1 INTRODUCTION
This report documents the Traffic Impact Study (TIS) conducted for a new apartment building with limited
ground floor retail space near downtown Bozeman, as required by Bozeman Municipal Code (BMC), Section
38.220.060.11, parts g through i. It will have parking on-site for both the residential and retail elements and will
replace a small existing retail land use on the property.
1.1 PROJECT LOCATION AND STUDY AREA
The overall subdivision site location is shown in Exhibit 1 along with a map of the intersections studied. The
study intersections are:
1. 7th Avenue at Lamme Street
2. 7th Avenue at the alley between Lamme and Mendenhall Streets (“Alley”)
3. 7th Avenue at Mendenhall Street
4. 5th Avenue at Lamme Street
5. 5th Avenue at Mendenhall Street
From here forward in the body of this report, existing intersections are generally referred to only by their
distinguishing street names (e.g., 7th at Lamme) for the sake of brevity. While 7th Avenue carries the “I-90
Business” route designation in this project’s study area, it’s referred to as 7th Avenue (or 7th) here.
No new intersections or street access points (driveways) will be created as part of this project. The existing
alley access point for the current site will be relocated to the west, closer to 7th Avenue. The existing 7th
Avenue access will be permanently removed, and the existing Mendenhall access point will remain and be
used by The Northern.
1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The site is currently used by a retail store with off-street surface parking. It was open throughout this traffic
study, including during the time field counts were collected. The building that will replace it will include 81
dwelling units on 6 floors over a projected 3,666 square foot ground-floor retail space, with a rooftop
amenity/outdoor deck area for the exclusive use of residents. The retail space does not yet have a specific use
identified at this stage in project planning, but the applicants believe that its traffic-generating characteristics
could be conservatively estimated to resemble those of a fast-food or quick-service restaurant. A boutique
grocery market or collection of small food counters are two possibilities, but a full coffee shop is not under
consideration. In either case, it is expected to have limited reach and be organized to cater primarily to building
residents.
Parking will be provided on the site, and the building’s service and delivery access will be from either the
existing alley behind the building or the Mendenhall entrance. On-street parking on Mendenhall may be used
by some retail customers. Exhibit 2 shows the site plan, in the form of the Ground Floor Plan.
1.3 ANALYSIS METHODS AND REFERENCES
Trip generation rates, or equations as applicable, are sourced from the Institute of Transportation Engineers
(ITE) Trip Generation package’s 11th edition. ITE trip generation data, when aggregated across enough varied
sites, produce both simple average rates and best-fit equations, either linear or logarithmic, to help the analyst
derive proper estimates for their situation. Equations are generally preferred over rates, especially for larger
sites where trip generation per unit of land use can diminish with increasing project size. General ITE guidance
calls for the use of the fitted curve equation when the data set for the land use type in question is comprised of
studies from 20 or more separate sites and when the equation produces a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.75 or

higher, with 1.0 being the best possible fit. For the residential part of the project, studies in the ITE data are
numerous enough to support the use of equations. However, only trip rates are available for the retail part.
Exhibit 1. Overall Site Location and Study Intersections
Previous traffic studies in this area (central Bozeman) have indicated that the midday peak hour can be busier
than the morning peak on some streets. The area’s restaurants, coffee shops, and employers generate a
reasonable amount of traffic in the typical morning peak, but the “lunch rush” can outpace morning demand.
This typical case could argue for the analysis of the midday peak instead of the morning. However, the nature
of this project as primarily residential means that between the two choices, the higher share of traffic impact is
likely to occur in the morning peak. This resulted in the selection of the more traditional AM/PM approach.
Operational performance was analyzed at the six study intersections using the industry-standard methods
presented in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), published in its modern form as Transportation Research
Board Special Report 209. The Synchro software package, version 12, was employed as both a data
repository and a capacity analysis tool, with reports for each intersection generated using Synchro’s application
of the assumptions of the HCM’s 7th edition, the most recent at the time of this study.
The HCM methodology for intersection capacity analysis produces delay estimates for each turning movement
(or “lane group” when multiple turning movements operate from the same lane). These delay estimates are
assigned Level of Service (LOS) grades that range from A (best) to F (worst), as indicated in Exhibit 3.

