If <br />Variations yes, consider the variation and potential increase in traffic volumes during peak periods. Is it enough of an <br />Page B-4 increase to change the design? ❑ Yes, adjust traffic volumes �I_No <br />Roadway Is the intersection located on a horizontal curve? If yes, adjust taper in Step 4.
