Adjusted Volume = Unadjusted Volume * Public Transit Reduction Factor

Total Trips = 255 * 0.65 = 166 Trips
Production Trips = 135 * 0.65 = 88 Trips

9-Check of Warrants for Unsignalized Intersections
9-1-Check of Intersection 1:
9-1-1- Warrant 3:
Condition A (1): Total Stopped Time Delay of Minor WB = 753.1*25 + 255.2*19 + 11*43 =
24149.3 sec = 6.7 Hour < 5 hr
Condition A (2): Volume on the Same Minor St Approach = 87 vph > 150 vph

So, Condition A Is Not Met

Condition B:

Total Major = 2067 vph

High Minor = 87 vph > 150 vph So, Condition B Is Not Met

Warrant 3 Is Not Met

9-1-2- Warrant 4:

Total Major = 2067 vph

Total Pedestrians Crossing Major = 68 ped/hr > 133 ped/hr

Warrant 4 Is Not Met

9-1-3- Warrant 6:
Installing A Traffic Signal Will Provide Progressive Operation Between Intersection 1
and Intersection 4
D1-4 = 492 m < 300 m (1000 ft)

Warrant 6 Is Met
9-2- Check of Intersection 2:
9-2-1- Warrant 3:
Condition A (1): Total Stopped Time Delay of Minor EB = 807.5*19 + 748.7*11 + 105.9*68 =
30779.4 = 8.5 Hour < 5 hr

Condition A (2): Volume on the Same Minor St Approach = 98 vph > 150 vph

So, Condition A Is Not Met

Condition B:

Total Major = 2235 vph

High Minor = 98 vph > 150 vph So, Condition B Is Not Met

Warrant 3 Is Not Met

9-2-2- Warrant 4:
Total Major = 2235 vph
Total Pedestrians Crossing Major = 103 ped/hr > 133 ped/hr

Warrant 4 Is Not Met

9-2-3- Warrant 6:
Installing A Traffic Signal Will Provide Progressive Operation Between
Intersection 2 and Intersection 3
D2-3 = 328 m < 300 m (1000 ft)

Warrant 6 Is Met

 11-Recommendations & Suggestions

• Implementation of Optimized Signal Timing plan of 4

Intersections to reduce Delay and improve Mobility for Entire
Network
• Provide one More Entrance & Exit For the project Between
Intersections 2&3 or Between Intersections 1&4 to reduce
Traffic volumes on Intersections 1&2, and to Improve the
Accessibility of the Project
• Provide Sufficient Acceleration and Deceleration Lanes for The
Entrance & Exit of the Project
• Provide traffic Signs and pavement Markings for all
intersections and Roads to ensure Traffic Safety for entire
Network
• Provide adequate Number of Parking Spaces for the Project to
cover the Parking Demand
