, 2024 Count Classification:  Motorcycles  Cars & Light Goods  Buses  Single Unit Trucks  Articulated Trucks  Pedestrians & Bicycles in the crosswalk d. All Way Stop Warrant Analysis – As noted on pages 78 – 79 of 1161 of the 2023 MUTCD, the following warrants will be evaluated: • Warrant A: Crash Experience – It is assumed that GPI will review the crash summary information for Years 2021, 2022, and 2023 collected through NJDOT’s Safety Voyager database, as well as the individual crash records collected from the West Orange Police Department. Crash diagrams will not be prepared as they are not required for the Warrant Analysis. • Warrant B: Sight Distance – We will obtain sight distance calculations for each approach. Actual field conditions will be taken into account as on-street parking may obstruct sight distances. GPI will then apply this information to this warrant analysis. • Warrant C: Transition to Signal Control or Transition to Yield Control at a Circular Intersection – It is assumed that this warrant is not applicable since there are currently no arrangements being made for the installation of a traffic control signal, and this intersection is not circular in nature. • Warrant D: 8-Hour Volume (Vehicles, Pedestrians, Bicycles) – The traffic data as summarized in Task II.c. (above) will be utilized to perform this warrant. Charts and/or tables will be prepared as required. • Warrant E: Other Factors – Engineering judgement will be utilized to determine if any other conditions may exist to warrant the need for All-Way STOP traffic control at these intersections. e. Levels of Service (LOS) Analyses – LOS analyses will be performed for the weekday peak traffic hours (AM and PM peak traffic periods) for the three (3) intersections based on policies and guidance as contained in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 7th Edition. Results of the analyses will be presented in tabular form. f. Technical Memorandum – A draft Technical Memorandum (Report of Findings) will first be prepared and presented to the Township that summarizes the work associated with this study. Recommendations for next steps will be included, if and as applicable. A final Technical Memorandum incorporating any comments received from the Township will then be prepared and submitted. g.
