Executive Summary Introduction


Countrywide Home Loans is planning the development of their corporate office buildings in the City of Chandler, north of Frye Road and east of the Price Freeway (State Route 101). The property size is approximately 24.4 gross acres, consisting of three buildings, each approximately 183,000 square feet, to serve approximately 3,429 employees. A complete Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA), including anticipated impacts and mitigation measures for the intersections in the immediate vicinity, is being prepared by Morrison-Maierle.

Results
The proposed development is anticipated to generate the following weekday traffic volumes.
ENTERING DAY AM PEAK HOUR PM PEAK HOUR 3,648 626 98 EXITING 3,648 77 552 TOTAL 7,296 703 650

Recommendations without the Countrywide Development


Only the Benson Lane and Frye Road intersection (#2) is not currently signalized of the seventeen (17) existing intersections evaluated in this study. The traffic warrant analysis indicates that the existing traffic conditions without the proposed site at this intersection does not satisfy warrants for a traffic signal. However, by the ultimate year 2020, traffic conditions without the proposed development will satisfy the warrants for a traffic signal. The required lane configurations to provide acceptable levels-of-service at the adjacent, western and southern intersections without the proposed site for the ultimate year 2020 are provided in Figure 1 through Figure 3, respectively. Only intersection #2 has the PM peak hour level-of-service at an F condition, if the stop sign is not substituted by a traffic signal. Drivers on minor street approaches like northbound Benson Lane are typically delayed and no mitigation is recommended at this time. The traffic volume at this intersection, as well as vehicle delay, should be regularly monitored to appropriately determine if and when a traffic signal would be necessary.

Madison Crossing

Recommendations with the Countrywide Development


The main site access on Frye Road intersection #2 should be monitored to determine if signalization is required. The estimated traffic volumes indicate that traffic signal warrants would be satisfied. The level-of-service analyses also indicate that the intersection would operate with unacceptable delay without a signal and with acceptable delay with a signal. However, the access will serve primarily visitors to the property not employees. Countrywide experiences relatively few visitors to its office. Most importantly, a traffic signal at this intersection would be disruptive for through traffic on Frye Road. Traffic signal warrant analysis was performed on the four (4) additional site accesses. It was determined that none of the intersections had traffic conditions that would satisfy the warrants for traffic signals in the ultimate year 2020 with the proposed development. The required lane configurations to provide acceptable levels-of-service at the adjacent, western and southern intersections are provided for the ultimate year 2020 with the proposed Countrywide development in Figure 4 through Figure 6. The recommended lengths of the full-width turn-lanes are provided on Figure 7 through Figure 9 on the turn lane length diagrams. Parking spaces and parking aisles within the Countrywide development should not be located within the recommended turn-lane lengths.

Surrounding Transportation System


The primary streets that will serve the proposed development are State Route 101 west of the site, Chandler Boulevard to the north, Frye Road to the south, and Ellis Street east of the site.

Existing Traffic Counts


Traffic Research and Analysis counted current traffic volumes on Tuesday 1, Wednesday 2, and Thursday 3, August 2006. Approach and departure traffic counts at the study intersections for daily and hourly intervals were obtained. Turning movement counts in fifteen-minute intervals from 6:00 to 9:00 AM and from 3:00 to 7:00 PM were also obtained for these intersections on Tuesday 1 and Thursday 10, August 2006. The existing traffic volumes are provided in Appendix A to this report. Also included in Appendix A are tables providing the hourly counts by time of day, and graphs plotting the hourly traffic counts. Appendix A.1 through Appendix A.17 contain the approach and departure counts for the study intersections. Also included in these appendices are tables determining the maximum morning and evening hourly volumes and peak hour factors as determined from the approach counts, and graphs plotting the hourly traffic counts. Table 1 provides the peak sixty-minute periods within the three morning and evening hours of the traffic counts.

Future Ambient Traffic


The ambient future traffic volumes were determined using the Chandler Transportation Study (CTS) Final Report accepted by the City Council on 24 May, 2001. Appendix B provides pertinent excerpts from this study. The anticipated 2020 traffic volumes for the study roadways were taken from the CTS 2020 daily traffic forecasts, as directed by City of Chandler officials. For segments not provided in the CTS, growth rates were based on adjacent intersections using one of the following methods:

(1) For intersections with non-shared segments, a percentage increase was assumed based on a similar adjacent intersection whose predicted 2020 volumes are provided in the CTS.

