Transportation Impact Study for Hidden Canyon Residences & Preserve <br />March 2023 Page | 24 <br />3.7 EXISTING PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC VOLUMES AND LANE CONFIGURATIONS <br />The existing operations of the study intersections were evaluated for the highest one-hour volumes <br />during weekday morning and evening peak periods. Recent turning movement counts for vehicles, <br />bicycles, and pedestrians were conducted during the weekday a.m. peak period (7:00-9:00 a.m.) and p.m. <br />peak period (4:00-6:00 p.m.) at the study intersections on typical weekdays during spring 2019 when local <br />schools were in session. <br />Figures 7 illustrates the existing lane geometry and traffic controls at each of the study intersections. <br />Figure 8 illustrates the existing a.m. and p.m. peak hour vehicle turning movement volumes at the study <br />intersections. Appendix B includes all data sheets and count dates for the collected vehicle, bicycle, and <br />pedestrian counts. <br />3.8 INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS – EXISTING CONDITIONS <br />The existing operations of the study intersections were evaluated for the highest one-hour volume during <br />the weekday morning and evening peak periods. The a.m. and p.m. peak hour turning movement counts <br />were conducted on typical weekdays during the spring of 2019 when local schools were in session. The <br />a.m. and p.m. peak periods observed were between 7:00-10:00 a.m. and 4:00-7:00 p.m. Turning movement <br />count sheets are in Appendix B. <br />Existing intersection lane configurations and peak-hour turning movement volumes were used to <br />calculate the LOS at the study intersections during peak hours. Figure 7 illustrates the existing lane <br />geometry, traffic controls, and turning movement volumes at the study intersections. Existing Conditions <br />intersection LOS worksheets are provided in Appendix C. The results of the LOS analysis for Existing <br />Conditions are summarized in Table 4. <br />All of the study intersections are operating acceptably at LOS D or better during both the a.m. and p.m. <br />peak hours. During the a.m. peak hour the stop-sign controlled intersection of Schaefer Ranch Road & <br />Dublin Canyon Road experiences delay consistent with LOS E on the stop-sign controlled approach <br />(southbound Schaefer Ranch Road approaching Dublin Canyon Road) but overall average delay for the <br />intersection is consistent with LOS A. <br />At the unsignalized study intersections: side-street approach volumes exceed the peak-hour signal <br />warrant at the intersection of Dublin Canyon Road with Schaefer Ranch Road. <br />
