Transportation System Plan 2018-2038

2023 PM Peak Hour Results – Dow ntown Medford As shown in Table G-3 below, all downtown intersec tions are projected to operate at LOS D or better with 2023 PM peak hour traffic volum es and existing geom etrics, with the exception of the intersection of 4th Street at Riverside Avenue which is expected to operate at LOS F. Currently a very short right-turn lane exists on the Riverside Avenue approach to 4th Street because of the way the right-turn m ovem ent is channelized (a free right-turn lane onto 4th Street). Because the right-turn “lane” is so short, for purposes of this analy sis the outside lane was assum ed to be a shared through and right-turn lane. Although the right-turn from Riverside Avenue onto 4th Street is a free movem ent (there is a dedicated receiving lane on 4th Street to the east of the intersection), right-turn vehicles cannot progress onto 4th Street if m ore than two or three through vehicles are queued in the outside lane.
