EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. Introduction
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is studying ways to improve regional
mobility in southern and eastern Wake County. NCDOT State Transportation Improvement
Program (STIP) Projects R-2721, R-2828, and R-2829, collectively known as Complete 540 —
Triangle Expressway Southeast Extension form the outer loop around Raleigh and surround
communities in Wake and Johnston Counties, extending from the NC 55 Holly Springs Bypass to
I-40 near the US 70 Clayton Bypass (Southern Wake Freeway) and then to I-495 / US 64 / US
264 Knightdale Bypass (Eastern Wake Freeway).
Project level traffic capacity analyses for the Complete 540 project were developed by HNTB
North Carolina, P.C. (HNTB) on February 23, 2015, for a No-Build alternative and 17 Detailed
Study Alternatives (DSA), which included 2010 Base Year, 2012 Intermediate Year, and 2035
Future Year scenarios. Based on the analysis and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
process, DSA 2 was selected as the Preferred Alternative for Complete 540.
HNTB North Carolina, P.C. has been contracted by the NCDOT to prepare project level traffic
capacity analysis for the selected Complete 540 Preferred Alternative (DSA 2) using the Preferred
Alternative (DSA 2) traffic forecast. The purpose of this traffic capacity analysis is to identify
existing and projected roadway facility, interchange and intersection operations and any potential
deficiencies for the major roadways surrounding and intersecting the Complete 540 functional
designs for the Preferred Alternative (DSA 2) under 2016 Base Year and 2040 Design Year
conditions. This report will refer to DSA 2 as the Preferred Alternative (PA) for simplicity. Figure
ES-1 shows the PA corridor and the project study area for the traffic analysis. Appendix A
contains all figures described in this report.
Traffic volumes used in this traffic capacity analysis were based on the Complete 540 Preferred
Alternative Traffic Forecast prepared by HNTB and approved by NCDOT Transportation Planning
Branch (TPB) on August 11, 2016. The traffic capacity analysis references the following forecast
volumes for the 2016 and 2040 analysis scenarios:
• 2016 Base Year No-Build,
• 2016 Base Year Build DSA 2(PA), and
• 2040 Design Year Build DSA 2(PA).
Complete 540 functional designs and interchange forms evaluated in this traffic capacity analysis
were based on the designs and interchange form recommendations prepared by Lochner, based
upon ongoing coordination, planning, analysis and design. The designs are currently being
reviewed by NCDOT.
The following sections describe existing and future transportation conditions in the project study
area, the capacity analysis methodology, capacity analysis results for the 2016 Base Year and
2040 Design Year, microsimulation operations analysis, and conclusions and recommendations
derived from the capacity analyses related to current functional design for the Complete 540 PA.
2. Existing and Future Conditions
The Complete 540 PA corridor alignment in the project study area runs primarily east-west
between the existing Triangle Expressway termini at NC 55 Bypass in Apex to I-40 near Clayton.
The corridor alignment then runs primarily north-south between I-40 and the existing I-540 system

interchange with I-495 / US 64 / US 264 in Knightdale. The corridor alignment crosses multiple
existing freeway, arterial, and local roadway facilities. The Complete 540 PA is shown on Figure
ES-1.
Under existing conditions, there are five major access-controlled freeways, numerous major and
minor arterial facilities, nine existing interchanges, one planned future interchange (STIP Project
# R-2635D), and 10 existing at-grade intersections on Y-line facilities in the traffic analysis study
area.
Existing traffic control information was provided by NCDOT for all signalized intersections. Other
relevant study information and analysis inputs for the existing study area facilities and corridors
was collected from existing aerial photography, traffic forecast and field verified in 2014 by HNTB
staff.
Under future conditions, the Complete 540 project, Triangle Expressway Southeast Extension,
will complete the Raleigh 540 outer loop. Construction is currently scheduled to be completed in
phases. Phase I(southern portion) is between NC 55 Bypass in Apex and I-40 near the Johnston
County line. Phase II (eastern portion) continues the project at I-40 and ends at I-495 / US 64 /
US 264 in Knightdale. The project is located primarily in Wake County with a small portion of the
project that extends into Johnston County.
Transportation demands, social and economic demands and mobility considerations are the basis
for additional transportation infrastructure in southeastern Wake County. Complete 540 will link
the towns of Clayton, Garner, Fuquay-Varina, Holly Springs, Apex, Cary, Knightdale, and Raleigh.
It will also connect major roadways in southern Raleigh and aid in easing congestion on the I-40,
I-440 (Raleigh Beltline), NC 42, NC 55, Ten Ten Road and other arterial surface streets by
providing a high-speed, reliable transportation option. The Complete 540 project would increase
the overall capacity of the existing study area roadway network and be expected to divert traffic
from secondary roads. The Complete 540 PA corridor is approximately 30 miles in length,
beginning at the existing Toll NC 540 (Triangle Expressway) and NC 55 Bypass service
interchange and terminating at the existing I-540 and I-495 / US 64 / US 264 system interchange.
With construction of Complete 540, there are nine existing interchanges, one planned future
interchange (STIP Project # R-2635D) and 10 future interchanges (on and adjacent to the PA
alignment), and 10 existing and 16 future at-grade intersections in the traffic analysis study area.
3. Methodology
2016 Base Year / 2040 Desiqn Year Traffic Volume Development
Peak hour traffic volume estimates for the 2016 Base Year No-Build and Build scenarios and
2040 Design Year Build scenario were developed using daily traffic forecast information from the
Complefe 540 Preferred Alfernafive Traffic Forecast. Daily traffic data, such as Average Annual
Daily Traffic (AADT) estimates for study area roadway segments, truck percentages, design hour
volumes (DHV-factor), and peak directional flows (D-factor) were entered into NCDOT
Congestion Management Section peak hour traffic volume breakout spreadsheets for each
intersection and/or interchange. This traffic volume data was then entered in the capacity analysis
software, as appropriate.
Capacitv Analysis
Per standards for the preparation of capacity analyses for TIP projects used by the NCDOT
Congestion Management Section, the Complete 540 project study area and PA were analyzed

using methodologies set forth in the Highway Capacity Manual 2010 (Transportation Research
Board, December 2010) and the accompanying Highway Capacity Software 2010 (HCS Version
6.60) for freeway facilities and unsignalized intersections. Signalized and unsignalized
intersections were analyzed in Synchro Professional Version 9. Results for AM and PM peak
hour timeframes are given as a Level-of-Service (LOS) for segments of freeway and intersections
that correspond to a letter grade of LOS A through LOS F. In general, LOS D is the minimum
threshold for acceptable peak hour traffic operations on the freeway segments and study area
intersections, and was used as a benchmark in analyzing the PA functional design geometrics for
the 2016 and 2040 analysis years. Table ES-1 includes the details for each analysis type.

