≥ 80 secF> 20-35 secC
Acceptable limit
Level of Service (LOS)
• Measures the delay of vehicles through
the intersection
• Represented by a grading system with
A meaning little or no delay and going to
F meaning stop and go traffic
• General Plan Policy acceptable LOS is D
Traffic Study Results
Findings and Recommendations
• Level of Service (LOS) at
intersections stays within
acceptable range
• Update signal timing to
separate phases for drivers
and pedestrians/bicyclists
