volum es. It should be noted that generally a level of service worse than D will not be achieved unless the
v/c ratio exceeds 1.00. For this reason, based on the v/c ratio criteria, the project list for the LOS D and
LOS E standard are the sam e. The project list for the second-highest-hour standard includes fewer
projects since the intersection volum es are lower.

(1) Simulation show s that the permitted left-turn phas e on the w estbound approach is not adequately served causing
extended queues that block upstream intersections. It is assumed that an exclusive left-turn lane w ould be
provided on this approach under a ll LOS standards considered.
(2) The v/c ratios at these intersections are less than 1.00 but exceed the Or egon Highw ay Plan’s v/c-based
standard and w ould require mitigation by ODOT .