System and diverge areas in HCS Freeway Facilities Module (Freeway Facilities). Calculated
both individual segment vehicular density and LOS and overall directional system
Analysis operational statistics per HCM 2010 methods.
Created Synchro network that included individual intersections, both signalized and
Intersection unsignalized, and corridors near the proposed interchange ramp terminals and
Analysis incorporated signal plan information. Build network analyzed all Complete 540
interchange ramp terminal intersections as signalized intersections in the Design
Year.
4. Development of Alternatives
The Build Alternative assumes construction of Complete 540 in addition other background
improvements that are committed to and funded by NCDOT, local municipalities, or private
development projects and would occur by the 2040 Design Year. The Complete 540 PA is shown
on Figure ES-1. The roadway design (alignment, interchange forms, geometrics, design criteria)
was provided by Lochner for use in the traffic capacity analysis.
2016 Base Year / 2040 Desiqn Year Traffic Volume Development
Peak hour traffic volume estimates for the 2016 Base Year No-Build and Build scenarios and
2040 Design Year Build scenario were developed using daily traffic forecast information from the
Complete 540 Preferred Alternative Traffic Forecast. Daily traffic data, such as Average Annual
Daily Traffic (AADT) estimates for study area roadway segments, truck percentages, design hour
volumes (DHV-factor), and peak directional flows (D-factor) were entered into NCDOT
Congestion Management Section peak hour traffic volume breakout spreadsheets for each
intersection and/or interchange. This traffic volume data was then entered in the capacity analysis
software, as appropriate.
2040 Desiqn Year Build Capacitv Analysis Results
For Complete 540 PA operations, all freeway segments are expected to operate at LOS D or
better, as shown in Table ES-2. For the NC 540 corridor (Triangle Expressway), between NC 55
Bypass and Veridea Parkway (formerly Old Holly Springs-Apex Road), two basic segments
(OHSARI B1-D2 & D2-B3) in the eastbound PM peak are expected to operate at (LOS E) or
exceeding (LOS F) peak hour capacity. For the I-40 and US 70 corridors, all segments expected
to operate at LOS D or better. On the I-495 / US 64 / US 264 corridor, results indicate that four
(4) eastbound and three (3) westbound segments at (LOS E) or exceeding (LOS F) peak hour
capacity.

5. Summary and Recommendations
The Complete 540 traffic capacity analysis was completed to evaluate 2016 Base Year No-Build
and Build, and 2040 Design Year Build peak hour traffic operations for the Complete 540
Preferred Alternative and surrounding freeway facilities and nearby intersections within the traffic
analysis study area.
Based on the 2016 Base Year capacity analysis, all the No-Build and Build PA freeway and
intersection facilities are projected to operate at acceptable LOS D or better.
Based on the 2040 Design Year capacity analysis, the following conclusions and
recommendations are presented for study area facilities and intersections:
Complete 540 Preferred Alternative Corridor
All Complete 540 PA freeway segments and interchange design configurations are projected to
operate at LOS D or better in the 2040 Design Year, based on the current functional designs for
Complete 540 as a six-lane, toll facility.
Of the 36 study area intersections analyzed at interchange ramp terminals or adjacent Y-lines,
only 4 intersections are projected to experience operational deficiencies. Three (3) of the four (4)
intersections potentially experiencing operational deficiencies are the two interchange ramp
terminal intersections along NC 55 Bypass. This is due to the high vehicular volume and limited
capacity along NC 55 Bypass. The intersection of realigned Donny Brook Road/Chandler Ridge
Circle/Wake Tech Drive and US 401 is expected to operate at LOS E in the AM and LOS C in the
PM. Reasonably feasible laneage improvements were considered and implemented at these four
(4) intersection locations as part of the Complete 540 project.

NC 540 (Trianqle Expresswav) Corridor
Based on the 2040 Design Year Build PA analysis results, two basic segments (OHSARI B1-D2
& D2-B3) between NC 55 Bypass and Veridea Parkway (formerly Old Holly Springs-Apex Road)
in the eastbound PM peak experience projected operational deficiencies. This is mainly due to
the limited capacity between the eastbound off-ramp and on-ramps at Old Holly Springs-Apex
Road. All the westbound segments are expected to operate at LOS D or better.
I-540 Corridor
The existing section of I-540 from I-495 / US 64 / US 264 to US 64 Business is projected to operate
at acceptable LOS D or better with construction of Complete 540 and I-540 planned widening to
an 8-lane facility as per 2040 MTP.
I-40 Corridor
Based on the 2040 Design Year Build PA analysis results, the existing sections of I-40 are
projected to operate at acceptable LOS C or better, with construction of Complete 540 and I-40
planned widening to a 10-lane facility with eight (8) general purpose lanes and two (2) managed
lanes as per the 2040 MTP. The PA proposes a five-leg system interchange with I-40 and US 70
and provides acceptable interchange spacing between US 70 and NC 42. The potential impacts
of Complete 540 on I-40, US 70, US 70 Business and the system interchange operations will be
re-evaluated to complete an interstate access report.
US 70 Corridor
The existing section of US 70 from I-40 to NC 42 is projected to operate at acceptable LOS D or
better with construction of Complete 540 in 2040 Design Year.
I-495 / US 64 / US 264 Corridor
Capacity analysis results indicate that I-495 / US 64 / US 264 is operating near or over capacity
with operational deficiencies in the 2040 Design Year Build AM and PM peak hours. In the 2040
Design Year Build PA scenario, I-495 / US 64 / US 264 from Hodge Road to Smithfield Road is
projected to operate at LOS E or F for 4 of 13 eastbound segments and 3 of 13 westbound
segments as a six-lane freeway facility. Construction of Complete 540 proposes modifying the
existing directional system interchange with I-495 / US 64 / US 264 and I-540 by connecting the
forth leg and constructing a flyover and a loop ramp. The system interchange was planned,
designed and constructed to accommodate the future completion and connection of the 540 loop.
This interchange modification would add one eastbound and one westbound freeway merge on
I-495 / US 64 / US 264. The potential impacts of Complete 540 on I-495 / US 64 / US 264, I-540
and the system interchange operations will be re-evaluated to complete an interstate access
report.
Ramp Demand-to-Capacitv Ratios
Based on the analysis, all the ramps at the Complete 540 at I-40/US 70 Bypass system
interchange are projected to operate with demand to capacity (d/C) ratios less than 1 in both the
AM and PM peak hours. At the Complete 540, I-540 and I-495 / US 64 / US 264 system
interchange, the ramps from westbound I-495 / US 64 / US 264 to northbound I-540 in the AM
peak and the loop ramp from southbound I-540 to eastbound I-495 / US 64 / US 264 in the PM
peak hour are projected to operate at d/C ratio greater than (>) 1. To operate at d/C ratio less
than (<) 1, the westbound I-495 / US 64 / US 264 to northbound I-540 would require two
continuous lanes to merge with the eastbound ramp and on to I-540. The loop ramp from
southbound I-540 to eastbound I-495 / US 64 / US 264 (Location # 10) would require two lanes
to operate at d/C ratio less than (<) 1. The ramps from eastbound and westbound I-495 / US 64

