*M.. <br /> Based upon discussions with the applicant and information presented in UE Trip Generation (Fifth <br /> Edition), the project's "Sunday peak-hour of trip generation" is expected to occur between 9:00 A.M. and <br /> 1:00 P.M. For the study intersections, the "Sunday peak hour of traffic" is expected to occur between <br /> 10:00 A.M. and 11:00 A.M. For worst-case analysis, the Sunday peak hour of background traffic and <br /> Sunday peak hour of project trip generation were assumed to occur concurrently between 10:00 A.M. and <br /> 11:00 A.M. The Sunday peak hour intersection traffic was estimated to be approximately 60% of the <br /> i weekday PM peak hour traffic demand, based upon historical data. Figure 3B illustrates the anticipated <br /> Sunday peak-hour intersection turning movement traffic during the project's Sunday peak trip generation <br /> period. <br /> LEVEL OF SERVICE METHODOLOGY <br /> Traffic operations are quantified through the determination of "Level of Service". Level of Service is a <br /> qualitative measure of traffic operating conditions, whereby a letter grade "A" through "F" is assigned to <br /> an intersection or roadway segment representing progressively worsening traffic conditions. Level of <br /> Service definitions for roadways and intersections are outlined in Table 1. The County of San Joaquin <br /> defines peak hour traffic operations that exceed Level of Service "C" as unacceptable. <br /> Levels of Service were calculated for different intersection control types using the methods documented in <br /> the 1994 Highway Capacity Manual. <br /> Trinity Baptist Church Project Page 5 <br /> Traffic Study <br />
