  7. Level of Service Criteria – Signalized Intersections (TRB, HCM2000)

  8. Proposed Improvements • Increase lane width Increase lane width on minor St. from 10’ -> 12’ (insignificant) • Right turn channelization Introduce channelized right turns with yield control on minor St. (LOS: E->D) • Additional lanes Provide an additional travel lane to minor street. (LOS: E->D) • Signal Timing Optimization Use Synchro-suggested (62,64) phase than current (80,54) (LOSM: E->F；LOSm: F->D)