/ US 264 to northbound I-540 in the AM peak, from eastbound I-495 / US 64 / US 264 to
northbound I-540 in the PM peak and from southbound I-540 to westbound I-495 / US 64 / US
264 in the AM peak hour are nearing capacity (d/C ratio > 0.85). If the demand for any of these
ramps nearing capacity exceed the estimated demand in 2040, an additional lane may be
necessary to operate at d/C ratio less than (<) 1. Where ramp volumes are projected to be near
or exceed capacity, the feasibility of providing two lanes should be considered during the project
development process.

1. INTRODUCTION
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is studying ways to improve regional
mobility in southern and eastern Wake County. NCDOT State Transportation Improvement
Program (STIP) Projects R-2721, R-2828, and R-2829, collectively known as Complete 540 —
Triangle Expressway Southeast Extension form the outer loop around Raleigh and surround
communities in Wake and Johnston Counties, extending from the NC 55 Holly Springs Bypass to
I-40 near the US 70 Clayton Bypass (Southern Wake Freeway) and then to I-495 / US 64 / US
264 Knightdale Bypass (Eastern Wake Freeway).
Project level traffic capacity analyses for the Complete 540 project were developed by HNTB
North Carolina, P.C. (HNTB) on February 23, 2015, for a No-Build alternative and 17 Detailed
Study Alternatives (DSA), which included 2010 Base Year, 2012 Intermediate Year, and 2035
Future Year scenarios. Based on the analysis and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
process, DSA 2 was selected as the Preferred Alternative for Complete 540.
HNTB North Carolina, P.C. has been contracted by the NCDOT to prepare project level traffic
capacity analysis for the selected Complete 540 Preferred Alternative (DSA 2) using the Preferred
Alternative (DSA 2) traffic forecast. The purpose of this traffic capacity analysis is to identify
existing and projected roadway facility, interchange and intersection operations and any potential
deficiencies for the major roadways surrounding and intersecting the Complete 540 functional
designs for the Preferred Alternative (DSA 2) under 2016 Base Year and 2040 Design Year
conditions. This report will refer to DSA 2 as the Preferred Alternative (PA) for simplicity. Figure
1 shows the PA corridor and the project study area for the traffic analysis. Appendix A contains
all figures described in this report.
Traffic volumes used in this traffic capacity analysis were based on the Complefe 540 Preferred
Alternative Traffic Forecasf prepared by HNTB and approved by NCDOT Transportation Planning
Branch (TPB) on August 11, 2016. The traffic capacity analysis references the following forecast
volumes for the 2016 and 2040 analysis scenarios:
• 2016 Base Year No-Build,
• 2016 Base Year Build DSA 2, and
• 2040 Design Year Build DSA.
Complete 540 functional designs and interchange forms evaluated in this traffic capacity analysis
were based on the designs and interchange form recommendations prepared by Lochner, based
upon ongoing coordination, planning, analysis and design. The designs are currently being
reviewed by NCDOT.
The following sections describe existing and future transportation conditions in the project study
area, the capacity analysis methodology, capacity analysis results for the 2016 Base Year and
2040 Design Year, microsimulation operations analysis, and conclusions and recommendations
derived from the capacity analyses related to current functional design for the Complete 540 PA.

2. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The following pages describe the context of the proposed project, the existing transportation
system in the Complete 540 project study area and data collection activities conducted for the
study.
2.1. Project Corridor Description
The Complete 540 PA corridor alignment in the project study area runs primarily east-west
between the existing Triangle Expressway termini at NC 55 Bypass in Apex to I-40 near Clayton.
The corridor alignment then runs primarily north-south between I-40 and the existing I-540 system
interchange with I-495 / US 64 / US 264 in Knightdale. The corridor alignment crosses multiple
existing freeway, arterial, and local roadway facilities. Most of the project study area features
lower density rural/suburban development.
Future PA interchange spacing is well over one mile between interchanges, except for the
segment from Poole Road to I-495 / US 64 / US 264. In addition to the proposed interchanges,
the PA corridor will have numerous grade separations with natural features, railroads, and minor
y-line local roadways. There are numerous existing roadway facilities, primarily surface arterial
roadways, that parallel the proposed corridor alignment.
The proposed Complete 540 PA is being studied as a six-lane, toll facility and designed for a 75-
mile per hour (mph) design speed, with access limited to service and system interchanges with
existing y-line facilities. Similar to existing Triangle Expressway, Complete 540 is being planned
for all-electronic tolling with overhead toll gantries. No toll booths or speed reductions are required
with this type of toll facility. No specific lane restrictions, truck climbing lanes, transit, non-
motorized transportation, or High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) features are planned for Complete
540.
The general project study area and the spatial relationship of the PA corridor alignment to
connecting transportation facilities, municipalities and notable physical and natural features in the
region is shown in Figure 1.
2.2. Study Area Transportation Facilities
The future location of the PA alignment in relation to existing No-Build surface street intersections
and existing freeway crossings and freeway segments included in the No-Build and Build
analyses is shown in Figure 1. General descriptions and information for selected existing study
area roadways to be included in the Complete 540 intersection and freeway capacity analyses
are found in Table 1.

