INTRODUCTION

The following memorandum presents the findings of a traffic analysis comparison conducted for the intersection of Hay

Road and Stone Bridge High School entrance in Loudoun County, Virginia. The existing conditions were compared with the

proposed conditions (restriping/modifications) at the intersection to accommodate a crosswalk. A crosswalk study for the

subject location (on the east side of the intersection) was submitted and approved by VDOT on July 21, 2015. Figure 1 shows

the location of the intersection.

EXISTING ROADWAY NETWORK

A description of the major roadways within the immediate vicinity of the site is presented below:

Hay Road (VA Route 642) is a four-lane undivided minor collector according to Loudoun County CTP. The posted speed limit

is 35 mph in the vicinity of the site. Since the section is in a school zone, the speed limit drops to 25 mph during certain

times of the day.

The existing lane configuration at the intersection is shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Existing Lane Configuration and Traffic Control (2016)

EXISTING TRAFFIC VOLUMES

The operating hours of Stone Bridge High School are from 9:00 AM to 3:48 PM. In order to determine the AM, PM school

peak, and PM commuter peak hour turning movement traffic volumes, traffic counts were conducted at the intersection of

Hay Road and Stone Bridge High School entrance on Thursday, February 11, 2016 during the AM and PM peak periods (from

6:30 AM – 9:30 AM and 2:00 PM – 7:00 PM). Analysis of the existing traffic data determined the following peak hours:

AM Commuter/School Peak Hour: 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM

PM School Peak Hour: 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM

PM Commuter Peak Hour: 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM

The existing weekday AM, PM school peak, and PM commuter peak hour traffic volumes for the intersection are shown in

Figure 3. Observations were made with regards to the number of buses using the entrance and accordingly the heavy

vehicle percentages for the analysis were determined. The existing turning movement count data is included in the

Technical Appendix A.

Please note that the operating hours for Stone Bridge High School are from 9:00 AM to 3:48 PM. The traffic data collected

for the study intersection reveals that the AM Peak Hour is from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, which coincides with the School AM

peak hour of 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM. Hence, a separate analysis for the AM school peak hour was not conducted.

PROPOSED CONDITIONS - CROSSWALK AND STRIPING CHANGES/MODIFICATIONS

As mentioned earlier, a crosswalk is proposed on the east side of the study intersection along Hay Road. Per VDOT staff’s

recommendation, the following changes are proposed to the lane configuration to accommodate the crosswalk:

The eastbound shared left/thru lane approaching the school entrance will be converted to an exclusive left turn

only lane.

A portion of the existing receiving lane on the east side of the intersection will be converted to a raised median

and allow for a pedestrian refuge area. The receiving lane will be striped up to the tip of the existing left turn

taper/lane (eastbound to northbound) at Claiborne Parkway.

A crosswalk will be constructed on the east side of the intersection.

Figure 4 shows an aerial image of the intersection in the existing conditions and Figure 5 shows an aerial image of the

intersection with the proposed changes. The lane configuration at the intersection with the proposed changes is shown in

Figure 6. The proposed improvements are planned to be in place by the fall of this year (2016).

Please note that as per the email correspondence received from VDOT staff on Thursday, March 3, 2016, it was noted that

LCPS can pursue the ‘localized’ lane reduction option on Hay Road without objection from the Traffic Engineering group at

VDOT. However, this configuration will be considered as an interim measure. When the street is paved in the future, VDOT

will plan to implement the full road diet option along Hay Road. LCPS will mention this likely future change as part of its

public outreach process. The email correspondence with the VDOT staff is included in Appendix B.

INTERSECTION CAPACITY ANALYSIS - SYNCHRO

Existing Conditions Capacity Analysis (Synchro Results)

Intersection capacity analysis was performed at the study intersection during the weekday AM, PM school peak, and PM

commuter peak hours, under the existing (2016) conditions. The analysis was performed using Synchro version 8 based on

the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM 2000) data and methodology. A minimum peak hour factor of 0.85 was used for all the

approaches, unless the existing peak hour factor was higher.

The results of the intersection capacity analysis for the existing (2016) conditions are summarized in Table 1. The

description of the different LOS and delay and the detailed analysis worksheets for the existing (2016) conditions are

included in the Technical Appendix C and D respectively. The existing levels of service are shown in Figure 7.

Proposed Conditions Capacity Analysis (Synchro Results)

Intersection capacity analysis was performed at the study intersection during the weekday AM, PM school peak, and PM

commuter peak hours, under the proposed conditions with the proposed changes. The analysis was performed using

Synchro version 8 based on the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM 2000) data and methodology. A minimum peak hour factor

of 0.85 was used for all the approaches, unless the existing peak hour factor was higher.

The results of the intersection capacity analysis for the proposed conditions are summarized in Table 2. The description of

the different LOS and delay and the detailed analysis worksheets for the proposed conditions are included in the Technical

Appendix C and E respectively. The levels of service for the proposed conditions are shown in Figure 8.

