Section 16:47-4.25 - Uninterrupted-flow standards

(a) Uninterrupted-flow standards for determining fair-share financial contributions are as follows:

1. The general standards listed in 16:47-4.2 4 apply. LOS will be measured by the volume to capacity ratio (V/C) and conform to the values shown in Tables 3-1, 7-1, and 8-1 of the "1994 Highway Capacity Manual," Special Report 209, or superseding issue. Table 3-1 does not define LOS B for limited access highways having a design speed of 50 mph (80 kph). For these limited access highways, LOS B is defined as a V/C ratio equal to or less than 0.50.

2. For study locations, applicable to an urban lot, which are anticipated under the no-build condition to operate at:

i. LOS A or B, increase in the uninterrupted-flow V/C ratio to the midpoint of LOS C will be allowed;

ii. LOS C, D, or E, increase in the uninterrupted-flow V/C ratio of 0.1 will be allowed, provided that the LOS does not drop below LOS E; and

iii. LOS F, no increase in the uninterrupted-flow V/C ratio will be allowed.

3. For study locations, applicable to a rural lot, which are anticipated under the no-build condition to operate at:

i. LOS A or B, increase in the uninterrupted-flow V/C ratio to the midpoint of C will be allowed;

ii. LOS C or D increase in the uninterrupted-flow V/C ratio of 0.1 will be allowed, provided that the LOS does not drop below LOS D; and

iii. LOS E or F, no increase in the uninterrupted-flow V/C ratio will be allowed.
