Future year intersection operational analysis for the remaining intersections was not completed for this study due to the minimal increase in traffic volumes under Year 2040 conditions. In addition, with the roadway network improvements along Highway 10 under the Year 2040 conditions, volume decreases along CSAH 5 east of CSAH 56 (Ramsey Boulevard) were observed compared to existing conditions. Therefore, it was assumed that the study area intersection operations would not worsen under future year conditions and a future year operations analysis for the non -roundabout intersections was not completed. Future Year Warrants Analysis Based on existing and future year operations at the CSAH 5 intersections with Ramsey Blvd and Sunwood Drive, a traffic signal warrant analysis was performed to see if a traffic signal is warranted. The results of the traffic signal warrant analysis are shown in Table 15 and Table 16. Table 15: CSAH 5/Ramsey Boulevard Warrant Analysis Existing Volumes Year 2040 Volumes Warrant Hours Met Hours Required Hours Met Hours Required 1A: Minimum Vehicular Volume 8 1B: Interruption of Continuous Traffic 3 8 8 1C: Combination of Warrants 0 8 8 2: Four Hour Volumes 0 4 4 3: Peak Hour Volume 0 1 1 All -Way -Stop -Control 1 8 8 *Six hours of counts available with current data; warrant 1B likely to be met in 2040 Table 16: CSAH 5/Sunwood Drive Warrant Analysis Existing Volumes Year 2040 Volumes Warrant Hours Met Hours Required Hours Met Hours Required 1A: Minimum Vehicular Volume 0 1B: Interruption of Continuous Traffic 0 1C: Combination of Warrants 0 2: Four Hour Volumes 0 3: Peak Hour Volume 0 All -Way -Stop -Control 1 Based on the traffic signal warrant analysis, under future year conditions warrant 1B is likely satisfied and warrant 3 is satisfied for the CSAH 5/Ramsey Boulevard intersection while warrant 2 is satisfied for the CSAH 5/Sunwood Drive intersection. 26