Please note that the existing receiving lane on the east side of the intersection is envisioned to be a raised median. Synchro

8.0 does not allow defining the median type. It automatically changes the Median type to ‘Raised’ upon entering a median

width of 25 feet or greater. Since the actual median width provided will be approximately 12 feet, a raised median was not

coded in the Synchro files and the files show the median type as ‘None’.

INTERSECTION CAPACITY ANALYSIS - SIMTRAFFIC

Per feedback received from VDOT staff, Synchro universally overestimates the delay at two-way stop-controlled

intersections in urban corridors and SimTraffic analysis was deemed to be a more accurate representation of actual

conditions. Hence, a SimTraffic (Simulation) analysis was conducted and this section provides the results and the discussion

of the simulation analysis conducted for the existing and the proposed conditions in the AM, PM school peak, and PM

commuter peak hours, as requested by VDOT.

In order to include downstream and upstream intersections for Simulation purposes, the input files used for the simulation

analysis include four intersections on Hay Road, starting from Twelve Oaks Way to Claiborne Parkway. Please note that

traffic counts were not conducted at any of the intersections apart from the Stone Bridge HS Entrance on Hay Road. The

traffic volumes at the intersection of Hay Road and Claiborne Parkway were obtained from the VDOT files. The turning

movement counts at the other two residential entrances were calculated from the trip generation for the estimated

number of residential units that are served by the streets. The volumes were adjusted to balance the traffic volumes along

Hay Road, based on the count conducted at the Stone Bridge HS Entrance. The detailed methodology for the volume

calculation is included in Appendix F.

The following measures of effectiveness (MOEs) were compared for the two scenarios:

Delay/vehicle (s)

95th percentile queues (feet)

SimTraffic 8.0 was used to run the simulations for the analysis. The following parameters were used for the simulation:

15 minute seeding period

60 minute recording period

A seeding period is necessary to ensure that the results obtained are not skewed since at the beginning of the simulation,

there would not be any vehicles on the network. This would lead to lower travel times and delays for the traffic at the

beginning of the simulation. The network reaches the normal state during the seeding period without affecting the results

of the simulation. Five (5) model runs were performed to obtain the results. Hence, the results presented in this section are

the average results of the 5 runs for each scenario.

COMPARISON OF SYNCHRO AND SIMTRAFFIC RESULTS

A comparison the Synchro and SimTraffic results reveal the following:

The delay for the southbound left turn movement (High School entrance) increases significantly (from 31.7

seconds to 59.3 seconds) for the proposed conditions under the Synchro analysis

The delay for the southbound left turn movement (High School entrance) shows a fairly minimal change (from

33.1 seconds to 36.3 seconds) for the proposed conditions under the SimTraffic analysis

Hence, the comparison reveals that Synchro tends to overestimate the delay particularly for the side street traffic

(stop controlled) for an unsignalized intersection and justifies VDOT’s feedback that SimTraffic is the appropriate

evaluation tool for actual conditions.

COMPARISON OF EXISTING AND PROPOSED CONDITIONS (SIMTRAFFIC ANALYSIS)

As noted above, since SimTraffic was deemed to be the more appropriate tool for evaluation, the results evaluated using

SimTraffic were used to compare the existing and proposed conditions. Table 5 below presents the comparison.

Traffic Analysis Memorandum – Stone Bridge High School Page 12

March 10, 2016

Gorove/Slade www.goroveslade.com

The comparison presented in Table 5 reveals the following:

The proposed lane change and modifications do not have a significant impact on the main line (Hay Road) with the

proposed conversion of an eastbound shared left/thru lane to an exclusive left turn lane. The main line continues

to operate at an acceptable level of service during all the peak hours and there are no stacking/queuing issues

anticipated.

The delay for the southbound approach (School Entrance – traffic exiting the entrance) increases slightly

(approximately 3 seconds) under the proposed conditions for the AM peak hour. However, there is no increase in

the number of cars in the 95th percentile queues compared to the existing conditions.

The LOS for the southbound left movement goes from LOS D in the existing conditions to LOS E in the proposed

conditions under the AM peak hour. However, the increase in the delay is minimal (approximately 3 seconds).

Please note that a secondary access point (Right-in Right-out) to the school exists along Claiborne Parkway, so

some of the left turn traffic may divert to that location.

CONCLUSIONS

This memorandum presents the findings of a traffic analysis comparison conducted for the intersection of Hay Road and

Stone Bridge High School entrance in Loudoun County, Virginia. The existing conditions were compared with the proposed

conditions (restriping/modifications) at the intersection to accommodate a crosswalk. The study supports the following

conclusions:

The proposed conditions would improve pedestrian safety due to the following reasons:

o The number of travel lanes required to cross Hay Road will reduce since the eastbound shared left/thru lane

would be converted to an exclusive left turn lane.

o The pedestrians would be able to wait for gaps in traffic in the pedestrian refuge area created under the

proposed design.

