Number of Timing Plans. The consultant shall at a minimum develop five distinct signal timing plans (i.e., for the AM peak, mid-day peak, PM peak, day time off peak patterns and nighttime) for typical weekdays, unless otherwise directed by the signal maintaining agency. In addition to time-of-day plans, separate plans for weekdays, weekends or even specific days (such as Friday in a high weekend travel area) may be warranted based on variation in travel patterns and volumes. The consultant shall also determine the hours in which each timing plan is to be operated.
Number of Timing Plans. For all project intersections, the following three (3) timing plans will be developed: weekday AM peak, the weekday PM peak, and a plan that will operate at least during the weekday midday period. For corridors that include school speed zones, both school and non-school versions will normally be required for the weekday AM peak plan and either the weekday midday plan or the weekday PM peak plan. Using a copy of the new weekday midday timing plan as the starting point, the Engineer will also develop a Saturday timing plan. However, the volumes in this timing plan’s Synchro model will the same as the weekday timing plan except for the intersections for which new Saturday TMCs are made. For the Xxxxxxx Road and Little Road corridors, the Engineer will also develop an off-peak/late night timing plan. The Engineer will also develop a recommended time-of-day operating schedule for each corridor.
