The 2027 modeled volumes, with only one southbound through lane on Silver <br />Lake Road, show the following issues: <br />Vehicles will back up in the p.m. peak hour past the Wal-Mart access on <br />southbound Silver Lake Road. <br />Vehicles exiting the Wal-Mart parking lot onto Silver Lake Road will <br />experience significant delays because of the backup on Silver Lake Road. <br />Because of the delay, vehicles may exit the parking lot into the right lane on <br />Silver Lake Road and may merge/weave into the through and left -turn lanes <br />that already have a significant backup of vehicles. This may cause blocking <br />of the right -turn lane and will further degrade the operation of Silver Lake <br />Road <br />-�wsWprojects\0I538-02\Trat%ie\HC SiIver (a CR D\060417`.Mcmo.doe <br />
