• A slightly larger percentage of pedestrians were left in the intersection at PCD signals (5<br />

percent versus 2 percent) <strong>for</strong> younger pedestrians. However, this was based on a very small<br />

sample size. There was no difference <strong>for</strong> older pedestrians.<br />

• Operational analysis:<br />

o There was a relatively small, uni<strong>for</strong>m increase in ADPV as peak-hour volumes<br />

increased.<br />

o There was no change in the overall LOS (LOS C remained the same) when comparing<br />

the modeled decrease in volumes of -10 percent of existing volumes to a modeled<br />

increase of 15 percent above existing volumes. There was a maximum increase of<br />

4 sec. in terms of ADPV under any of the volume or walking speed scenarios when<br />

comparing existing volume conditions to a modeled increase of 15 percent above<br />

existing volumes.
