The results shown in Table 1 indicate that an average of 1,900 vehicles per day travel on the segment of MacArthur Drive just south of Linne Road. Average daily traffic decreases to 1,100 vehicles on the segment of MacArthur Drive south of the aggregate equipment crossing. The increased volume of traffic near Linne Road is directly attributable to traffic entering and ' exiting the Teichert Plant approximately 500 feet north of the aggregate equipment crossing. The majority of traffic on MacArthur Drive south of the crossing appears to be travelling to/from the nearby material recovery facility. The traffic counts also classified the vehicles by the number of axles. Using this information, it was determined that trucks constitute 68 percent of traffic on MacArthur Drive near Linne Road and 49 percent of traffic on MacArthur Drive south of the crossing. Traffic accident data on MacArthur Drive was obtained from the San Joaquin County Public Works Department. The results are shown in Table 2 and indicate that one accident occurred in 1995 on MacArthur Drive between Linne Road and the railroad tracks. No accidents related to the flagging operation have been reported during the past year (i.e., the time this traffic control plan has been in place).

Source: San Joaquin County Public Works Department Project Description Teichert Aggregates is proposing to relocate the existing aggregate equipment crossing approximately 900 feet further south on MacArthur Drive. No changes in production levels are proposed with this project. Teichert Aggregates has prepared a Traffic Control Plan (TCP) to maintain the safe crossing of aggregate equipment across MacArthur Drive. The TCP is similar to the program currently in place including use of a flagman stationed at the crossing during all hours the crossing is in use. Aggregate equipment will be stopped prior to crossing if vehicles are approaching the 4