For unsignalized intersections with only side-street Stop sign control, LOS for the intersection is represented by
the LOS for the worst lane group. All study locations except the 7th at Mendenhall intersection use this type of
control. Signals, all-way stops, and roundabouts use a volume-weighted average delay for all lane groups and
approaches to establish the LOS grade. City of Bozeman staff have indicated that the LOS for the worst lane
group at a stop-controlled intersection is not necessarily grounds for requiring mitigation.
Per City code, impact is determined according to the degree to which LOS conforms to acceptability standards.
The intersections analyzed here are subject to a standard of LOS C or better, though in some cases and
places, a worse LOS can be accepted if special pre-existing physical limitations are recognized. Where LOS
without the project is already worse than the standard, an impact is often defined as any increase in delay, and
a mitigation requirement can be negotiated so that it results in a delay at or below the pre-project level.
2 EXISTING AND BASE CONDITIONS
2.1 STREETS AND INTERSECTIONS
While the BMC requires impact analysis for Collector and Arterial intersections within ½ mile of a TIS-eligible
project site, the City worked with the project development team on a more reasoned approach, given that there
are a great many such intersections in central Bozeman, and that a project of this scale is not likely to generate
a very large amount of peak hour auto traffic that would justify most types of intersection capacity
improvements.
West Mendenhall Street is a minor arterial with a speed limit of 25 mph and two travel lanes carrying only
westbound traffic in the study area. It forms a one-way “bypass couplet” with Babcock Street, separated by
Main Street, and provides access to many of downtown Bozeman’s small businesses, residential streets,
hotels, and mixed-use developments, as well as extensive on-street and off-street parking resources. For
westbound traffic exiting the downtown area, it also serves as an alternative to Main. Mendenhall terminates on
the west at North 11th Avenue at Bozeman High School. It has no exclusive turning lanes at the study
intersections. Sidewalks exist along both sides of the street, and there are marked crosswalks across each leg
of its study area intersections, with the exception of the south leg of its 5th Avenue intersection. Mendenhall is a
city-designated bike route in Bozeman’s 2017 Transportation Master Plan, though it is not currently signed as
such, the pavement markings known as “sharrows” have faded, and there are no other dedicated bicycle
facilities. There is a bus stop on the north side of Mendenhall adjacent to the proposed project site.
Streamline’s Blue Line and Purple Line buses travel along Mendenhall and serve this stop with half-hour
frequencies during peak hours and hourly service during daytime off-peak hours.
North 7th Avenue is a north-south principal arterial with two travel lanes in each direction and a speed limit of
25 mph in the study area. It is a commercial corridor that connects Main Street and Bozeman’s downtown with
Interstate 90 and other east-west arterial routes in northern Bozeman. It turns into Frontage Road at its
northern terminus. Its southern terminus is at Main Street, where through movements to and from South 7th
Avenue are not allowed due to high traffic volumes and the offset nature of 7th north and south of Main. It has
no exclusive turning lanes at the study intersections. Sidewalks exist along both sides of North 7th Avenue, and
there are crosswalks across each leg of its Mendenhall intersection, as well as across the east and west legs
of its Lamme intersection. North of Mendenhall, marked pedestrian crossings of 7th are limited. There are
currently no bicycle facilities along 7th in the study area. Streamline’s Blue Line buses travel along 7th with half-
hour frequencies during peak hours and hourly service during daytime off-peak hours.
West Lamme Street is an east-west local street with an unmarked two-way travel space, on-street parking,
and a speed limit of 25 mph in the study area. It serves many residences in central Bozeman and connects
them to the city’s north-south routes as well as to the downtown area. Its western terminus is at North 11th
Avenue near Bozeman High School, and its eastern terminus is at North Tracy Avenue, where the West
Lamme and East Lamme intersections are offset from one another. West Lamme Street has no exclusive
The Northern Traffic Impact Study

