r <br />F <br />r <br />I * <br />)« <br />Traffic Analysis <br />Based on traffic counts conducted by City’s Public Works Department, the average daily <br />traffic volumes (ADT) on the nortli and south ends of Ferndalc Road from Trunk Highway <br />12 to County Road 6 arc 3200 and 3500 vehicles per day (VPD) respectively. Using <br />Hennepin County’s twenty-year projection factor of 1.5, the ADT in the year 2017 will be <br />about 5000 VPD. <br />Left turning movements from Fcmdale Road onto the residential streets that intersect Fcmdale <br />Road were studied as part of this report. Turning volumes were determined by using the <br />number of dwelling units that have access to tiic individual streets, calculating the daily trip <br />generation of these uses, and assigning the left turn volumes using a 50/50 north-south <br />directional distribution. Based upon these assumptions, the estimated daily left turn volumes <br />and afternoon peak hour left turn volumes are shown on the following page. <br />Estimated I^fl Turns From Femdale Road to:Daily Left Turns P.M.
