^Level of service
Results of the 2009 DHV existing-conditions analyses at the unsignalized
intersections (Table 2.2-3) reveal that many side-street movements along the primary
Feasibility Study corridors operate at poor levels of service (i.e., LOSs E and F). Most
notably, vehicles exiting from side streets onto US Route 201 and Maine Street
experience excessive delays during peak-hour conditions.