turning lanes at the study intersections. West Lamme Street is a city-designated bike route, meaning cyclists
and motorists are expected to share and operate in the same travel lane. The street is currently signed as
such, though the pavement markings known as “sharrows” have faded and there are no other dedicated
bicycle facilities. Sidewalks exist along both sides of the street, though the only marked crosswalks are across
the east and west legs of its intersection at 7th.
North 5th Avenue is a north-south local street with an unmarked two-way travel space, on-street parking, and
a speed limit of 25 mph in the study area. It provides connections to east-west streets such as West Peach
Street and West Main Street for residents in the eastern half of the Midtown neighborhood. It terminates at
West Babcock Street after becoming South 5th Avenue to the south of West Main Street. Its northern terminus
is at West Hemlock Street near Westlake Park, north of West Tamarack Street. At the time of this study, a
segment of 5th north of Main Street was closed for construction of a new apartment building and a new hotel.
North 5th Avenue has no exclusive turning lanes at the study intersections. Sidewalks exist along both sides of
the street, and the north, east, and west legs of its intersection with West Mendenhall Street have crosswalks.
Its intersection with Lamme lacks crosswalks. No dedicated bicycle facilities exist along 5th.
The alley between Mendenhall and Lamme features a 20’ traveled way, but is only paved between 7th and just
east of this site’s eastern limit. It is only expected to be used for property access to 7th. No site-oriented traffic
is expected to use the alley to reach 5th directly due to that segment’s unpaved surface and low-speed, high-
friction driving environment, with trash bins, utility poles, and dense rear access to homes/businesses.
The Mendenhall/7th intersection is the only one of the five study intersections that operates with signal control.
All others use stop control, though the alley intersection at 7th is not signed. Alley stop control is implied there,
as with all alley/street intersections. Exhibit 4 shows traffic control and lane arrangements schematically at
each study intersection. Note that the unpaved part of the alley is shown with a dashed line.
2.2 HISTORICAL AND EXISTING TRAFFIC VOLUMES
There are two mid-block locations near the study intersections where MDT currently collects or estimates traffic
counts annually. These locations are on (1) Mendenhall Street at the existing site access just east of 7th
Avenue and (2) 7th Avenue at the alley intersection. Daily volumes were examined for the past 21 years (2004-
2024) at these locations for the purpose of establishing short-term future projections. Exhibit 5 shows
historical annualized daily volumes in the project area.

Exhibit 5. Historical Daily Traffic Volume
Source: MDT Transportation Data Management System: retrieved 3/26/2025
This look back at historical volumes indicates a strong zero-growth trend, especially on Mendenhall. The data
for 7th show sharp drops in 2008 and 2014 followed by steady returns to the previous level of about 16,000 per
day, along with a slower drop coincident with the Covid-19 pandemic from which volumes have not recovered.
There is no prominent trend in the recent daily traffic count data and no reason to expect volumes to be either
higher or lower going forward. To that end, there is no background growth assumed for peak hour intersection
turning movement volumes in the conduct of the TIS for this project.
Turning movement counts were collected by a third-party vendor using Miovision Scout camera technology at
all five study intersections on Tuesday, March 19, 2025. Raw intersection count data for peak periods are
provided in Appendix A. The Lamme intersection at 5th was subject to a 24-hour count to establish baseline
volumes for traffic calming analysis. Both sets of counts were adjusted using the latest available factors in
MDT’s database for converting counts to an annual average. These adjusted peak hour turning movement
volumes are shown in Exhibit 6 along with average daily traffic volume estimates. Those corresponding to
MDT locations are color-coded by location to match the historical AADT chart shown previously in Exhibit 5.
It's important to note that counts were collected while 5th Avenue was fully closed just south of Mendenhall due
to construction of an apartment building and a hotel on each side of the street in that segment. To correct for
the lower intersection volumes observed in the field, additional traffic data from a recent study of a nearby
project (The Guthrie, by Sanderson Stewart) that also counted the two 5th Avenue intersections was used to
replace (or factor, if applicable) the affected turning movement volumes prior to analysis. The volume
comparison indicated that the alternative recent TIS indicated traffic counts on 5th north of Mendenhall had
dropped between 50% and 60% as a result of the closure.

