Virginia Department of Transportation 701 VDOT Way Charlottesville, VA 22911 Regarding: Boyd Tavern Right and Left-Turn Warrant Analysis Mr. Moore, Please find enclosed a warrant analysis for the proposed Market at Boyd Tavern off of State Route 616 Black Cat Road between 1-64 and U.S. 250 Richmond Road. The following items are included with this report: • VDOT Traffic Data • ITE Trip Generation Summary • Warrant Analysis Exhibit • OTISS Trip Generation Reports Our analysis shows that a full right turn lane and taper as well as a left turn lane are warranted for this project. If you have any questions you may contact me at justin€►: imp-e'gineering.com or by phone at 434-953-6116. B: 'eg. : 14 i FA_ mp rngineering, P.C. The table below summarizes the 2016 VDOT traffic data for the 0.64 mile segment of Black Cat Road between 1-64 and US 250 Richmond Road, which was used to calculate the peak hour volume (PHV) approaching for the warrant analysis. Table 1. VDOT traffic data summary—Black Cat Road AADT 8000 K factor 0.1447 D factor 0.8908 PHV (AADT*K*D) 1031 Below is the ITE trip generation summary table that was used in combination with the direction factor of Black Cat Road to determine the PHV right and left turns into the establishment. The OTISS graphs showing the source of this information are included as Figures 3 and 4. Table 2.

Warrant for right turn treatment (2-lane highway) The figure above shows that a turn lane and taper is required for the site. The right turns were taken from Table 2, and the PHV approach total includes additional traffic that is to be generated by the site. 3 F-58 Warrants for Left Turn Storage Lanes on Two-Lane Highways Advancing volume and opposing volumes(VPH), speed and percent left turns are used to determine whether a left turn storage lane is warranted on two-lane highways. The warrants in table below are taken from the 2011 AASHTO Green Book, Chapter 9, Section 9.7.3, Page 9-132, Table 9-23. They were derived from Highway Research Report No. 211,Figures 2 through 19,for required storage length determinations.

Rev.7/14 Figure 2. Warrant for left turn lane (2-lane highway) 4 The highest amount of left turns into Boyd Tavern is estimated in the morning, with 109 left turns out of a total 1,140 vehicles advancing. The opposing volume at that time is approximately 140 cars. Figure 2 above shows that for a 45 MPH road with 10% of advancing volume being left turns, the threshold of advancing vehicles is 400. Therefore, a left taper is warranted for Boyd Tavern. The following two figures display the source of the estimated trips generated by Boyd Tavern Market. Figure 3.
