Engineers explain level‑of‑service standards, data expectations and mitigation options
Presenters explained how level‑of‑service (A–F) is used to evaluate impacts, that chapter 6 requires LOS D per movement as a minimum, and that mitigation options include turn lanes, signal timing, or scope reductions when impacts cannot be mitigated.
The full story
Traffic engineers explained how they measure intersection operations and determine mitigation: analyses use industry software and report level of service (LOS) by movement; Castle Pines' Chapter 6 sets LOS D as the minimum acceptable level for each movement and overall. "Chapter 6 says level of service d for each movement and overall is the minimum standard," one engineer told the council.
