The <br /> assessment focuses on determining whether the transportation system has sufficient capacity to <br /> serve expected traffic. This traffic study focuses on the operation of intersections considered <br /> most likely to be adversely affected by the proposed project. Cumulative impacts,which would <br /> be those resulting from the combined effects of existing conditions, approved projects,the <br /> proposed project, and other likely future projects, also are addressed. <br /> Standards of Significance <br /> This section describes the thresholds of significance applied in this traffic study. The object of <br /> Fthe thresholds is to clearly identify the significance of project-related impacts, distinguishing <br /> i project-related impacts from the effects of background traffic conditions. In general, San <br /> Joaquin County policy identifies a significant traffic impact at an intersection when the traffic <br /> a F* <br /> F <br />