Studv Area Roadwavs
There are five major access-controlled freeways within the traffic forecast study area: I-40, I-540,
NC 540, I-495 / US 64 / US 264 (Knightdale Bypass), and US 70 Bypass (Clayton Bypass). The
following are descriptions of the major roadways within the traffic forecast study area:
• I-40 is the primary freeway corridor for regional connectivity between Raleigh, Research
Triangle Park (RTP), Durham and Chapel Hill in the Triangle. I-40 varies from a four-lane to
a six-lane freeway in the traffic analysis study area. The posted speed limit ranges from 65
to 70 miles per hour (mph) through the traffic analysis study area.
• I-540 is an existing loop freeway around the northern portions of Wake County. It currently
spans from I-40 on the western side of Wake County to I-495 / US 64 / US 264 near Knightdale
in eastern Wake County. The facility features a six-lane cross section in the study area, with
auxiliary lanes at interchanges and a posted speed limit of 70 mph.
• NC 540, also referred to as Triangle Expressway, is an existing freeway facility that is an
extension of I-540 in western Wake County from I-40 to NC 55 Bypass near Holly Springs.
The facility features a six-lane cross section with a posted speed limit of 70 mph. NC 540
from NC 54 (near RTP) to NC 55 Bypass is a toll facility.
• I-495 / US 64 / US 264 (Knightdale Bypass) is an existing controlled access freeway in the
traffic forecast study area providing access to areas of east Wake County to I-440 and further
to I-95. In the traffic forecast study area, I-495 / US 64 / US 264 features a six-lane cross-
section, with auxiliary lanes at interchanges and a posted 70 mph speed limit. Currently, the
route is designated I-495 from I-440 to I-540 and US 64 / US 264 east of I-540 with plans to
designate the entire facility, from I-440 to I-95 in Rocky Mount, as I-495 in the future.
• US 70 Bypass (Clayton Bypass) is an existing controlled access freeway in the traffic
forecast study area providing access to areas of Johnston County to I-40. In the traffic
forecast study area, US 70 Bypass contains a four-lane cross-section, with auxiliary lanes at
interchanges and a posted speed limit of 70 mph.
Other major roadways that are specifically included in the project study area include NC 55
Bypass, Holly Springs Road, Bells Lake Road, US 401, Old Stage Road, NC 50 (Benson Road),
White Oak Road, US 70 Business, Rock Quarry Road, Auburn-Knightdale Road, and Poole Road.
These existing thoroughfares are primarily multi-lane and two-lane facilities with 35, 45, or 55 mph
speed limits in the traffic forecast study area and provide regional connectivity and access
throughout Wake County, with future interchange connections to the proposed PA corridor.
Y-Lines and Grade Separated Facilities
Along the Complete 540 PA corridor, there are 17 proposed grade separations of the NC 540
freeway including railroads and intersecting minor study area roadways that have no interchange
access to NC 540. These facilities within the Complete 540 project corridor are currently planned
to cross NC 540 via overpasses or underpasses, per the functional designs, and are subject to
change. The grade separated facilities are identified in Table 2, but were not studied specifically
for any traffic operations impacts in this document, since they will not directly impact Complete
540 operations.

3. METHODOLOGY
The following pages describe the traffic volume development and capacity analysis
methodologies used in this technical memorandum.
3.1. 2016 Base Year and 2040 Design Year Traffic Volume Development
The Complete 540 Preferred Alfernative Traffic Forecasf, prepared by HNTB North Carolina, was
used to develop the AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes analyzed in this study. Appendix B
contains the traffic forecast used in this report. Refer to the original traffic forecast documentation
for additional details on the traffic counts conducted to support the traffic forecast.
Raw count data was not directly used in the 2016 Base Year traffic analyses for Complete 540.
2016 Base Year volumes that were analyzed in this report are a product of the final traffic forecast
data that included daily traffic estimates/directional splits/design hourly volume estimates that
were reduced to AM and PM peak hour information. Appendix C contains the traffic forecast
breakout peak hour traffic volumes
Daily traffic flows and design data (DHV and D) were entered into the NCDOT Congestion
Management Section peak hour breakout spreadsheets for conversion into peak hour volumes at
each study area intersection. The peak hour breakout spreadsheet results were converted into
individual AM and PM peak hour movements for the proposed Complete 540 interchange forms
in a separate conversion spreadsheet developed by HNTB. Both the peak hour breakout
spreadsheets and the interchange conversion spreadsheets are found in Appendix C.
Traffic flows were balanced between ramp terminals at each interchange, and were balanced
(through the Freeway Facilities software data entry) for mainline segments along existing and
proposed Complete 540 alignments based on an entry input volume and subsequent peak hour
breakout on-ramp/off-ramp volumes. In this manner, the existing freeway and proposed
Complete 540 freeway systems were balanced with a different methodology (and results) than if
individual interchange mainline volume breakouts were analyzed in individual HCS freeway
segment analyses.
3.2. Capacity Analysis Methodology
Evaluating traffic operations on suburban arterials and uninterrupted flow freeway facilities is
generally done by the determination of level of service (LOS) criteria. The level of service on a
freeway segment, arterial corridor, or individual intersection correlates qualitative aspects of traffic
flow to quantitative terms. This enables transportation professionals to take the qualitative issues,
such as congestion and substandard geometrics, and translate them into measurable quantities,
such as operating speeds, flow densities, and vehicular delays. The 2010 Highway Capacify
Manual (HCM 2010) characterizes level of service by letter designations A through F. Level of
service A represents ideal low-volume traffic operations, and level of service F represents over-
saturated, high-volume traffic operations.
LOS for intersections is determined by average delay per vehicle, while LOS for freeway facilities
is primarily determined by vehicular density of a defined freeway segment, merge/diverge area or
weaving section. Level of service letter designations and criteria for arterial intersections
(seconds of delay per vehicle) and for freeway facilities (average density in passenger cars per
mile per lane (pc/mi/In)) are described in Table 4.

