Hopyard Road at Stoneridge Drive <br />Mitigation - Restripe intersection and upgrade signal to provide three northbound left turn lanes. <br />Double left turn lanes are recommended when left turn traffic volumes reach 300 vehicles per hour. The <br />northbound left turn volume at this intersection is forecast to reach about 550 vehicles per hour. The <br />northbound left turn volume represents about 30% of all northbound traffic. Designating one of the <br />three northbound lanes as a left turn only lane, better distributes northbound traffic over the available <br />lanes. Restriping and reconfiguring the traffic signal to convert the #1 northbound lane on Hopyard <br />Road into a left tuin lane, lane significantly reduces left turn delay and queuing (down to LOS E), while <br />providing LOS C for northbound through traffic. <br /> <br />Hopyard Road at Valley Trails Drive / Parkside Drive <br />Mitigation - Minor traffic signal upgrade and striping change option <br />A coding error may have resulted in the traffic forecast being too high for northbound left turns at this <br />intersection. But if this volume does develop, restriping the northbound #1 through lane as a second <br />northbound left turn lane would solve the congestion problem that would result. With only two <br />northbound lanes south of Valley Avenue, and only two eastbound left turn lanes from Valley Avenue to <br />Hopyard Road, only two northbound through lanes are needed at Parkside Drive. However, staff <br />believes that northbound left turns into the Valley Trails area will distribute themselves between the <br />North and South Valley Trails entries, and a double northbound left turn will probably not be necessary. <br /> <br />Hopyard Road at West Las Positas Boulevard <br />Mitigation - Restripe intersection and upgrade signal to provide three westbound and northbound left <br />turn lanes <br />Double left turn lanes are recommended when left turn traffic volumes reach 300 vehicles per hour. The <br />westbound left turn volume at this intersection is forecast to reach about 700 vehicles per hour. <br />Restriping and reconfiguring the traffic signal to convert the #1 westbound lane on West Las Positas <br />Boulevard into a left turn lane, lane significantly reduces left turn delay and queuing (down to LOS E), <br />while providing LOS D for westbound through traffic. <br /> <br />If the West Las Positas Interchange is constructed, northbound left turn volumes will increase from <br />Hopyard Road to West Las Positas Boulevard. Converting the #1 northbound through lane into a third <br />left turn lane would significantly reduce delay and queuing at the intersection under those <br />circumstances. <br /> <br />Johnson Drive at Providian Way <br />Mitigation - Minor traffic signal upgrade to remove split phasing and left turn arrows. <br />Due to the relatively low traffic volumes and good visibility, stops and delay can be reduced at this <br />intersection by removing the left turn arrows on Johnson Drive and allowing east and westbound <br />Providian Way traffic to move concurrently. <br /> <br />Main Street at Ray Street <br />Mitigation - Minor traffic signal upgrade to add protected/permissive southbound left turn arrows. <br />This intersection is in the Downtown area and is exempt from the City's LOS D standard. However, <br />installing protected/permissive southbound left turn arrows would significantly reduce delay and <br />southbound queuing at peak hours. It is also hoped that the proposed double southbound left turn from <br /> <br /> <br />
