Note: Level <strong>of</strong> service ranges from (A) indicating free flow conditions to (F) indicating over-capa<strong>city</strong>,<br />

heavily congested conditions. The effects <strong>of</strong> the maximum queue length at each intersection depend on<br />

the design <strong>of</strong> the intersection. Longer approaches to an intersection can accommodate longer queue<br />

lengths. Appendix C considers the influence <strong>of</strong> nearby intersections and the sensitivity <strong>of</strong> the location to<br />

delays.<br />

The results demonstrate that nine <strong>of</strong> the 18 intersections have a maximum DoS that<br />

exceeds the 85 per cent threshold indicating that they perform poorly. The other<br />

intersections are performing adequately; however they would need improving to<br />

either support or enable the Access Strategy projects and/or to provide capa<strong>city</strong> on<br />

adjacent roads and intersections. As such their improvement would be strategic.<br />