Complete 540 - Trianqle Expressway Southeast Extension
Preferred Alternati ve - Traffic Analysis Technical Memorandum
The AM and PM peak hour results of this analysis are based on the LOS and delay procedures
presented in the HCM 2010. To obtain optimized signal timings for the future traffic conditions,
the timing optimization software Synchro Professional Version 9.0 was used to evaluate an
optimal cycle length and phasing for the projected peak hour traffic volumes. Existing intersection
signal plans were used in the analysis to develop cycle lengths, phasing, splits and intersection
coordination along the project study area's arterial facilities (where applicable). NCDOT
Congestion Management Section Capacity Analysis Guidelines were used in developing all other
scenario timings for Build scenarios and/or future year analyses. SimTraffic Professional was
used for microsimulation.
All freeway analyses, such as basic freeway segments and ramp merges and diverges, were
analyzed using the Highway Capacity Software (HCS) 2010 freeway facilities system module
(Freeway Facilities). Freeway Facilities allows the integration of individual segment analyses into
corridor analysis to study potential multi-segment operational issues.
To simplify the process of organizing analysis results for all No-Build Alternative and Build
Alternative scenarios, an identification scheme was developed for all freeway segments and study
area intersections. Build Complete 540 freeway segments were analyzed in the HCS Freeway
Facilities software package in the 2016 and 2040 analysis years, for the AM and PM peak hours,
and in the eastbound and westbound directions. Segments are numbered sequentially in the
eastbound/northbound direction and then the westbound/southbound direction. Each
identification also includes a preceding letter designation for basic freeways (B), diverge ramp
areas (D), merge ramp areas (M) and weaving sections (W) in the project study area.
To aid in the organizational process for analyzing surface street at-grade intersections and to
assist in individual corridor signal coordination optimization, each Y-line facility intersecting
Completing 540 was separated and numbered as individual zones in Synchro (1-12). Individual
signalized and unsignalized study area intersections are then numbered 1-36 moving from west
to east and south to north through the study area.

3.2.1. Freeway Analysis Methodology
The initial procedure for freeway analysis input into the HCS 2010 freeway facilities module
(Freeway Facilities) involved the segmentation of existing (NC 540, I-40, US 70, I-495 / US
64 / US 264, I-540) and the proposed freeway facility (Complete 540). The functional design
file for the PA was reviewed and segmented appropriately depending on its alignment,
proposed interchange forms and geometric characteristics. Segments fall into the following
categories — basic freeway segments, merge areas, diverge areas, weaving segments and
collector-distributor facilities.
After segmentation, geometric and traffic flow inputs were entered into Freeway Facilities for
each segment. For a basic freeway segment, these inputs and typical values used in this
analysis) include:
♦ Traffic volumes were generated from NCDOT Forecast non-adjustable peak hour
breakouts for the first entering mainline segment only.
♦ Four 15-minute time periods with demand adjustment factors of 0.89, 1.00, 1.11 and
1.00 were applied to the hourly demand to replicate a 0.90 peak hour factor. See
Appendix D for additional information.
♦ The number of lanes varies depending on existing geometrics, planned MTP
improvements to existing freeway facilities or PA design. The standard PA design is
for a six-lane divided facility in most locations, with three travel lanes in each direction.
Auxiliary lanes are proposed along Complete 540 at the following locations:
o In both eastbound and westbound directions between Veridea Parkway
(Old Holly Springs-Apex Road) and NC 55 Bypass,
o In both northbound and southbound directions between I-495 / US 64/ US
264 and Poole Road, and
o In both northbound and southbound directions between Complete 540/US
70 Bypass and NC 42.
♦ The terrain type is assumed to be "Rolling" for this area per the Design Criteria.
♦ The Base Free Flow Speed was assumed to be 5 mph greater than posted speed
limits.
♦ The Truck Percentages were calculated from the Traffic Forecast as being equal to
the percent Duals plus the percent TTST divided by two for all the peak hour mainline
study area entry segments only. The truck percentages for all other mainline segments
were calculated based on on/off-ramp percentages.
♦ Lane Width set to 12 feet.
♦ Right Shoulder Lateral Clearance set to 6 feet.
♦ Segment Lengths were determined by aerial photography or functional designs
between upstream/downstream merge/diverge points.
The Freeway Facilities inputs for merging and diverging areas contain additional input
parameters beyond the basic freeway segment information. These parameters, and typical
values used in this analysis, include:
♦ On-Ramp/Off-Ramp volumes were generated from NCDOT Forecast non-adjustable
peak hour breakouts.

Preferred Alternati ve - Traffic Analysis Technical Memorandum
♦ The location of Ramp Relative to Freeway was set to Right for all segments, given the
PA alignment.
♦ Acceleration/Deceleration Lane Lengths were determined from aerial photography,
field measurement or functional designs.
♦ The Free Flow Speeds on Ramps were set 50 mph for cloverleaf/flyover on/off
ramps/diamond on/off ramps and 30 mph for loop ramps
♦ The Truck Percentage was taken from Traffic Forecast (DuaIs+TTST/2) for peak hour
Y-lines.
The Freeway Facilities inputs for weaving areas contain additional input parameters beyond
the basic freeway segment and ramp segment information. These parameters, and typical
values used in this analysis, include:
♦ On-Ramp/Off-Ramp volumes were generated from NCDOT Forecast non-adjustable
peak hour breakouts and factored counts.
♦ The location of Ramp Relative to Freeway was set to Right for all segments, given the
PA alignment.
♦ Acceleration/Deceleration Lane Lengths were determined from aerial photography,
field measurement or functional designs.
♦ The Free Flow Speeds on Ramps were set to 30 mph for loop ramps.
After inputs were entered into Freeway Facilities and checked, output data for each segment
was collected for the segment density and corresponding LOS. In addition, system-wide
information (by freeway direction) from Freeway Facilities was compiled and compared for the
study alternatives.
The following Freeway Facilities analysis assumptions for service interchanges were also
implemented in the development of the Freeway Facilities network files:
♦ On-Ramp/Off-Ramp Volumes (Maximum 1-lane ramp demand of 2,200 vehicles per
hour. Where ramp demands exceeded 2,200 vehicles per hour, ramp lane was
increased from 1 to 2-lanes). One exception to this assumption is at the NC 55 Bypass
interchange. The off-ramp from eastbound NC 540 to southbound NC 55 Bypass and
the on-ramp loop from northbound NC 55 Bypass to westbound NC 540 are analyzed
as single-lane ramps to adhere to the existing configuration.
♦ Acceleration/Deceleration Lane Lengths (Maximum input distance of 1,500 feet. All
distances exceeding 1,500 feet were reduced to 1,500 feet).
♦ Drop Lanes (Due to Freeway Facilities analysis limitations, an off-ramp was analyzed
to remove volumes from the mainline to create the effect of a drop lane).
Additionally, the demand-to-capacity (d/C) ratios for ramp roadways at the two system
interchanges were checked for potential capacity issues using the method described in HCM
2010. The following parameters and assumptions were used in the analysis:
♦ On-Ramp/Off-Ramp volumes were generated from NCDOT Forecast non-adjustable
peak hour breakouts.
♦ The Free Flow Speeds on the ramps were set 50 mph for cloverleaf/flyover on/off
ramps/diamond on/off ramps and 30 mph for loop ramps

