Capacity analysis results identify a Level of Service (LOS), which indicates the quality of traffic flow through an intersection. Intersections are given a ranking from LOS A through LOS F. LOS A indicates the best traffic operation, with vehicles experiencing minimal delays. LOS F indicates an intersection where demand exceeds capacity, or a breakdown in traffic flow. LOS A through D are generally considered acceptable by drivers. LOS E indicates that an intersection is operating at, or very near, its capacity and that vehicles experience substantial delays. Results of the analysis shown in Table 3 indicate that all key intersections currently operate at an acceptable overall LOS D or better during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours, with the exception of County Road 116/CSAH 57 (Sunfish Lake Boulevard). This intersection currently operates at an unacceptable LOS F during the p.m. peak hour. Table 3 Existing Intersections Levels of Service Intersection — County Road 116 and Level of Service (1) A.M.
