Sub-problem 1b: Determining the Facility Class and Scope of the Analysis
Step 1. Setup
In the previous sub-problem, we decided that Krome Avenue will be analyzed as a two-lane highway north of Eureka and as a signalized arterial segment south of Eureka. Within these various facility types, the analysis procedures are further refined according to facility class. We will now consider the class of each facility. Here are some issues to consider as you proceed with this analysis of the existing intersection.
Consider:
-
Why is there a further distinction within facility types?
-
What parameters contribute to the distinction?
-
Are the segments under consideration homogenous throughout?
-
What additional information might be needed?
