MINIMIZING DELAY WHILE MAXIMIZING SAFETY Sample Clauses

MINIMIZING DELAY WHILE MAXIMIZING SAFETY. The project involves constructing two 12’ lanes in each direction, with 4’ inside and 12’ outside shoulder widths. The project also involves implementing access management along the study corridor by eliminating left turns from side streets, driveways, and access roads and consolidating them with J-turns at specific locations. The average daily traffic on MD 404 is about 18,000 vehicles per day (vpd), including 16 percent heavy vehicles. The light traffic (Classes 1 to 3) includes 14 percent light truck traffic. During the summer, the daily traffic volumes on MD 404 increase to 23,000 vpd, reflecting the influence of recreational travel to and from beach areas. According to Highway Capacity Manual (HCM 2010), a two-lane, high speed roadway operates at LOS D or better for the daily traffic threshold between 16,500 vpd to 31,199 vpd and 10 percent truck traffic. This threshold includes up to 10 access points per mile. Although the daily traffic volume on MD 404 is within the HCM threshold for this type of facility, the heavy vehicle volumes are significantly higher and contribute to traffic congestion. In addition, delay occurs along the corridor due to the two-lane section, as vehicles platoon behind slower moving vehicles, heavy vehicles, and farm equipment, where they must wait for a passing section and an opportunity to pass when there is no oncoming traffic in range. Vehicles entering and exiting the highway intermittently with several driveways and side streets along the corridor also is another major cause for platooning and reduced operations along the arterial. For a four-lane rural highway, the daily service volume threshold is between 63,100 to 73,800 vpd, which means that in the build condition, the capacity of a four-lane highway is two to three times higher than the daily traffic volume traveling on MD 404. It is expected that the widening of MD 404 from a two- to a four-lane highway will alleviate traffic congestion on MD 404 for build out year and for traffic conditions well into the future. Corridor crash data for the past 10 years (2005-2014) was evaluated. Historical crash data reveals that the corridor had several crashes involving fatalities along the corridor. The safety benefits of this project in the build condition are immense. A total of 402 crashes occurred along this segment during a ten-year period from 2005 to 2014, which averages to about 40 crashes per year. Twelve of those crashes involved fatalities.
