N.J. Admin. Code § 16:47-4.27

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 19, October 7, 2024

Section 16:47-4.27 - Unsignalized intersection standards

(a) The general standards listed in 16:47-4.2 4 apply to an unsignalized intersection. LOS will be measured by average total delay per Table 10-3 of the "1994 Highway Capacity Manual," Special Report 209, or superseding issue.

(b) The applicant shall perform the unsignalized intersection analysis for determining fair-share financial contributions, which should be based on the levels of service, delay, and traffic volumes at the appropriate peak hour. Turns may not cause excessive disruption to through traffic and may not be allowed when acceptance of substandard gaps is promoted. In some cases elimination of the movement and diversion of the demand to a nearby location is the preferred treatment. Comments on the interaction of conflicting movements at adjacent access points may be required.

(c) For a study location at street intersections, the maximum allowable build delay for each movement shall be determined as follows:

	Maximum Allowable Build Delay in
No-Build	Seconds
Level of Service	Urban	Rural
A-B	15	15
C, D, E	5 more than no-build,	N/A
	up to 45
C-D	N/A	5 more than no-build,
		up to 30
E	N/A	No worse than
		no-build
F	No worse than	No worse than
	no-build	no-build

(d) For site driveways, the maximum allowable build delay for each movement shall be determined as follows:

	Maximum Allowable Build Delay in
No-Build	Seconds
Level of Service	Urban	Rural
A-E	45	30
F	No worse than	No worse than
	no-build	no-build
