The haul route is presented <br /> in Figure 1. <br /> This memorandum presents the analysis, conclusions and recommendations related to the <br /> evaluation of the third haul route. The intersection of Welty Road and State Route 33 was not — <br /> included in the previous analysis and is included herein. The existing lane configurations at <br /> Welty Road and State Route 33 are presented in Figure 2. <br /> PROJECT TRAFFIC <br /> Table 1 presents daily and peak-hour project traffic volumes expected during peak summer <br /> months. <br /> Table 1 <br /> Project Trip Generation <br /> Daily Trips Daily Trips Total Peak Hour Peak Hour Total Peak <br /> Entering Exiting Daily Trips Trips Hour Trips <br /> Tris EnteringExitin <br /> 981 981 1,962 153 153 307 <br /> The anticipated project traffic volumes and distribution are shown in Figures 3 and 4. <br /> TRAFFIC ANALYSIS <br /> Existing traffic counts were taken at several local intersections surrounding the project area <br /> and were included in the previous study described above. Future traffic volumes within the <br /> study area were obtained from the San Joaquin County Council of Governments (SJCCOG) — <br /> travel demand model. These counts and projections were again utilized for these analyses. <br /> LEVELS OF SERVICE — <br /> Intersection level of service is a measure of the average delay experienced by vehicles at a <br /> particular intersection. Level of service characteristics for both unsignalized and signalized _ <br /> intersections are defined in the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual published by the <br /> Transportation Research Board and are presented in Tables 2 and 3. <br /> Table 2 — <br /> Level of Service Characteristics for Unsienalized Intersections <br /> Level of Service Description Average Vehicle Delay <br /> seconds <br /> A Little or no delay. 0-10 <br /> B Short traffic delays. >10-15 <br /> C Average traffic delays. >15-25 <br /> D Long traffic delays, >25-35 <br /> E Very long traffic delays. >35-50 <br /> F Stop-and-go conditions. >50 <br />
