63 <br />Existing Roadway Capacity and Safety <br />Roadway capacity and roadway safety are two key indicators of how well the roadway system is <br />meeting the city's transportation needs. The sections below provide information to better <br />understand capacity and safety issues within Ramsey. <br />Existing Roadway Capacity <br />A roadway's capacity indicates how many vehicles may use a roadway before it experiences <br />congestion. Capacity is largely dependent upon the number of lanes. Table 38 below lists planning - <br />level thresholds that indicate a roadway's capacity for different facility types based on the Anoka <br />County travel demand model. Additional variation (more or less capacity) on an individual segment <br />is influenced by a number of factors including: amount of access, type of access, peak hour percent <br />of traffic, directional split of traffic, truck percent, opportunities to pass, and amount of turning <br />traffic, the availability of dedicated turn lanes, parking availability, intersection spacing, signal <br />timing and a variety of other factors. <br />c=y of RAMSEY <br />Comprehensive Plan 2040 <br />Metropolitan Council Submission <br />
