Determine the pedestrian LOS for pedestrians using a crosswalk under the following peak hour conditions:

Question

Number of traffic lanes crossed = 3
Conflicting right-turn-on-red flow rate = 25 veh/h
Conflicting right turns are not channelized
Conflicting permitted left turn flow rate = 35 veh/h
Total vehicular movements conflicting with the subject crosswalk = 960 veh/h
85th percentile speed of street being crossed = 40 mi/h
Additionally, a previous analysis found pedestrian delay to be 24 seconds per
pedestrian.

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Use Equation 10.88 to calculate pedestrian LOS score for intersection.

Step 1: Cross section adjustment factor. Equation 10.89:



Step 2: Motorized vehicle volume adjusted factor. Equation 10.90:



Step 3: Motorized vehicle speed adjustment factor. Equation 10.91:



Step 4: Pedestrian delay adjusted factor. Equation 10.92:



The pedestrian LOS score for intersection will be:



The level of service is LOS B (Table 10.2)
