4. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSLS 4.4 TRANSPORTATION AND CIRCULATION movements. The analysis does not indicate that significant delays would be experienced by these turning movements, which will operate at acceptable levels of service. Intersection operation would be unsafe during foggy conditions, and it is recommended that truck traffic be precluded from utilizing this intersection for turning movements during foggy conditions. Intersection of Welty Road and SR 132 The existing traffic volumes indicate that the intersection of Welty Road and SR 132 was operating at acceptable level of service at the time the traffic counts were taken (January 2004), and the intersection is expected to continue to operate at an acceptable levels of service with the proposed project with either of the two proposed haul routes. Neither of the proposed haul routes would place project traffic on Welty Road. In the future without the project,the northbound approach to the intersection is expected to experience LOS F. The poor level of service is .. primarily the result of the difficulty that would be experienced by drivers on northbound Welty attempting to turn left. The future traffic volumes on Welty Road are expected to be minimal, and it is not anticipated that traffic signal warrants will be met. r Intersection of McCracken Road and SR 132 r Existing traffic volumes indicate that the intersection of McCracken Road and SR 132 was operating at acceptable levels of service at the time the traffic counts were taken(January 2004), and the intersection is expected to continue to operate at an acceptable levels of service with the r, proposed project with either alternative haul routes. Neither of the proposed haul routes would place project traffic on McCracken Road. In the future without the project,the northbound and southbound approaches to the intersection are expected to experience LOS F. The poor levels of service are primarily the result of the difficulty that would be experienced by drivers attempting to turn left or proceed across both travel directions of SR 132. The future traffic volumes on McCracken Road are expected to be minimal,and it is not anticipated that traffic signal warrants will be met. Interstate 5/SR 132 Interchange Freeway weaving and ramp analyses indicate that the interchange is expected to operate at acceptable level of service through the year 2025 with the implementation of the project based on the projected traffic volumes. Interstate 5/Interstate 580 Interchange ` Freeway weaving and ramp analyses indicate that the interchange is expected to operate at acceptable levels of service through the year 2025 with the proposed project based on the projected future traffic volumes.