♦ The Truck Percentage was taken from Traffic Forecast (DuaIs+TTST/2) for peak hour
Y-lines.
♦ The maximum capacity a single lane ramp was 2,200 passenger cars/hour (pc/h) for
flyover ramps and 2,100 pc/h for loop ramps.
The capacity of each ramp roadway was determined by multiplying the number of lanes by
the single-lane capacity of the ramp. The d/C ratios were calculated by dividing the demand
flow rate by the overall capacity of the ramp roadway.
Detailed output from Freeway Facilities and the d/C ratio summary tables can be found in
Appendix D.
3.2.2. Signalized Intersection Analysis Methodology
Signalized intersection capacity analyses were performed using Synchro Professional
Software Version 9.0 for all scenarios. GIS-based roadway centerline information and geo-
referenced aerial photography were obtained from NCDOT and NC OneMap to establish a
base map for developing the proper spatial orientation of the Synchro roadway network for
the separate y-line arterial roadway corridors that have existing interchanges with I-40/US 264
or future PA interchanges with Complete 540 corridors that are being analyzed for this study.
Per direction from NCDOT Congestion Management staff, no analysis of the Y-line ramp
terminal intersections intersecting I-40, I-495 / US 64 / US 264 or US 64 Business beyond
actual PA design footprints were made for this study.
HNTB 2016 Base Year PA traffic forecast volume data for the AM and PM peak hours was
entered into the Synchro networks. Current signal plans were obtained from NCDOT and
used for the 2016 No-Build Alternative inputs for signal phasing and timing (cycle length, splits,
offset, and coordination). Additional signal timing details that comply with NCDOT Congestion
Management practices and recommendations were also updated (lost time, no right-turn-on-
red, PHF, etc.) for the AM and PM peak hours.
2016 Build analysis and 2040 Design Year Build analysis included updates to Synchro inputs
and parameters as follows:
♦ Traffic volume updates for each alternative from traffic forecast breakouts
♦ Optimization of cycle lengths/splits/offsets for the 2016 Base Year Build alternative
♦ Further optimization checks for 2040 Build alternatives
♦ Updating intersection control from unsignalized to signalized between No-Build and
Build and/or base and future year scenarios, if warranted based on unsignalized
intersection capacity analysis results and Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD) peak hour signal warrant criteria/thresholds
♦ Permissible changes in signal phasing in situations where phase orders could improve
performance and complied with NCDOT Congestion Management policies/guidelines
♦ Synchro default lane utilization factors (LUFs) were
dual left turns and/or downstream lane drops wer

3.2.3. Unsignalized Intersection Analysis Methodology
Unsignalized intersection capacity analyses were performed using the HCS 2010
Unsignalized report for two-way stop-controlled intersections in Synchro Professional
Software Version 9.0. There are six existing unsignalized, two-way stop-controlled
intersections in the project study area that were included in this analysis:
♦ NC 55 Bypass and Mid-block U-turn
♦ NC 55 Bypass and Old Smithfield Road
♦ NC 55 Bypass and NC 540 Eastbound Ramps
♦ NC 55 Bypass and NC 540 Westbound Ramps
♦ White Oak Road and Raynor Road
♦ Rock Quarry Road and Old Baucom Road
Unsignalized intersection analysis inputs were identical to the input methodology used for the
signalized intersections and complied with NCDOT Congestion Management practices.
Microsimulation runs were performed using the SimTraffic software package for 2016 Base
Year No-Build, 2016 Base Year Build PA and 2040 Design Year Build PA scenarios for the
AM and PM peak hour conditions. The models were run for one hour with a 15-minute seeing
period where traffic was loaded onto the network. Ten (10) model runs were conducted with
1-10 number seeds. SimTraffic queuing and blocking results were compiled as a check of
95th percentile queue length results from the Synchro output and as a general visual check
of individual intersection operations. No direct comparisons were made between Synchro and
SimTraffic results for vehicular delay and LOS.
Summary tables showing the LOS, delay, Synchro 95th percentile queues and SimTraffic
maximum queues for each of the analysis scenarios are included in Appendix E. Detailed
Synchro LOS and delay reports and SimTraffic queueing and blocking reports are also

2016 Base Year No-Build,
2016 Base Year Build PA, and
2040 Design Year Build PA.
A 2040 Design Year No-Build scenario is not included. Per Section 8 of the Complete 540

preparation of a 2040 Future Year No-Build (FYNB) traffic forecast in conjunction with the
preparation of the Future Year Build (FYB) traffic forecast for the preferred alternative. A 2040
FYNB traffic forecast has not been developed. Various alternative means and methods are being
explored at this time to quantitatively assess FYNB and FYB traffic forecast scenarios based on
traffic operations and traffic conditions."
The following section describes the Build PA alternative analyzed in the report.
4.1. Complete 540 Build Preferred Alternative Description
The Complete 540 PA corridor follows the orange, green, mint, and green segment corridors as
displayed in Exhibit 1 below and in Figure 1 included in Appendix A.
Exhibit 1 Complete 540 Preferred Alternative (PA)
The Complete 540 PA corridor is comprised of three corridor segments. The first segment is the
Orange Corridor for the southern section of the project. The Orange Corridor begins at the
Triangle Expressway and NC 55 Bypass interchange in Holly Springs and travels eastward to the
I-40 and US 70 Bypass interchange near the border of Wake and Johnston Counties. The Orange
Corridor primarily runs to the south of and parallel to SR 1010 (Ten Ten Road) for most its
alignment. The Orange Corridor includes planned interchanges at NC 55 Bypass, SR 1152 (Holly
Springs Road), SR 1386 (Bells Lake Road), US 401, SR 1006 (Old Stage Road), NC 50, and I-

The second corridor segment is the Green Corridor for the eastern section of the project. The
Green Corridor begins at the I-40 and US 70 interchange and heads north/northeast to the existing
I-540 and I-495 / US 64 / US 264 interchange. The Green Corridor has planned interchanges
with I-40, SR 2700 (White Oak Road), US 70 Business, SR 2542 (Rock Quarry Road), SR 2555
(Auburn-Knightdale Road), SR 1007 (Poole Road), and I-495 / US 64 / US 264.
The third corridor segment is the Mint Corridor. The Mint Corridor has interchanges at the same
locations as the Green Corridor. The only difference between the two alignments is that the
section of the project between Rock Quarry Road and Auburn Knightdale Road has a proposed
alignment slightly further to the east in the Mint Corridor option.

