Washpool Road- Allen Rd Intersection

The DHV for Washpool Road is 881 vehicles. The direction of travel for
these vehicles was assumed to be 50:50 as each route will give a similar
travel time to the centre of town or to the Bruce highway.
Therefore the number of vehicles travelling into the intersection of
Washpool-Allen Road will be 440 vehicles. The vast majority of the
vehicles will be turning left onto Allen Road from Washpool Road. Allen
Road is a dirt road when travelling south from Washpool Road. No
developments are planned for the near future and therefore the
expectation of traffic being serviced through this route is minimal at this
point in time. The design life of 30 years could impact the future
development and use of this road therefore future development was
considered in the intersection design.
Entering from Washpool Road:
Traffic turning left onto Allen Rd = 99% of 440 vehicles = 436 vehicles
Traffic turning right onto Allen Rd = 1% of 440 vehicles = 4 vehicles
Entering from Allen Rd (North):
Traffic turning right into Washpool Rd = 99% of 440 vehicles = 436
vehicles
Traffic continuing onto Allen Rd = 1% of 440 vehicles = 4 vehicles

Lucas St- Allen Rd Intersection

Washpool Road and Lucas Street are parallel streets that have similar
designs. Currently Lucas Street is more developed than Washpool Rd,
however the traffic volume would be expected to be similar. From the
traffic data from Lucas- Johnson Rd, the 2014 data showed that 1070
vehicles passed this intersection over a 12hr period. It is assumed that the
current traffic travelling along Lucas Street is due in part because of
Washpool Road being incomplete. Without further data it was assumed
that the AADT was the same as the vehicle movements as the proposed
development of Washpool Road would create.
Thus an AADT = 6703
DHV: 6703 x 0.12 = 804

The directional movement factor was taken as 50/50 again so this meant
that 402 vehicle would be entering the intersection of Lucas St and Allen
Road. Traffic flow described as follows:

Entering from Lucas Street:

Traffic turning left onto Allen Rd = 90% of 402 vehicles = 362 vehicles
Traffic turning right onto Allen Rd = 10% of 402 vehicles = 40 vehicles
Entering from Allen Rd (North):
Traffic turning right into Lucas St = 90% of 402 vehicles = 362 vehicles
Traffic continuing onto Allen Rd = 10% of 402 vehicles = 40 vehicles
Plus traffic heading to Washpool Rd = 436 vehicles
Entering from Allen Rd (South):
Traffic turning left into Lucas St = 10% of 436 vehicles = 44 vehicles
Traffic continuing onto Allen Rd = 90% of 436 vehicles = 392 vehicles
