DATA COLLECTION

Manual turning movement count (TMC) data was collected at all intersections within the study area by the City of Oakwood and the City of Kettering. Traffic data was collected from 7:15 to 8:45 AM and from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. Peak traffic volumes occur at the critical intersection of Dorothy Lane and Shroyer Road between 7:15 and 8:15 AM (morning peak hour) and between 4:45 and 5:45 PM (evening peak hour). Appendix B contains the TMC data. Peak hour volumes of the Dorothy Lane and Shroyer Road intersection are summarized in Table 1.

A growth rate was not applied to the existing volumes since future traffic volumes are not expected to increase.

The destination of traffic in the curb lane (shared through-right movement) on the northbound approach was of particular interest to quantify the volume of through vehicles. Changes to the lane configuration of Shroyer Road may be affected by the distribution of through vehicles per lane. Table 2 provides a summary of through vehicles in the northbound curb lane between Dorothy Lane and East Drive.