The 2040 Design Year Build PA scenario assumes that the Complete 540 project will be
constructed along with committed to and fiscally constrained 2040 MTP projects. Based on
information collected to date for the Complete 540 project, the additional improvements shown in
Table 6 are currently anticipated (or approved in the 2040 CAMPO MTP) in the project study area
by the 2040 Design Year. Therefore, the project assumes the additional improvements from the
2040 MTP in the 2040 Design Year.
Additionally, NCDOT STIP Project R-2635D, also referred to as Access 540, proposes to convert
the existing grade separation of Veridea Parkway (formerly Old Holly Springs-Apex Road) over
NC 540 (Triangle Expressway) to a partial cloverleaf interchange and construct auxiliary lanes

between US 1 and NC 55 Bypass. The project is currently scheduled to be open to traffic in 2017.
R-2635D functional design plans, prepared by HNTB, were reviewed and incorporated into the
freeway analysis only. A partial cloverleaf, with loop ramps in the northeast and southeast
quadrants, was analyzed in Freeway Facilities by inserting diverge and merge segments into the
existing NC 540 (Triangle Expressway) freeway network configuration. The 2040 Design Year
Build freeway analysis was updated from the 2016 Base Year to include this interchange adjacent
to the Complete 540 western project termini at NC 55 Bypass. It was assumed that all existing
roadway geometrics, laneage, and traffic control would remain consistent with 2016 Base Year
information along all other areas.
NCDOT is currently evaluating five alternatives for reconfiguration of the I-40 and NC 42
interchange as part of STIP I-4739 project. However, a preferred alternative and interchange
form is yet to be determined. Therefore, a preferred interchange form was not assumed in the
Complete 540 analysis. HNTB is coordinating with the NCDOT and STIP I-4739 project team to
coordinate the connectivity between the two projects.

5. FREEWAY SEGMENT ANALYSIS
This section presents the capacity analysis for freeway facilities for 2016 Base Year No-Build and
Build and 2040 Design Year Build PA scenarios within the Complete 540 project study area. AM
and PM peak hour traffic volumes and existing/proposed lane geometrics were entered into the
HCS 2010 Freeway Facilities software module. Detailed segment measures of effectiveness
results for the worst-case AM and PM peak hour for the Complete 540 are presented in Tables
12 and 13.
5.1. 2016 Base Year Analysis
This analysis uses the 2016 Base Year No-Build and Build peak hour traffic volumes and
existing/proposed lane geometrics to evaluate traffic operations on the Complete 540, NC 540, I-
40, US 70, I-495 / US 64 / US 264 and I-540 uninterrupted flow facilities in the project study area.
The analysis determines individual freeway segment and system-wide density and LOS measures
of effectiveness for 2016 Build PA scenario.
5.1.1. 2016 No-Build Scenario Results
All the segments along existing freeway facilities perform at an acceptable LOS D or better in
the AM and PM peak hours. Figure 2 provides a sheet key for the No-Build freeway segment
figures. Figures 3.1 to 3.5 schematically show 2016 Base Year No-Build existing laneage
and intersection traffic control for roadways in the study area, along with the scheme for
freeway segment identification numbers.
5.1.2. 2016 Build PA Scenario Results
For Complete 540 PA operations, all freeway segments are expected to operate at LOS D or
better. For the US 70 and I-495 / US 64 / US 264 corridors, all freeway segments are projected
to operate at LOS D or better. For the I-40 corridor, the eastbound segment results indicate
that corridor operations and segment densities will slightly worsen from the No-Build scenario
with two (2) segments at near capacity (LOS E) to one (1) segment at near capacity and
another one exceeding peak hour capacity (LOS F). The results for the westbound segments
indicate that corridor operations and segment densities will slightly improve from the No-Build
scenario with seven (7) segments to six (6) segments in Build scenario near (LOS E) or
exceeding (LOS F) peak hour capacity in Build.
Figure 4 provides a sheet key for the Build PA freeway segment figures. Figures 5.1 to 5.9
schematically show 2016 Base Year Build volumes, intersection traffic control, freeway
segment identification numbers and LOS for the PA.
5.2. 2040 Design Year Analysis
This analysis uses the 2040 Design Year Build peak hour traffic volumes and future
planned/proposed freeway geometrics to evaluate traffic operations on the Complete 540, NC
540, I-40, US 70, I-495 / US 64 / US 264 and I-540 uninterrupted flow facilities in the project study
area. Like the 2016 scenario evaluations, this analysis determines individual freeway segment
and system-wide density and LOS measures of effectiveness for the 2040 Build PA scenario.
5.2.1. 2040 Build PA Scenario Results
For Complete 540 PA operations, all freeway segments are expected to operate at LOS D or
better. For the NC 540 corridor, between NC 55 Bypass and Veridea Parkway (formerly Old

Preferred Alternati ve - Traffic Analysis Technical Memorandum
Holly Springs-Apex Road), two basic segments (OHSARI B1-D2 & D2-B3) in the eastbound
PM peak are expected to operate at (LOS E) or exceeding (LOS F) peak hour capacity. For
the I-40 corridor, results indicate that corridor operations and segment densities will slightly
improve from the No-Build scenario, with all segments expected to operate at LOS D or better.
For the US 70 corridor, all freeway segments are projected to operate at LOS D or better. On
the I-495 / US 64 / US 264 corridor, results indicate that four (4) eastbound and three (3)
westbound segments at (LOS E) or exceeding (LOS F) peak hour capacity.
Figures 6.1 to 6.9 show the traffic volumes, intersection traffic control, freeway segment
identification numbers and LOS for the study area intersections in the 2040 Design Year Build
PA scenario. The 2040 Design Year Build PA laneage and future 2040 MTP laneage
assumptions are shown in Figures 7.1 to 7.9.
Tables 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 provide an overall summary and comparison of LOS results for the AM
and PM peak hour LOS for basic freeway sections, merges, diverges and weaves across all three
scenarios. Detailed segment measures of effectiveness results for the AM and PM peak hours
are presented in Tables 12 and 13. Appendix D contains the detailed HCS 2010 Freeway
Facilities output files and corridor summary tables.
Complete 540 and I-540 will form a continuous freeway facility corridor once Complete 540 is
constructed; therefore, these facilities are included in the Complete 540 corridor summary Tables
7, 12 and 13. NC 540 (Triangle Expressway) would also be part of the continuous freeway facility
corridor but was included in a separate table as this section was analyzed separately under the
R-2635D project.

