Frewert Traffic Impact Study delay to already failing intersection delay. Peak hour signal warrants were evaluated for the intersections based on the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices(CA MUTCD), Revision 4 (2079) guidelines for traffic signal warrant 3,which evaluates traffic signal installation for peak hour traffic.At the intersection of Roth Road/S. Harlan Road (Intersection 41) the peak hour signal warrant is met under background traffic conditions, during the p.m. peak hour,without and with the proposed project traffic.At the intersection of Roth Road/i-5 Southbound Ramps (Intersection#3) the peak hour signal warrant is not met under background traffic conditions, during either peak hour, without and with the proposed project traffic. However,the San Joaquin Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS), adopted June 2018, proposes improvements to the Roth Road interchange, including signalization and relocation of intersections along Roth Road. At the intersection of Roth Road/S. Harlan Road (Intersection#1),the addition of an exclusive westbound left-turn lane, and installation of signal control, improve intersection operations to acceptable LOS C during both peak hours.With mitigations,the impacts of the proposed project would be less than significant. However,this project is in the City of Lathrop, who has plans to improve this intersection differently. In effect, the main intersection will be relocated about 600 feet to the east and signalized. The current intersection will essentially operate with turns to and from Harlan Road restricted to right turns only. For the purposes of this report, the Harlan Road intersection has been evaluated in its current location and traffic situation. At the intersection of Roth Road/1-5 Southbound Ramps(Intersection#3),the installation of all-way stop control improves intersection operations to acceptable LOS C or better during both peak hours. The CA MUTCD supports the installation of all-way stop control as an interim measure before installation of signal control.With mitigations,the impacts of the proposed project would be less than significant.The above- mentioned intersection signalizations are included in the list of planned improvements by the County's RTP/SCS and Congestion Management Program (CMP). Appendix E contains the peak hour signal warrant worksheets and detailed LOS analysis worksheets for Background plus Project Conditions Mitigations. 5.5 ROADWAY SEGMENT LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS— BACKGROUND PLUS PROJECT CONDITIONS Table 8 below summarizes the study roadway segment operations under Background plus Project conditions and includes facility type; maximum daily volumes, no,of lanes, daily volumes and LOS information for each study roadway segment. Under Background plus project Conditions,the study segment is expected to continue to operate at LOS C. Based on the San Joaquin County impact criteria, the proposed project will have a less-than-significant impact on the study roadway segments under Background plus Project Conditions, Page 125 TJKM
