The recreational center will O g only experience minimal growth as thu number of users of the facility will be restricted by ry N facility capacity. O. n z H Analysis of the impacts is limited to the 4:00 to 5:00 PM peak hour since a majority of the users will travel to the facility at the end of their work shift. Most employees using the t� CA H facility will travel there immediately after work. Presently, Boeing is ending the largest shifts n U rA between 230 and 330 to minimize the impact on the transportation system.' Thus, the impact of the trips to the recreational facility will be reduced since those trips occur prior to Fa w the standard peak hour. H_30W The traffic impacts will be measured in terms of level -of -service. Level -of -service, as generally defined, is a qualitative measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream and their perception by motorists and/or passengers. A level -of -service definition generally describes these conditions in terms of such factors as speed and travel time, freedom to maneuver, traffic interruptions, comfort and convenience, and safety [Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), Special Report 209, Transportation Research Board, 1985]. Levelof-service follow an alphabetical order from LOS "A" to LOS T". LOS "A" represents a free -Flow condition where the individual users are unaffected by others in the traffic stream and LOS "F is defined as forced or breakdown of flow. The LOS "F" condition exists whenever the volume of traffic passing through a point exceeds the capacity of that point. The 1995 edition of the HCM establishes levels of service for each facility type. These levels - of -service describe the operating condition for each subject facility. For signalized C%J( intersections, the level -of -service is the average individual stopped delay in terms of seconds pervehicle (sec./veh.). For unsignalized intersections, level -of -service is calculated for reserve capacity to make a specific turning movement and is measured in passenger cars per hour (pcph). Table 1 illustrates the general range of vehicular delays associated with the level - of -service for signalized intersections. r �► TABLE 1 LEVEL -OF -SERVICE CRITERIA FOR SIGNALIZED AND UNSIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS Average Level -or -Service Stopped Delay Reserve f Per Vehicle capacity (sec/veh) (pcph) A 0 to 5.0 >400 ��►� B 5.1 to 15.0 300 - 399 C 15.1 to 25.0 200 - 299 D 25.1 to 40.0 100 - 199 E 40.1 to 60.0 0 - 99 F 60.0+ ' ' Demand exceeds capacity excessive queuing results
