the trends in LOS and ADPV showed a uniform and relatively small incremental delay for each of the
walking speeds simulated.
A discussion of LOS and average vehicle delay (AVD) for the major and minor approaches is
included in Appendix C to this report. Table C-13 and Figures C-3, C-4, and C-5 in Appendix C show
intersection delay for major and minor street approaches at walking speeds of 3.00, 3.50, and 4.00
ft./sec. at the Broward County case study intersection.

of 3.00, 3.50, 4.00 ft./sec. and base conditions.
