Section 16:47-4.29 - Ramp standards

Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 16:47-4.29

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024

(a) Ramp standards are based on density, the primary measure of effectiveness, and the level of service criteria shown in Table 5-2 of the "1994 Highway Capacity Manual" Special Report 209, or superseding issue.

(b) For a study location, applicable to an urban lot on State highway segments, with:

1. A merge or diverge influence area which operates at LOS A-C under the no-build condition, the maximum allowable deterioration shall be 25 percent of the difference between no-build density and 35 pc/mi/ln.

2. A merge or diverge influence area which operates at LOS D-E under the no-build condition, the maximum allowable degradation shall correspond to either 25 percent of the difference between the no-build density and 35 pc/mi/ln or 25 percent of the difference between the no-build flow rates in the influence area and the capacity values in Table 5-1, where the no-build densities exceed 35 pc/mi/ln.

3. A merge or diverge influence area which operates under the no-build conditions at LOS F, no deterioration will be allowed.

(c) For a study location, applicable to a rural lot on State highway segments, and with:

1. A merge or diverge influence area which operates at LOS A-D under the no-build condition, the maximum allowable degradation is 25 percent of the difference between the no-build density and 35 pc/mi/ln.

2. A merge or diverge influence area which operates at LOS E or F under the no-build condition no degradation of either density or capacity is allowed.