3 TRIP GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION
3.1 TRIP GENERATION
While urban mixed-use buildings like The Northern have existed for a very long time, their trip generation
characteristics are not yet well-represented in the ITE data. For buildings of this size (“mid-rise”), only non-
vehicular trips have been documented. As such, trips are generated separately for each component use and
then added together. Apartment/condominium buildings in this category, 221 – Mid-Rise Multi-Family Housing,
also have different rates for ‘dense multi-use urban’ and ‘center city core’ settings that are considerably lower,
the ‘general urban/suburban’ setting was used here. This choice was made primarily because Bozeman is not
the same type of “city” on which ITE data are typically based, but also because there are very limited study
data for those alternate settings. The lack of frequent and robust transit service (especially rail) and the lack of
office-job density within walking distance is likely to lead to more typical residential access mode share—
heavier on vehicles than the core of a more densely populated area. Trip generation for the retail part of this
project, using ITE code 933 – Fast Food Restaurant Without Drive-Through, is believed to be highly
conservative given the range of possible options for the ground floor space indicated. There is not a strongly
analogous ITE land use for “non-coffee” small food service uses, so fast food use was selected for this space.
The analysis team believes that it is highly likely that the realized trip generation for the retail portion of this
project will be lower than what is reported and analyzed here.
The Northern Traffic Impact Study
October 2025 9
Three types of adjustments to trip generation were evaluated for this project. First, a discount is sometimes
taken to reflect internal capture where multiple uses are present in a single project site. Because the retail
space here is not currently defined and is small relative to the number of dwelling units in the building, no
separate internal-capture discount is taken. Second, some land uses attract trips that were already using the
adjacent or nearby road network by virtue of improved convenience over a similar site that would have been
used before. These are called “pass-by” and “diverted-linked” trips. While there is considerable ITE data for
such trips for a range of uses subject to this behavior, fast food without drive-through is not one of them.
Finally, as indicated previously in Chapter 2 this site is reasonably well-served by transit and has sidewalk and
crosswalk connectivity to surrounding neighborhoods and businesses, including restaurants across 7th Avenue,
in addition to being in a relatively flat area with cycling routes connecting to it. To that end, some proportion of
the trips made by residents and retail patrons/employees can reasonably be expected to use walking (or
similar sidewalk-oriented non-auto travel), cycling, and transit to reach this site more frequently than is
reflected in the ITE trip generation estimates for a “general urban/suburban” setting. The discount applied for
this reduction could also reflect a small number of internal-capture trips, depending on the eventual retail use
type and configuration. The modal discount applied here is 15%. The project’s trip generation characteristics
are indicated in Exhibit 7. Note that the independent variable for retail is thousands of square feet (ksf).

No additional trip reduction was taken to represent the removal of the small existing retail business on the site.
3.2 TRIP DISTRIBUTION AND ASSIGNMENT
Initial, broader-scale directional trip distribution estimates were derived from a combination of existing
intersection turning movement data and local knowledge of the street network and local and regional demand.
At a more detailed site level, trips were distributed and assigned separately for the project’s two component
land uses because they have been assumed to be subject to different access restrictions. The alley access
only serves second-floor parking, which is assumed to be for the exclusive use of the residential users of the
building. The Mendenhall access only serves ground-level and lower-level parking, which, even if signed as
restricted to residents’ use only, could be subject to limited use by retail patrons. Additionally, because 7th has
no on-street parking, all other retail parking is assumed to occur on Mendenhall. This use-specific distribution
means that residential trips were divided between the two building accesses in proportion to parking supply,
while all retail trips were assigned to Mendenhall. Trip distribution and assignment percentages are shown in
Exhibit 8 for each use. The net new project trips are shown in Exhibit 9, reflected as new daily volumes and
peak hour intersection turning movement volumes. The estimated total volumes with the project are shown in
Exhibit 10.

