Source: Omni-Means, Ltd. The potential need for separate left-turn lanes (due to the possible queuing of vehicles behind the trucks attempting to make left-turns)also was examined. Given the proposed haul route,the trucks would make left-turns from the southbound approach at Peltier/Ray and the eastbound approach at Peltier/Davis. Using warrants for left-turn lanes at intersections (Midwest Research Institute for Federal Highway Administration, 1975)the peak hour existing-plus-trucktrip volumes would be well below required levels to warrant separate left-turn lanes at either approach. Therefore,vehicle queuing behind the trucks would be minimal and not create a significant impact. The ability of trucks to negotiate the proposed haul route was also examined. Impact 4.2-2 The narrowness and small curve radius on Davis Road at some locations north of Peltier Road could prevent large trucks from making the required turning movements along the haul route. Davis Road north of Peltier Road is not a through road and eventually terminates slightly less than one mile north of Peltier Road. As it extends north, Davis Road is increasingly less well maintained and there are two narrow right-angle turning corners in the road. Heading north on Davis Road, the first corner turns due west approximately 2,500 feet north of Peltier Road and the second corner turns due 4.2-17
