CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN 11 TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARRANT ANALYSIS _ U.S. 31 (Meridian St.) & 103rd Street Hamilton County, Indiana INTRODUCTION This report presents the results of a traffic signal warrant analysis for the intersection of U.S. 31 (Meridian Street) and 103rd Street in Hamilton County, Indiana. Examination of the need for signalization at this intersection is based upon signal warrant criteria set forth in the Indiana Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways and is relative to existing as well as future traffic. The report is prompted by proposals for additional development in the immediate vicinity of this intersection. EXISTING DEVELOPMENT U.S. 31 (Meridian Street) is a divided four lane limited access arterial highway. The intersection of U.S. 31 and 103rd Street is near the southern terminus of the U.S. 31 Overlay Corridor formally designated in the Carmel/Clay Indiana Zoning Plan. See Figure 1. Limited highway access is maintained throughout the U.S. 31 Corridor. Specific guidelines relative to land uses, architectural, signage, landscaping, and drainage standards are also maintained. Substantial business development within the corridor, particularly along the east edge _ of U.S. 31 between 106th and 126th streets, has already occurred in recent years. Planned expansion within the larger developments will occur in the near future. Low to medium density residential development exists on both the east and west sides of the southern portion of the corridor. The intersections on U.S. 31 adjacent to 103rd Street are presently signalized: to the _ south at the ramp termini of I-465, and to the north of 106th Street. These intersections are indicated on Figure 1. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT As shown in Figure 2, recent development of the property in the northeast and southeast quadrants of the U.S. 31 and 103rd has already occurred. The planned development of Meridian at the Interstate along the west side of U.S. 31 will form both the northwest and southwest quadrants of the intersection, which will be used as a major access point to the property. - 1 - 6001 600 4., L-1—} • o u.5.51 1� oVerLsY ZONE ( • 5-2 5 6 R-1 I tit TM 5T i i5-1 ti ' 3 12)-1 . _, tii 0 Z `s ' J' IF \ b I� ioa T>i fli: !2-11),/m_j- • R-3 ,► I� , � t 13 Mil 6 11 WI pi"•'l► ^, ( 5 1-177.

Proposed Development by Trammel Crow Figure 2 Site SURROUNDINGS - 3 - Existing and Proposed In addition, the Trammell Crow Company proposes to develop a substantial portion of the area north of I-465 between College Avenue and U.S. 31 (Meridian Street). It is proposed that this development be served by extending Pennsylvania Road south and east from 103rd Street to College Avenue. Recognizing that the cumulative expansion of development within the U.S. 31 corridor immediately north of I-465 will place increased traffic demands upon the signalized ramp configuration at I-465 and U.S. 31, the Trammell Crow Company intends to defer development adjacent to the interchange to accommodate its potential reconstruction. WARRANTS FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL The warrants for traffic signals are specified by the Indiana Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Traffic signals should not be installed unless one or more of the primary warrants are satisfied. Supplemental warrants should be considered as an advisory condition, and do not mandate the installation of a signal. The following is a list of the Primary and Secondary warrants for traffic signal installation: PRIMARY WARRANTS Warrant 1—Minimum vehicular volume. Warrant 2—Interruption of continuous traffic. Warrant 3—Minimum pedestrian volume. SUPPLEMENTAL WARRANTS Warrant 4—School crossings. Warrant 5—Progressive movement. Warrant 6—Accident experience. Warrant 7—Systems. Warrant 8—Combination of warrants. Warrant 9—New facilities. Warrant 10-Special Access. This investigation was limited to the analysis of the intersection in terms of Primary Warrants #1 and #2. Few, if any pedestrians cross either of the streets. WARRANT 1, MINIMUM VEHICULAR VOLUME The Minimum Vehicular Volume warrant is a primary warrant and is intended for application where the volume of the intersecting traffic is the principal reason for consideration of signal installation. The warrant is satisfied when, for each of any 8 hours of an average day, the traffic volumes given in the following table exist on the major street and on the higher-volume minor-street approach to the intersection. An "average" day is defined as a day representing traffic volumes normally and repeatedly found at the location. - 4 - MINIMUM VEHICULAR VOLUMES FOR WARRANT 1 Vehicles per hour on Number of lanes for moving traffic Vehicles per hour on higher-volume minor- on each approach major street (total of street approach Major Street Minor Street both apprnarhes) (one direction only) 1 1 500 150 2 or more 1 600 150 2 or more 2 or more 600 200 1 2 or more 500 200 These major-street and minor-street volumes are for the same 8 hours. During those 8 hours, the direction of higher volume on the minor street may be on one approach during _ some hours and on the opposite approach