If <br />yes, consider the variation and potential increase in traffic volumes during peak periods. Is it enough of an <br />increase to change the design? ❑ Yes, adjust traffic volumes ' • No <br />Is the intersection located on a horizontal curve? If yes, adjust taper in Step 4. (See Page B-17 and Table B-8) <br />❑ Yes, on horizontal curve )i0o <br />Are there adjacent intersections that may influence the turn lane design? If yes, consider adjustments to the turn <br />lane design to better accommodate the constrained conditions.