458 172

Madison Crossing

(2) For intersections with shared segments, total volumes were assumed to be the same on the segment shared by the intersection provided in the CTS and the intersection not provided in the CTS. However, directional splits were based on existing directional splits for the intersection whose volume was being estimated. Figure 23 through Figure 31 show the directional daily and the morning and evening turning movement traffic counts for the ultimate conditions without the site in the ambient year 2020.

Signal Warrant Analysis Existing without Site


The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) as published by the United States Department of Transportation is the reference for determining the need for traffic signal installation throughout the United States. This document establishes eight separate, related sets of criteria termed warrants. If none of the eight warrants are satisfied, then a signal should not be installed. If one or more of the warrants are satisfied, then a signal might be appropriate. Appendix C.1 provides the complete traffic signal warrant analyses for the Benson Lane and Frye Road intersection (#2). Table 2 provides the names of the primary signal warrants and Table 3 summarizes the analyses results of the primary warrants. Table 2: Signal Warrant Names

This analysis reveals that the Benson Lane and Frye Road intersection (#2) does not satisfy the warrants for traffic signal installation with the existing traffic conditions.

Signal Warrant Analysis Ambient without Site


The MUTCD process was also utilized to determine if a signal is likely to be warranted at the Benson Lane and Frye Road intersection (#2) in the ultimate year 2020 with the proposed site conditions. The warrants presuppose that a minimum of 16 hours of traffic counts are available. Only the ambient 2020 without site daily and peak hourly traffic volumes can be estimated directly. Only three of the eight MUTCD warrants can utilize estimated traffic volumes to provide an indication of the likely need for a traffic signal at a particular location. Three hourly volumes are necessary to analyze these three warrants the hour with the highest traffic volumes, the hour with the fourth highest volume, and the hour with the eighth highest volume. The peak hourly volume has been estimated from the daily volume as described in the section of this report entitled Existing Traffic Counts. The fourth and eighth highest hourly volumes can be estimated from the peak hourly volume or the daily volume. The percentages of the day and peak hour traffic arriving in the fourth highest and eighth highest hours for intersection #2 are provided in Appendix A.1. For each intersection approach, the fourth highest hourly volume and the eighth highest hourly volume were estimated as the maximum of three calculations utilizing the appropriate percentage of the daily volume, the morning peak hourly volume, and the evening peak hourly volume. Finally, to provide more appropriate results, the right-turn traffic volumes on minor streets or approaches were reduced from the volumes required in the traffic warrant analysis as this movement can typically be accommodated without a traffic signal. Appendix C.2 provides the results of the ambient 2020 plus site signal warrant analysis for intersection #2. The results are summarized in Table 4. Table 4: Ambient without Site Signal Warrant Summary

Warrant Benson Lane and Frye Road (Access 2)

1A NO

Warrants Satisfied? 1B 2 3B - AM NO NO NO

3B - PM YES

Based on these analyses, a traffic signal should be warranted at the intersection of Benson Lane and Frye Road. However, it was noticed in Appendix C.2 that the 3B PM warrant was marginally satisfied (80 estimated vehicles versus 75 required vehicles) and therefore it was decided to evaluate when the other warrants would be satisfied, starting from the existing traffic volume counted for this project and reported in Appendix A.1. Table 5 provides the percent increase of the existing traffic volumes that would generate the satisfaction of the appropriate traffic signal warrant. Based on these variable results, it is recommended that a traffic signal

Madison Crossing

not be installed at this intersection. Regular monitoring of traffic volumes and vehicle delay is necessary to determine if and when a traffic signal should be installed. Table 5: Signal Warrant Satisfaction Threshold at Benson Lane Frye Road Intersection

Level-of-Service Analysis without Site


The ability of a transportation system to transmit the transportation demand is characterized as its level-of-service (LOS). Level-of-service is a rating system from A, representing the best operation, to F, representing the worst operation. Typically, level-of-service D is considered the minimum acceptable operation. The appropriate reference for level-of-service operation is the Highway Capacity Manual, published by the Transportation Research Board. This manual considers the average delay per vehicle as the measure to determine the level-ofservice for both signalized and unsignalized intersections. For signalized intersections the delay and level-of-service are calculated for the intersection, each approach, and each turning movement. For unsignalized intersections the level-of-service is defined for each minor movement for two-way stop controls, and is not defined for the major street approaches or for the intersection as a whole Table 6 lists the level-of-service criteria for both signalized and unsignalized intersections as stated in the Highway Capacity Manual. Table 6: Level-of-Service Criteria for Signalized Intersections