4 TRAFFIC ANALYSIS RESULTS
Three types of traffic analysis were conducted in the course of this study: the need for traffic calming on
affected local street segments, intersection LOS/delay, and the projected inbound queue situation at the
property’s Alley access. Each is described in its own subsection.
4.1 TRAFFIC CALMING NEEDS
City staff requested an examination of potential traffic calming needs for local streets with volumes over 1,000
vehicles per day, such that an applicant could be required to construct (or contribute to) a street improvement
that keeps speeds and volumes at safe and manageable levels consistent with local street function. A check of
local street volumes was informed by a 24-hour count at 5th and Lamme (Intersection 4), the two local streets
in the study area. The legs of interest are the two that would have the most prominent amounts of traffic added
by the project: the western leg and the southern leg. As mentioned earlier in this report, because 5th was
closed south of Mendenhall at the time of these counts, to determine the “No Project” volumes, certain traffic
movements believed to be affected by that closure were adjusted using information in a recent hotel TIS for
which counts were taken when 5th was still open (late 2023). The comparison of these two counts with and
without 5th closed indicated that the closure of 5th resulted in a volume reduction on 5th of just over 50%. The
factor applied to existing field counts on the southern leg for this analysis was slightly over 2. The summary of
daily traffic on the two primary local street segments used by project traffic is provided in Exhibit 11.

Both local street segments studied would see a relative increase in traffic due to the project that, while
somewhat high in terms of percentage (38% on 5th, 30% on Lamme), would result in total traffic volumes that
are below the specified threshold of 1,000 vehicles per day to examine potential traffic calming mitigation.
4.2 INTERSECTION LOS AND DELAY
The peak hour intersection Level of Service (LOS) and delay results with and without the project are shown in
Exhibit 12. Directions are abbreviated where necessary. Analysis software results are provided in Appendix B.

a. Worst lane group is the one that determines the intersection LOS at these Stop-controlled intersections.
b. Lower delay with project is due to addition of low-delay right turns where none were observed without the project.
c. Project traffic would result in a shift in the worst movement from the SB to the NB approach at Intersection 5.
The intersection analysis results indicate only minor changes in delay for most situations. LOS degradation
from A to B is not considered significant. Both of the Mendenhall intersections studied indicate PM peak hour
LOS degradation from B to C as a result of new project traffic, but the resulting delay is still well below the
upper limit indicated previously in Exhibit 3 (that is, less than 25 seconds per vehicle). Note that the Alley
intersection at 7th had no delay indicated in the No Project condition for the PM peak hour because no turning
movement volume was observed during that hour, as was shown in Exhibit 6.
One result that could appear initially to be counterintuitive at that same location (Intersection 2) is the reduction
in AM peak hour delay attributable to the addition of project traffic. The delay without the project is higher
because the existing count indicated only left-turning traffic in the worst lane group (westbound), which must
yield to both northbound and southbound traffic on 7th simultaneously, while the project adds trips to the right-
turn movement, which has lower delay due to only needing to yield to northbound traffic on 7th. The resulting
weighted average delay for the westbound approach is lower in the “With Project” case despite the
approaching volume being higher. No traffic impact mitigations are required as a result of The Northern project.
Given its relatively small size and the nature of the project as one that’s not expected to generate heavy-
vehicle traffic beyond infrequent small-truck deliveries, no substantial additional street maintenance is
expected to be necessary.

4.3 ALLEY ACCESS
City staff requested an examination of the operation of the building’s alley door, which only serves cars that
use the second-floor parking area. The building entrance would be located close enough to 7th that only a
single entering larger-sized car (17-18’ long) could wait at the garage door while it rolls up to open without its
rear end encroaching temporarily into the sidewalk area. Exhibit 13 shows this spacing along with the turning
path of a larger passenger vehicle leaving the second-floor parking area via this door.
Exhibit 13. Alley Access
Source: Excerpted from Elevation Consulting Group, October 2025
A scientific queuing/probability analysis was conducted to evaluate the likelihood of peak-hour traffic involving
a second entering vehicle potentially blocking the sidewalk and affecting sidewalk users at the 7th/Alley
intersection. All off-street parking for The Northern would be for exclusive use by residents on a rental basis,
and those who rent spaces would be issued a garage door transmitter. The garage door openers on this
building, like those on any similar one, will be built for higher speed than a traditional house garage door, and
because the door will only be used by residents familiar with it (those renting spaces), they’ll be likely to
activate it as they approach and enter the alley rather than after stopping completely at the door itself. As such,
the time when the door is opening and a vehicle is fully stopped in the alley waiting for it to open is expected to
be minimal, if not zero. For the purpose of analysis, this potential wait time has been estimated conservatively
The Northern Traffic Impact Study

