The new traffic was assigned to the adjacent roadway network after reviewing access to higher order roadways such as Cooks Bridge Road and East Veterans Highway. Traffic was assigned as follows:
50 percent to and from Cooks Bridge Road
30 percent to and from East Veterans Highway
Site generated and distributed traffic is shown on Figure 3 in the Appendix.
A design year of 2035 was assumed in accordance with Ocean County Planning Board protocol. The New Jersey Department of Transportation's (NJDOT) background traffic growth rate data for the area was consulted and existing base 2025 traffic volumes were expanded by 10 percent in order to reflect design year 2035 no-build traffic volumes which are shown on Figure 4 in the Appendix. New site generated traffic from the Shul expansion was then surcharged onto no-build volumes and are shown on Figure 5 in the Appendix.
Traffic engineers calculate levels of service of unsignalized intersections which relate to the quality of traffic flow. Level of service is a measure of average control delay. Average control delay is the time lost due to deceleration and the amount of time from when a vehicle is stopped for a traffic control device (or at the end of the queue) to when the vehicle departs the intersection. Delay is a relative quantity of driver discomfort, frustration, fuel consumption, and loss in travel time.
Levels of service range from “A” to “F” with “A” being the highest or best attainable level of service. Level of service “E” with average control delays of not more than 50 seconds per vehicle at an unsignalized intersection indicates near to or at capacity conditions and is generally considered the limit of acceptable level of service and delay.
