.
125.12(B)(5)(c) Compact deferral area. A compact deferral area is created when a
segment or intersection becomes over-capacity or operationally deficient due to the cumulative sum of existing and approved trips including the proposed trips. For the purposes of the transportation
review, the compact deferral area created by an over-capacity
segment is specifically defined as a “two-mile band having a centerline which is coincident with the centerline of the over-capacity (deficient) link extending parallel to the over-capacity link for a distance of one-half mile beyond each endpoint of the over-capacity link.” The compact deferral area created when an intersection becomes deficient due to unacceptable operations on one or more of its approaches is specifically defined as the “circular area encompassed by a one-mile radius with its center being located coincident with the center of the deficient intersection, the center of the intersection being the point of intersection of the intersecting
centerlines.”
125.12(B)(5)(d) Insignificant impact. A shall be considered to have an insignificant impact on a deficient
segment if the daily and peak hour generated by the on the deficient
segment does not exceed 0.5% of the link’s capacity (service volume) at the adopted level of service. A shall be considered to have an insignificant impact on a deficient intersection if the total of peak hour trips generated by the assigned through the deficient intersection does not exceed more than five trips.
125.12(B)(6) Determination of capacities.
capacities shall be based on the “Generalized Average Annual Daily Volume Tables” and the “Generalized Peak Hour Directional Volumes Tables” contained in the most current version of the Quality/Level of Service Handbook prepared by the Florida Department of Transportation. For those
segments within the which are included as part of the Broward County TRIPS model network, the network capacity incorporated in the model shall be used as the Average Annual Daily capacity for the segment. The corresponding peak hour directional capacity for
segments included in the TRIPS model shall be the peak hour directional service volume from the FDOT Generalized tables that corresponds to the TRIPS model daily capacity. Intersection capacities and levels of service shall be based on Chapters 9 and 10 of the most current version of the Highway Capacity Manual, Special Report 2000, published by the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, Washington, D.C. If warranted, engineering studies may be performed to determine more localized capacities, subject to approval by the
