Warrant 3 Peak Hour (70% Factor) chart for Aberdeen Avenue/Park Road

Warrant #5. A total of 51 pedestrians were observed crossing Far Hills Avenue during the highest crossing hour (3:00PM – 4:00PM). The OMUTCD states that the need for a traffic signal shall be considered when there is a minimum of 20 schoolchildren (i.e., elementary through high school students) during the highest crossing hour. Assuming half of pedestrians (i.e., 25 pedestrians) during the highest crossing hour are school students, the criteria needed to perform warrant #5 is qualified. This assumption is reasonable due to the location of Edwin D. Smith Elementary School one block to the east of this intersection and the Oakwood Junior and Senior High School being located 1/3rd of a mile north of the intersection. The Wright Memorial Public Library is also located at this intersection.