The proposed lane change and modifications do not have a significant impact on the main line (Hay Road) with the

proposed conversion of an eastbound shared left/thru lane to an exclusive left turn lane. The main line continues

to operate at an acceptable level of service during all the peak hours and there are no stacking/queuing issues

anticipated.

The simulation analysis reveals that the delay for the southbound approach (School Entrance – traffic exiting the

entrance) increases slightly (approximately 3 seconds) under the proposed conditions for the AM peak hour.

However, there is no increase in the number of cars in the 95th percentile queues compared to the existing

conditions.

Although, the level of service (LOS) for the southbound left movement changes from LOS D in the existing

conditions to LOS E in the AM peak hour for the proposed conditions, the increase in actual delay is minimal

(approximately 3 seconds). Please note that a secondary access point (Right-in Right-out) to the school exists along

Claiborne Parkway, so some of the left turn traffic may divert to that location.

LEVEL OF SERVICE DEFINITIONS

All capacity analyses are based on the procedures specified by the Transportation Research Board,

Special Report 209: Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), 2000. Levels of service (LOS) range from A to F.

A brief description of each level of service for signalized and unsignalized intersections is provided

below.

Signalized Intersections: Level of service is based upon the traffic volume present in each lane on the

roadway, the capacity of each lane at the intersection and the delay associated with each directional

movement. The levels of service for signalized intersections are defined below:

Level of Service A describes operations with very low average delay per vehicle, i.e., less than

10.0 seconds. This occurs when progression is extremely favorable, and most vehicles arrive

during the green phase. Most vehicles do not stop. Short signal cycle lengths may also

contribute to low delay.

Level of Service B describes operations with average delay in the range of 10.1 to 20.0 seconds

per vehicle. This generally occurs with good progression and/or short cycle lengths. More

vehicles stop than for LOS A, causing higher levels of average delay.

Level of Service C describes operations with delay in the range of 20.1 to 35.0 seconds per

vehicle. These higher delays may result from fair progression and/or longer cycle lengths.

Individual cycle failures may begin to appear at this level. The number of vehicles stopping is

significant at this level although many still pass through the intersection without stopping. This

is generally considered the lower end of the range of the acceptable level of service in rural

areas.

Level of Service D describes operations with delay in the range of 35.1 to 55.0 seconds per

vehicle. At LOS D, the influence of congestion becomes more noticeable. Longer delays may

result from some combination of unfavorable progression, long cycle lengths, and/or high

traffic volumes as compared to the roadway capacity. Many vehicles are required to stop and

the number of vehicles that do not have to stop declines. Individual signal cycle failures, where

all waiting vehicles do not clear the intersection during a single green time, are noticeable. This

is generally considered the lower end of the range of the acceptable level of service in urban

areas.

Level of Service E describes operations with delay in the range of 55.1 to 80.0 seconds per

vehicle. These higher delay values generally indicate poor progression, long cycle lengths, and

high traffic volumes. Individual cycle failures are frequent occurrences. LOS E has been set as

the limit of acceptable conditions.

Level of Service F describes operations with average delay in excess of 80.0 seconds per vehicle.

This is considered to be unacceptable to most drivers. This condition often occurs with over-

saturation, i.e., when traffic arrives at a flow rate that exceeds the capacity of the intersection.

It may also occur at high volumes with many individual cycle failures. Poor progression and

long cycle lengths may also contribute to such delays.

Unsignalized Intersections: At an unsignalized intersection, the major street through traffic and right

turns are assumed to operate unimpeded and therefore receive no level of service rating. The level of

service for the minor street and the major street left turn traffic is dependent on the volume and

capacity of the available lanes, and, the number and frequency of acceptable gaps in the major street

traffic to make a conflicting turn. The level of service grade is provided for each conflicting movement

at an unsignalized intersection and is based on the total average delay experienced by each vehicle.

The delay includes the time it takes a vehicle to move from the back of a queue through the

intersection.

The unsignalized intersection level of service analysis does not account for variations in driver behavior

or the effects of nearby traffic signals. Therefore, the results from this analysis usually indicates worse

levels of service than may be experienced in the field. The unsignalized intersection level of service

descriptions are provided below:

Level of Service A. Describes operations where there is very little to no conflicting traffic for a

minor side street movement, i.e., an average total delay of less than 10.0 seconds per vehicle.

Level of Service B. Describes operations with average total delay in the range of 10.1 to 15.0

seconds per vehicle.

Level of Service C. Describes operations with average total delay in the range of 15.1 to 25.0

second per vehicle.

Level of Service D. Describes operations with average total delay in the range of 25.1 to 35.0

seconds per vehicle.

Level of Service E. Describes operations with average total delay in the range of 35.1 to 50.0

seconds per vehicle.

Level of Service F. Describes operations with average total delay of 50 seconds per vehicle. LOS

F exists when there are insufficient gaps of suitable size to allow a side street demand to cross

safely through or enter a major street traffic stream. This level of service is generally evident

from extremely long total delays experienced by side street traffic and by queuing on the minor

approaches. It is important to note that LOS F may not always result in long queues but may

result in adjustments to normal driver behavior.
