Long Description: Feasibility Study Checklist - Step 5

Step 5. Roadway Capacity Analysis

Assessment: Screenline capacity analysis

If Assessment applies:

  • Assess road section capacity deficiency only

Tips/Examples:

  • Note each roadway segment intercepted by the screen line, and estimate the segment's capacity in each direction of travel
  • Create a chart of hourly composite traffic volumes for each identified segment, and assess capacity deficiencies in both directions of travel

Assessment: Section / point capacity analysis

If Assessment applies:

  • Identify movement capacity constraints
  • Measure operations level of service

Tips/Examples:

  • Apply Highway Capacity Manual recommended capacity analysis methodologies to discrete locations (e.g., roadway sections, freeway junctions, intersections) in the study area