to be five seconds. Additionally, the parking garage will be built and configured for passenger cars only, so no
vehicles longer than the typical 15- to 17-foot ones in the modern vehicle fleet are expected to be present in
this alley access situation.
To evaluate the likelihood of more than one vehicle arriving at the same time, the projected future PM peak
entering volume for the alley presented earlier in Exhibit 10 was expressed as an average arrival rate of 5
vehicles per hour (all entering from 7th Avenue; 2 southbound left and 3 northbound right). Note that no arrivals
at this alley door are projected from the east, where the alley is narrower and unpaved and the access street
(5th) is much farther away.
Next, simple random-arrival queue analysis principles were applied as they are documented in a foundational
text, Traffic Flow Fundamentals by Adolf D. May (Prentice Hall, 1990). In the context of queuing analysis, traffic
intensity is directly analogous to the commonly computed operations parameter “volume/capacity ratio.” This
variable is assigned the letter ρ (rho), and it is the only one necessary, other than the number of vehicles that
can fit in the space available, to analyze the alley situation in question. Importantly, the wait time (or service
time) for queued vehicles at the door can also be considered random (as with arrivals ) for the purposes of this
analysis, as driver behavior could differ from one arrival to the next with respect to when they choose to
activate the door. The arrival and service rates in simple queueing are commonly assumed to follow a Poisson
distribution, not a Normal distribution.
The applicable mathematical relationship here is the probability of a specific number of vehicles in queue (or
fewer). The equation for this probability is:
P(n) = ρn(1 - ρ)
where P(n) = probability of exactly n vehicles waiting, and
ρ = traffic intensity (arrival rate divided by service rate)
The traffic intensity value here is arrival rate of 5 vehicles per hour divided by the inverse of the average door
wait time of 5 seconds, or a theoretical value of 720 vehicles per hour. This traffic intensity (ρ) value is 5 / 720,
or 0.0069. Applying the equation above with this average traffic intensity yields the following probability values
at any given time:
P(0) = 99.3056% [no cars waiting]
P(1) = 0.6896% [one car, no sidewalk encroachment]
P(2) = 0.0048% [two cars, temporary sidewalk encroachment]
With the average PM peak hour arrival rate of 5 vehicles per hour (or one car every 12 minutes), no additional
individual outcome probabilities were calculated. The maximum projected cumulative probability of no sidewalk
encroachment would be 99.995%. The likelihood of sidewalk encroachment at any given time, therefore, is the
remainder of the probability set, or 0.005%. Even this represents a worst-case scenario in that arriving drivers
turning into the alley could choose to wait briefly in their lane on 7th rather than block the sidewalk. In addition,
any sidewalk encroachment would be very brief because the second vehicle would not need the full ‘service
time’; they’d be following another vehicle into the garage, so the door would already be open. A standard
design threshold of 90 or 95% sufficiency means the undesirable sidewalk encroachment situation is 100-200
times less likely than should be allowable.
The clear result of this evaluation is that a vehicle entering the garage from the alley causing even a partial
encroachment on the sidewalk will have a vanishingly low probability even in peak traffic conditions.