LEVEL-OF-SERVICE

A B C D E F

AVERAGE DELAY (seconds/vehicle) SIGNALIZED UNSIGNALIZED 10 10 > 10 to 20 > 10 to 15 > 20 to 35 > 15 to 25 > 35 to 55 > 25 to 35 > 55 to 80 > 35 to 50 > 80 > 50

Madison Crossing

Synchro software was utilized to calculate the average delay and level-of-service. The input and output for these analyses are provided as Appendix D to this report, and the results are summarized on the following pages. Each of the existing intersections was analyzed for its level-of-service for the existing traffic volume, traffic control, and lane configuration. Appendix D provides the complete results of these analyses. Appendix D.1 provides the results for the existing 2006 traffic volumes and Appendix D.2 provides the results for the ambient 2020 without site traffic volumes. Synchro provides calculated average delay exceeding 120 seconds per vehicle. The equations for these delay calculations are accurate only for delays less than 60 seconds. The equations provide reasonably accurate results for delays between 60 and 120 seconds. Calculated delay greater than 120 seconds are very exaggerated. Therefore, all calculated average delay greater than 120 seconds per vehicle were reduced to 120 seconds per vehicle. This adjustment becomes particularly meaningful when a specific movement is calculated to experience very high delay and thereby greatly exaggerates the corresponding approach delay and intersection delay. Tables of these adjustments are provided for the appropriate intersections in Appendix D.3. Figure 32 through Figure 43 provide the existing and ambient 2020 without site level-ofservice for the study intersections for the morning and evening peak hours, respectively. As stated before, the Benson Lane and Frye Road intersection was not improved and thus it shows that the PM peak hour northbound approach has level-of-service F.

Proposed Site Trip Generation


The estimated trip generation for the proposed Countrywide project was determined through the procedures and data contained within the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation, 7th Edition, published in 2003. This document provides traffic volume data from existing developments throughout North America that can be utilized to estimate vehicle trips that might be generated from proposed developments. The traffic data are provided for 152 different categories. The estimated traffic volume is dependent upon independent variables defined by the characteristics and size of each land use category.

Madison Crossing

There is considerable data for office developments. Seven different land use categories are provided General Office, Corporate Headquarters, Single Tenant, Medical-Dental Office, Office Park, Research & Development, and Business Park. The two most appropriate land use categories for this proposed development are Corporate Headquarters (Code 714) and Single Family Tenant (Code 715). The most readily available and appropriate independent variables for office developments are the building size in 1,000 square feet and the number of employees. Trips can be determined utilizing an average trip generation rate or a regression equation. Appendix E.1 provides the pertinent excerpts from Trip Generation. These excerpts provide graphs for each land use code, each independent variable, and each time period of the data from the various studies. These graphs plot the average rate line and the regression equation line. In each case, the regression equation line is closer to the building size and the number of employees for Countrywide than is the average rate line. Therefore, the regression equation line was utilized for this analysis. Countrywide employees arrive throughout a four-hour period in the morning and depart throughout a four-hour period in the afternoon. Error! Reference source not found. provides the approximate percentage of employee arrivals and departures by hour. Table 7: Employee Arrival and Departure Times

TIME PERIOD 5:00 to 6:00 AM 6:00 to 7:00 AM 7:00 to 8:00 AM 8:00 to 9:00 AM 2:00 to 3:00 PM 3:00 to 4:00 PM 4:00 to 5:00 PM 5:00 to 6:00 PM

PORTION OF EMPLOYEES 10% 15% 40% 35% 10% 15% 40% 35%

To ensure a conservative analysis, the total number of employees was utilized to estimate the daily traffic volume. The number of employees arriving in the highest arrival hour and departure hour was utilized to estimate the peak hourly traffic volume. The estimate for peak hour site traffic volume was based on 40% of the total employees. This will ensure that the site accesses accommodate the peak period arrival and departure volumes. Appendix E.2 provides the complete results of the trip generation calculations. Table 8 provides a summary of the calculations.

Proposed Site Trip Distribution


The final determination related to site traffic is the direction the generated traffic utilizes to enter and exit the site. The site was examined to determine the probable routes for its traffic. Figure 44 and Figure 45 provide the percentage of site traffic entering and exiting the site from the external streets for the daily, morning and evening peak hours. Figure 46 through Figure 54 provide the resulting site directional daily traffic as well as the morning and evening peak hour turning movement volumes. Figure 55 through Figure 63 provide the resulting 2020 ambient with site directional daily traffic as well as the morning and evening peak hour turning movement volumes.

