APPENDIX C. LOS LOOK–UP TABLES
Table 12. Shared–use path level of service look–up table, typical mode split.
1 ft = 0.3 m Table Assumptions Mode split is 55% adult bicyclists, 20% pedestrians, 10% runners, 10% in–line skaters, and 5% child bicyclists. An equal number of trail users travel in each direction (the model uses a 50%/50% directional split). Trail volume represents the actual number of users counted in the field (the model adjusts this volume based on a peak hour factor of 0.85). Trail has a centerline.
Table 13. Shared–use path level of service look–up table, high bicycle mode split.
1 ft = 0.3 m Table Assumptions Mode split is 75% adult bicyclists, 7.5% pedestrians, 7.5% runners, 5% in–line skaters, and 5% child bicyclists. An equal number of trail users travel in each direction (the model uses a 50%/50% directional split). Trail volume represents the actual number of users counted in the field (the model adjusts this volume based on a peak hour factor of 0.85). Trail has a centerline.
Table 14. Shared–use path level of service look–up table, high pedestrian mode split.
1 ft = 0.3 m Table Assumptions Mode split is 25% adult bicyclists, 50% pedestrians, 15% runners, 7.5% in–line skaters, and 2.5% child bicyclists. An equal number of trail users travel in each direction (the model uses a 50%/50% directional split). Trail volume represents the actual number of users counted in the field (the model adjusts this volume based on a peak hour factor of 0.85). Trail has a centerline.
Table 15. Shared–use path service volume look–up table, typical mode split.
Table shows maximum trail volume (one direction per hour) in each LOS category 1 ft = 0.3 m Table Assumptions Mode split is 55% adult bicyclists, 20% pedestrians, 10% runners, 10% in–line skaters, and 5% child bicyclists. An equal number of trail users travel in each direction (the model uses a 50%/50% directional split). Trail volume represents the actual number of users counted in the field (the model adjusts this volume based on a peak hour factor of 0.85). Trail has a centerline.
Table 16. Shared–use path service volume look–up table, high bicycle mode split.
Table shows maximum trail volume (one direction per hour) in each LOS category 1 ft = 0.3 m Table Assumptions Mode split is 75% adult bicyclists, 7.5% pedestrians, 7.5% runners, 5% in–line skaters, and 5% child bicyclists. An equal number of trail users travel in each direction (the model uses a 50%/50% directional split). Trail volume represents the actual number of users counted in the field (the model adjusts this volume based on a peak hour factor of 0.85). Trail has a centerline.
Table 17. Shared–use path service volume look–up table, high pedestrian mode split.
Table shows maximum trail volume (one direction per hour) in each LOS category 1 ft = 0.3 m Table Assumptions Mode split is 25% adult bicyclists, 50% pedestrians, 15% runners, 7.5% in–line skaters, and 2.5% child bicyclists. An equal number of trail users travel in each direction (the model uses a 50%/50% directional split). Trail volume represents the actual number of users counted in the field (the model adjusts this volume based on a peak hour factor of 0.85). Trail has a centerline.