during other hours. When the 85-percentile speed of major-street traffic exceeds 40 MPH in either an urban or a rural area, or when the intersection lies within the built-up area of an isolated _ community having a population of less than 10,000, the Minimum Vehicular Volume warrant is 70 percent of the requirements above. WARRANT 2, INTERRUPTION OF CONTINUOUS TRAFFIC The Interruption of Continuous Traffic warrant is a primary warrant and applies to operating _ conditions where the traffic volume on a major street is so heavy that traffic on a minor, intersecting street suffers excessive delay in entering or crossing the major street. The warrant is satisfied when, for each of any 8 hours of an average day, the traffic volumes given in the table below exist on the major street and on the higher-volume minor-street _ approach to the intersection, and the signal installation will not seriously disrupt progressive traffic flow. _ MINIMUM VEHICULAR VOLUMES FOR WARRANT 2 Vehicles per hour on Vehicles per hour on higher-volume minor- Number of lanes for moving traffic major street (total of street approach on each approach both approaches) (one direction onlcl Major Street Minor Street 1 1 750 75 2 or more 1 900 75 2 or more 2 or more 900 100 1 2 or more 750 100 - 5 - These major-street and minor-street volumes are for the same 8 hours. During those — 8 hours, the direction of higher volume on the minor street may be on one approach during some hours and on the opposite approach during other hours. _ When the 85-percentile speed of major-street traffic exceeds 40 MPH in either an urban or a rural area, or when the intersection lies within the built-up area of an isolated community having a population of less than 10,000, the Interruption of Continuous Traffic warrant is 70 percent of the requirements above. WARRANT ANALYSIS: Existing Traffic _ Traffic approaching the intersection of U.S. 31 (Meridian Street) on 103rd Street from the east was mechanically counted in August, 1987. Traffic along U.S. 31 from the north and south was counted in 1985. Sample counts taken in August, 1987 confirmed that traffic volumes have increased by at least ten percent in the intervening two years. These existing volume counts are shown in the following table. (1985 counts for U.S. 31; and 1987 counts for 103rd Street.) When these hourly counts are compared with the previously discussed warrants, it is concluded that a traffic signal is currently needed based upon "Interruption of Continuous Traffic" (Warrant #2). WARRANT ANALYSIS: Future Traffic — The planned development in the vicinity of U.S. 31 and 103rd Street, described in the preceeding sections of this report, will generate increased traffic using the intersection. Moreover, the completion of this development will substantially increase the importance — of 103rd Street, which will become a significant point of access to U.S. 31 for traffic generated between Spring Mill Road and College Avenue. The development by Trammell Crow east of U.S. 31 and by Browning Investments west — of U.S. 31 will each generate more than 2000 daily trips outbound from the 103rd Street approaches onto U.S. 31. — Therefore, both Warrants #1 and #2 will be satisfied as these new developments are completed. — CONCLUSION U.S. 31 (Meridian Street) serves two important functions: * it is a major component in the statewide highway network serving trips to, from, and through the Indianapolis urban area, and — * it provides for the daily trip making needs of adjacent and nearby developments along the corridor. - 6 - I c I a I G 0 - I -It o P ( I I'. it :i . -.)t i 1 il A, ..:- it__s'.

At 103rd Street and U.S. 31, a traffic signal is currently warranted by existing development. Moreover, the completion of planned development in the vicinity of this intersection will substantially increase the traffic on the 103rd Street approaches. Other existing and proposed development along the U.S. 31 corridor will result in further increases of traffic at other signalized intersections and at its interchange with I-465. RECOMMENDATIONS The analysis and conclusions lead to the following recommendations: Short Range * install a traffic signal at the intersection of U.S. 31 and 103rd Street with the concurrence of IDOH and with financial contributions from nearby property owners. * install an eight-phase controller with interconnection capabilities at the intersection in anticipation of future development and a master controlled corridor system. * defer development adjacent to interchange at U.S. 31 and I-465 pending determination of future right-of-way requirements. Intermediate Range * install master controlled, interconnected traffic signal system along the U.S. 31 corridor between 86th Street in Marion County and Old Meridian Street in Hamilton County. * initiate interchange improvement study to determine desirable configuration and right-of-way requirements. * seek innovative land donation/acquisition procedures to enable right-of-way to be procured and placed in reserve for future improvement of interchange. Long Range * implement interchange improvement. These recommendations are illustrated by Figure 3 which shows the development proposed by the Trammell Crow Company. - 10 -
