2. Left turn lane lengths. The average length of dedicated left turn lanes at unsignalized intersections is equal to 100 feet which includes the 50 ft diverging taper. The full width, left turn lane length of 50 feet is adequate to serve peak hour volumes of 60 vehicles (or 15 vehicles in a 15-minute period).

Data collection conducted by the City of Oakwood indicate that left turn volumes do not exceed 60 vehicles in the peak hour (or 15 vehicles in the peak 15 minute period) with one exception: the NB left turn movement at Dellwood Avenue. The peak 15-minute period at the Dellwood Avenue intersection documented 17 northbound vehicles turning left which requires an additional 20 feet of length. See Appendix B for turning movement data at each intersection within the study area.

3. Dedicated bike lanes. Dedicated bike lanes are proposed on most segments of Shroyer Road. Segments where travel lanes transition between East Drive and Claranna Avenue are not able to accommodate dedicated bike lanes. The use of sharrows are proposed for this segment to indicate motorists are to share the roadway with cyclists. Bike lanes provide a route for cyclists to access the Kettering-Dayton trail (#19) from the residential land uses within the City of Oakwood. The bike lane also provides a buffer to pedestrians on the existing sidewalk.

4. Bus Route. Bus route #17 has 7 bus stop locations on northbound Shroyer Road and 8 bus stop locations on southbound Shroyer Road. The proposed 3-lane section will result in delays to motorists using Shroyer Road when a bus stops to load/unload passengers. The greatest delays can be expected during the peak hours when one bus is scheduled every 1 hour and 40 minutes.

A bus pull off can be accommodated at the East Drive intersection in the northbound direction to minimize delays to through traffic. A reduction of the number of bus stop locations to 4 in each direction should also be considered to reduce delays to through traffic. Assuming a bus stops at every stop (4 locations) during the PM peak period in the southbound direction, a maximum queue length of 1,000 feet could form behind a bus over a 3.5 minute period before it reaches the Dorothy Lane intersection.

5. Intersection Capacity. Intersection capacity analysis was performed at the highest volume intersections within the City of Oakwood: Claranna Avenue, Wiltshire Boulevard, and Greenmount Boulevard. The capacity analysis shows that the Level of Service (LOS) on the side street approaches during the peak traffic period, can expect to degrade from an LOS C to LOS D at 2 intersections as shown in Table 7. The other intersections on Shroyer Road can expect to experience delays consistent with an LOS C for the proposed
