ORDINANCE 95-25 <br />hour/peak season parameter is considered the 100th highest hour of <br />traffic activity during a year; however, peak hour/peak season is <br />generally regarded as comparable to the 30th highest hour of <br />traffic activity during a year established by FDOT. During peak <br />hour, peak season, peak direction conditions, level of service "D" <br />is the minimum accepted standard for all other freeway, arterial <br />and collector roadways. In calculating level of service, the <br />county uses the latest edition of FDOT's generalized tables showing <br />the level of service maximum volumes for urban/urbanized areas. <br />The county uses the FDOT generalized .tables applicable for state <br />roadways in performing level of service calculations for roadways <br />under state and county jurisdiction. <br />The relationship between number of lanes, capacity and level of <br />service is provided in Table 4.1. These planning capacities were <br />derived from the latest edition of FDOT's Generalized Daily Level <br />of Service Maximum Volumes for Florida's Urban/Urbanized Areas <br />default tables. The portion of Table 4.1 relating to state <br />roadways in applicable to all roadways in Indian River County; <br />since the county uses this portion of the table in its level of <br />service calculations. <br />The capacities used in the Florida Standard Urban Transportation <br />Model Structure (FSUTMS) model reflect typical arterial conditions, <br />where traffic entering and existing driveways as well as local <br />intersection operations impede the free flow movement on the <br />roadway. Conceptually, there are no such impedances on a bridge, <br />and as a result, bridge capacities are usually higher than <br />arterials. However, this greater capacity is not that meaningful <br />within the context of overall operating conditions of a road. <br />69 <br />October 24, 1995 <br />Boa 96 FaIa 4513 <br />
