Existing Intersection Operations Existing Operations Intersections Operate at Acceptable Standards All signalized intersections have overall LOS D or better All Intersections have mainline non-turning movements at LOS D or better Unsignalized 12 th and Army Navy SB approach unacceptable LOS in both peak hours and experiences some delay 15
Future Intersection Operations Future Operations Intersections Continue to Operate at Acceptable Levels All signalized intersections have overall LOS D or better All Intersections have mainline non-turning movements at LOS D or better Overall Intersection Operations consistent or improved from Background Conditions 16
Peak Hour Site Traffic Change Average (AM/PM) Peak Hour Site Traffic Change Trip Distribution Discussed with County and VDOT during scoping process Based on: Existing Traffic Patterns Census Data Other Area Studies Site Trips Distributed overall multiple Routes Minimal Increases in Total Traffic on Adjacent Roads 0.91% - 4.70% 96 Trips Site Roadway Trips (2.14%) % Increase in Road Volume 17
Trip Distribution and Approach Routes Trip Distribution and Approach Routes Approach Routes Well Distributed on Adjacent Road Network Access Opportunities from all sides of Development I-395, I-395 (HOV), VA 244 (Columbia Pike), VA 27 (Washington Boulevard), VA 110 all approach the site from the north Route 1 and localized traffic approach site from the south 18
