Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element <br /> A deficient roadway is defined as any roadway having a level of service condition that exceeds <br /> the adopted roadway performance standard. All deficient roadways became candidates for <br /> potential future road widening projects and were tested to determine whether improvements were <br /> needed to maintain the adopted level of service standards through the year 3825.2030. <br /> The traffic model makes its projections of future year traffic in the form of traffic volumes on <br /> roads . For each roadway on the network, the model uses the projected traffic volume ("v") for <br /> the road (produced by the model) and the maximum acceptable capacity (" c" ) of the road to <br /> transform each of these raw volume projections into more understandable volume to acceptable <br /> capacity ("v/c ") ratios . If the v/c ratio exceeds 1 .0, the traffic volume of a roadway segment is <br /> projected to exceed the acceptable capacity of that roadway segment. While a v/c of 1 . 0 <br /> indicates that the traffic volume is just at the acceptable level of service, a roadway with a v/c <br /> much less than 1 .0 has excess traffic capacity. In the latter case, more traffic could be <br /> accommodated, and the road would still function at an adequate level of service. <br /> Community Development Department Indian River County 55 <br />