5 CRASH ANALYSIS
Information reported in this crash history analysis includes the total number of reported crashes, injuries, and
fatalities, the crash frequencies, crash rates, and severity indices, and the types of collisions at each of the five
study intersections. Crash data were acquired from MDT for the five-year time frame, from January 1, 2019
through December 31, 2023, the most recent such period for which crash data were available at the time of
this study.
The following formula was used to calculate crash frequencies for each of the five study intersections, where
CF = crash frequency measured in crashes per year:
𝐶𝐹 ൌ 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐶𝑟𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑒𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑑
𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑑
Crash rates, measured in crashes per million entering vehicles, were computed using the following formula,
where CF = crash frequency measured in crashes per year, and DEV = daily entering volume:
𝐶𝑟𝑎𝑠ℎ 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 ൌ ൬ 𝐶𝐹
365 ൊ𝐷𝐸𝑉൰ ൈ 1,000,000
The crash frequency is divided by 365 days per year to approximate the average number of crashes per day.
To calculate the crash rate, the project’s field data for peak hour entering volume needed to be converted to a
daily average. The average daily entering volumes for the study period were calculated using the following
formula, where DEV = daily entering volume, Peak Hour TEV = the total entering volume during the study’s
current highest peak hour, GrowthFactor = the estimated average annual growth rate (expressed as a ratio)
assumed for this study based on MDT historical data, and k = an average K-Factor (ratio of daily to peak hour
volume) from MDT’s public-facing traffic count database system for the same two locations where historic
AADT is reported:
𝐷𝐸𝑉 ൌ 𝑃𝑒𝑎𝑘 𝐻𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑇𝐸𝑉 ൈ 𝑘
𝐺𝑟𝑜𝑤𝑡ℎ𝐹𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟ଷ
The Peak Hour TEV is divided by the annual growth rate cubed (to represent three years of growth) and
multiplied by a K-Factor to estimate the average daily entering volumes across the five-year period from which
crash data is available. For this calculation, the average DEV is assumed to have occurred in 2021, the middle
year of that period.
The formula below was used to calculate the crash severity index for each of the five study intersections,
where K = the number of fatal crashes, ABC = the number of crashes involving an injury of any severity, and
PDO = the number of property damage only crashes:
𝑆𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝐼𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑥 ൌ ሺ8 ൈ𝐾ሻ ሺ3 ൈ𝐴𝐵𝐶ሻ ሺ1 ൈ𝑃𝐷𝑂ሻ
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐶𝑟𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑒𝑠
This formula assigns a weight to each crash severity. For example, an injury crash is considered three times as
severe as a PDO crash in this calculation. These weighting coefficients are used by MDT.
Exhibit 14 tabulates the results of the study area crash history analysis.

Severity Index 1.0 0.0 1.5 2.0 1.0
Note that, while “possible injury crashes” and “suspected minor injury” crashes were reported for the 7th at
Mendenhall and 5th at Lamme intersections, no injuries associated with those crashes were reported. In the
five-year study period, the highest crash frequency among the five intersections is reported at the intersection
of 7th at Mendenhall, likely due to having the highest traffic volumes and its signalized traffic control. This
intersection also had the second-highest crash rate and severity index, and it was the only study intersection
where sideswipe collisions were reported. Right-angle crashes were the most frequent collision type to be
reported at this intersection, as well as the most frequent among the total number of crashes reported in the
study area. However, rear-end crashes were more widespread, having been reported at all except one of the
study intersections. The highest crash rate and severity index is reported at the intersection of 5th at Lamme,
despite having the lowest traffic volumes. The “suspected minor injury” crash at this intersection was a head-on
collision with a parked vehicle that was reported to have occurred late at night without adequate lighting while
the driver was considered impaired by the MDT. All other “possible injury crashes” and “suspected minor
injury” crashes were reported at the intersection of 7th at Mendenhall. No crashes were reported at the
intersection of 7th and the alley in the five-year study period, so it consequently had a crash frequency, crash
rate, and severity index of 0. All reported crashes of the “other” collision type were property damage only
crashes. No fatal crashes were reported at any of the study intersections during the five-year study period.
This concludes the TIS for The Northern.

Note: While Intersection 2 was originally counted to include movements into and out of the Dairy Queen
restaurant on the west side of 7th, these movements were not included in the intersection analysis due to (a)
the substantial offset with the alley on the east side and (b) the lack of any volume crossing 7th between the
alley and the restaurant access.
