Name: Labore Road at Arcade Street Intersection Review Date: August 29, 2023 Page: 4 · Criteria C: Where: 1. The vehicular volume entering the intersection from the major street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 300 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average day; and 2. Where the combined vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volume entering the intersection from the minor street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 200 units per hour for the same 8 hours, with an average delay to minor- street vehicular traffic of at least 30 seconds per vehicle during the highest hour. but, 3. If the 85th-percentile approach speed of the major street traffic exceeds 40 mph, the minimum vehicular volume warrants are 70 percent of the values provided in Items 1 and 2. · Criteria D: Where no single criterion is satisfied, but where Criteria B, C.1, and C.2 are all satisfied to 80 percent of the minimum values. Criterion C.3 is excluded from this condition. Including the crash data provided by the Ramsey County Sheriff’s office, there have been five crashes at the intersection in a 12-month period. However, since the crash types are unknown for crashes not included in the MnCMAT2 data, it is not certain that all five crashes are susceptible to correction by an all-way stop installation as stated in Criteria B. Hourly approach volumes for Criteria C were estimated based on the latest AADT (annual average daily traffic) from the MnDOT Traffic Mapping Application. The volumes are shown in Table 2 below. Table 2. Traffic Counts Roadway AADT (2018) Labore Rd W of Arcade St 2,700 Labore Rd E of Arcade St 2,100 Arcade St S of Labore Rd 1,200 Arcade St N of Labore Rd 480 No hours were estimated to meet the minimum volume requirements for Criteria C. The warrant analysis worksheet can be found in the Appendix. With volumes too low to justify Criteria C for an all-way stop, it was assumed Criteria A would not be met either. Criteria D is not met either as 80 percent volume thresholds for Criteria C are not met. Other Considerations Corridor Consistency Traffic control of the nearby intersections was also considered. The intersections of Labore Rd at Edgerton St and Labore Rd at County Rd D located just over a half mile in either direction along Labore Rd from Arcade St are both all-way stop controlled intersections. Because of this, an all-way stop at Labore Rd and Arcade St is an expected traffic control for vehicles in this area and would provide a consistency for drivers along Labore Rd.