Signal Warrant Analysis with Site


The MUTCD process was also utilized to determine if a signal is likely to be warranted at the four site accesses (two additional accesses on Frye Road and two accesses on Ellis Street) in the ultimate year 2020 with the proposed site conditions. The percentages of the day and peak hour traffic arriving in the fourth and eighth highest hours used for these accesses are the average of the respective values for the seventeen (17) study intersections, provided in Appendix A. Appendix F provides the results of the ambient 2020 plus site signal warrant analysis for the four site accesses. The results are summarized in Table 9. Based on these analyses, traffic signals will not be warranted at any of the four site accesses with 2020 with site traffic conditions. Table 9: 2010 with Site Signal Warrant Summary

Level-of-Service Analysis with Site


The level-of-service for the 2020 conditions with the proposed development was analyzed, which include the seventeen (17) study intersections and the four (4) site accesses. Synchro software was utilized to calculate the average delay and level-of-service. The input and output for these analyses are provided as Appendix G to this report and the results are summarized on the following pages. Figure 64 through Figure 69 provide the results of the level-of-service analyses for the ultimate year 2020 with site conditions for the morning and evening peak hours, respectively. Each of these six figures indicates the necessary lane configurations to achieve the indicated and acceptable levels-of-service. At this time, a traffic signal is recommended for the Benson Lane and Frye Road intersection (#2) to accommodate all the southbound left turn movements generated by the proposed Countrywide development. Level-of-service D or better can be found at the other four site accesses serviced by stop signs.

Turn Lane Analysis with Site


Left-turn lanes were provided at all intersections with signals. Right-turn lanes were provided at intersections that the level-of-service analysis suggested their inclusion. Dual left-turn lanes and dual right-turn lanes were provided where traffic volumes suggested their inclusion. The typical methodology for determining the storage length of turn lanes is described on page 714 and 715 in the document Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, 2004 published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. This publication recommends that turn lanes accommodate 1.5 to 2.0 times the number of vehicles likely to arrive in a two-minute period. For this analysis, the right-turn lane lengths were determined by estimating the number of vehicles arriving in a two-minute period, multiplying by 1.5, multiplying by 25 feet for a vehicle length and clearance between vehicles, and approximating to the nearest 25 feet. Table 10 through Table 14 summarize the results of the turn lane requirement analyses. The taper length for right-turn lanes is typically approximately 8 feet to 15 feet longitudinally per 1 foot transversely (8:1 to 15:1). The recommended taper length is a 10:1 rate with an assumed lane width of 12 feet, which results in a taper length of 120 feet.

Summary of Conclusions
Recommendations without the Countrywide Development Only the Benson Lane and Frye Road intersection (#2) is not currently signalized of the seventeen (17) existing intersections evaluated in this study. The traffic warrant analysis indicates that the existing traffic conditions without the proposed site at this intersection does not satisfy warrants for a traffic signal. By the ultimate year 2020, traffic conditions without the proposed development will satisfy the warrants for a traffic signal. The required lane configurations to provide acceptable levels-ofservice at the adjacent, western, and southern intersections without the proposed site for the ultimate year 2020 are provided in Figure 1 through Figure 3, respectively. Recommendations with the Countrywide Development The main site access on Frye Road intersection #2 should be monitored to determine if signalization is required. The estimated traffic volumes indicate that traffic signal warrants would be satisfied. The level-of-service analyses also indicate that the intersection would operate with unacceptable delay without a signal and with acceptable delay with a signal. However, the access will serve primarily visitors to the property not employees. Countrywide experiences relatively few visitors to its office. Most importantly, a traffic signal at this intersection would be disruptive for through traffic on Frye Road. Traffic warrant analysis was performed on the four (4) additional site accesses. None of the intersections had traffic conditions that would satisfy the warrants for traffic signals in the ultimate year 2020 with the proposed development. The required lane configurations to provide acceptable levels-of-service at the adjacent, western, and southern intersections are provided for the ultimate year 2020 with the proposed Countrywide development in Figure 4 through Figure 6.

The recommended lengths of the full-width turn-lanes are provided on Figure 7 through Figure 9 on the turn lane length diagrams. Parking spaces and parking aisles within the Countrywide development should not be located within the recommended turn-lane lengths.
