RE: Hamrick Road & Beebe Road Signal Warrant Analysis
Southern Oregon Transportation Engineering, LLC previously evaluated the intersection of Hamrick
Road & Beebe Road under existing year 2012 peak conditions to assess the intersection operationally
and determine whether signal warrants were met. Results of that analysis showed that the intersection
operates at a LOS C during the PM peak hour with the eastbound left turning movement being the
critical movement. No signal warrants were shown to be met. The intersection was re-evaluated under
projected year 2017 conditions (assuming a 1% growth rate per year) and still shown to operate at a
LOS C with no signal warrants met.
From both a level of service and signal warrant standpoint, the critical approach is the west approach
of Beebe Road. This approach has the highest volume under existing conditions and also the most
potential for future growth. In an attempt to determine when a traffic signal would be justified, the
intersection level of service and signal warrants were evaluated with varying levels of development.
Results are provided below.
Level of Service
The two-way stop controlled intersection was shown to operate at a LOS C with 5 years of 1%
background growth considered. To determine when the intersection would exceed its LOS D
performance standard under faster growth, peak hour trips were added to the west approach of Beebe
Road until it failed. Results of this showed that the intersection decreased to a LOS D with an
additional 80 PM peak hour trips to/from the west Beebe Road approach and to a LOS E with an
additional 135 PM peak hour trips. The intersection, therefore, would be shown to fail by the year
2017 with the addition of 135 PM peak hour trips to/from the west Beebe Road approach. This is the
equivalent of 135 single family residential dwelling units.
Traffic Signal Warrants
No traffic signal warrants were shown to be met under existing year 2012 conditions or projected year
2017 conditions. Using the same approach as above, peak hour trips were added to/from the Beebe
Road west approach until signal warrants were met. Results of this showed that Warrant 1 (Eight Hour
Vehicular Volume) is estimated to be met with the addition of 80 peak hour trips (or the equivalent of
80 single-family residential dwelling units) to/from the west Beebe Road approach. Warrant 2 (Four-
Hour Vehicular Volume) is estimated to be met with an estimated 127 peak hour trips. Warrant 3
(Peak Hour) is expected to be met when Warrant 1 is met. Three traffic signal warrants, therefore, are
estimated to be met with the addition of 127 peak hour trips to/from the west Beebe Road approach.
This is the equivalent of 127 peak hour trips toifrom the Beebe Road west approach.
Conclusion
The intersection of Beebe Road & Hamrick Road is shown to meet three signal warrants by the
projected year 2017 if regular growth occurs and an additional 127 peak hour trips are generated
to/from development to the west. The intersection is shown to fail operationally by the projected year
2017 if regular growth occurs and an additional 135 peak hour trips are generated to/from development
to the west. The City has the discretion to consider installation of a traffic signal as soon as signal
warrants are met or wait until both signal warrants are met and the intersection exceeds its applicable
performance standard.