5.3. Ramp Demand-to-Capacity Ratios
The capacity and operations of freeway ramps at system interchanges can have a major impact
on roadway network and corridor operations. Deficiencies in freeway ramp capacity can cause
upstream and downstream operational issues on the subject freeway facility and adjacent
freeway/Y-line facilities. Therefore, the demand flow rate on the ramps at the two system
interchanges were checked against the capacity of ramp roadways. Based on the analysis, all
the ramps at the Complete 540 at I-40/US 70 Bypass system interchange are projected to operate
with demand to capacity (d/C) ratios less than (<) 1 in both the AM and PM peak hours. At the
Complete 540, I-540 and I-495 / US 64 / US 264 system interchange, the ramps from westbound
I-495 / US 64 / US 264 to northbound I-540 (Location # 2) in the AM peak and the loop ramp from
southbound I-540 to eastbound I-495 / US 64 / US 264 (Location # 10) in the PM peak hour are
projected to operate at d/C ratio greater than (>) 1. To operate at d/C ratio less than (<) 1, the
westbound I-495 / US 64 / US 264 to northbound I-540 (Location # 2) would require two
continuous lanes to merge with the eastbound ramp and on to I-540. The loop ramp from
southbound I-540 to eastbound I-495 / US 64 / US 264 (Location # 10) would require two lanes
to operate at d/C ratio less than (<) 1. The ramps from eastbound and westbound I-495 / US 64
/ US 264 to northbound I-540 (Location # 1) in the AM peak, from eastbound I-495 / US 64 / US
264 to northbound I-540 (Location # 3) in the PM peak and from southbound I-540 to westbound
I-495 / US 64 / US 264 (Location # 8) in the AM peak hour are nearing capacity (d/C ratio > 0.85).
If the demand for any of these ramps nearing capacity exceed the estimated demand in 2040, an
additional lane may be necessary to operate at d/C ratio less than (<) 1. Where ramp volumes
are projected to be near or exceed capacity, the feasibility of providing two lanes should be
considered during the project development process. The d/C ratio summary tables for 2040 Build
PA scenario and figures (Figure D.1 and Figure D.2) showing location numbers are included in
Appendix D.

6. INTERSECTION CAPACITY ANALYSIS
This section presents the capacity analysis for all the intersections for 2016 Base Year No-Build
and Build and 2040 Design Year Build PA scenarios within the Complete 540 project study area.
LOS results and additional intersection details for these scenarios are found in the raw
Synchro/SimTraffic output sheets in Appendix E. A tabular results summary across all scenarios
is found in Table 14 on the following pages.
The anticipated changes to the study area at-grade intersections between the No-Build and Build
analyses are listed below:
Ramp terminal intersections at the interchange of NC 540 and NC 55 Bypass were
converted from unsignalized to signalized control. At the eastbound ramps, only the
southbound left-turn, northbound through and right-turn, and westbound right-turn
movements will be under signal control. The southbound through and eastbound right-
turn movements will operate under free-flowing conditions. At the westbound ramps, the
northbound right-turn movement will operate under free-flowing conditions while all other
movements will be under signal control.
The Old Smithfield Road and Mid-block U-turn intersections along NC 55 Bypass were
converted from unsignalized to signalized control due the heavy volumes and the wide
cross-section along NC 55 Bypass. At the Old Smithfield Road intersection, only the
southbound through and northbound left-turn movements will operate under signal control.
The northbound through will operate under free-flowing condition while the eastbound
right-turn and westbound right-turn will operate under stop-control. Per the HCS Peak
Hour Signal Warrants Analysis module results, this intersection meets the MUTCD peak
hour signal warrant threshold in both 2016 and 2040 Build PA scenarios. At the Mid-block
U-turn intersection, the southbound U-turn and northbound through will operate under the
signal control while the southbound through will operate under free-flowing conditions.
6.1. 2016 Base Year Analysis
This analysis uses the 2016 Base Year No-Build and Build peak hour traffic volumes and existing
and proposed geometrics to evaluate traffic operations at all the intersections in the project study
area.
6.1.1. 2016 No-Build Scenario Results
For the 2016 No-Build alternative AM and PM peak hour scenarios, 8 out of the 12 analyzed
intersections operate at LOS D or better in the AM and PM peak hours. The two ramp terminal
intersections at the interchange of NC 540 and NC 55 Bypass were not analyzed because
they currently operate under free-flow conditions with the existing geometric configuration.
Intersections that experience deficient overall LOS in at least one peak hour include:
♦ Holly Springs Road and Kildaire Farm Road Drive in the PM (LOS E) peak hour, due
to high vehicular delays for the eastbound right-turn movement from Kildaire Farm
Road to Holly Springs Road.
♦ NC 50 and Cleveland School Road / Stevens Oaks Drive in the AM peak hour (LOS
E), due to limited capacity for the westbound right-turn movement from Cleveland
School Road to NC 50, southbound left-turn movement from NC 50 to Cleveland
School Road and due to heavy opposing traffic for the northbound through movement
along NC 50.

NCDOT STIP R-2721, R-2828 & R-2829
Complete 540 - Trianqle Expressway Southeast Extension
Detailed Study Alternatives - Traffic Analysis Technical Memorandum
♦ White Oak Road and Raynor Road in both the AM (LOS F) and PM (LOS F) peak
hours, due to the high vehicular delay for the southbound shared left and right-turn
movements on Raynor Road.
6.1.2. 2016 Build PA Scenario Results
For the 2016 Build PA AM and PM peak hour scenarios, it was assumed that all existing
signalized intersections in the project study area would be re-optimized, to reflect anticipated
traffic volume changes that were included in the Complete 540 traffic forecast data. These
changes had a positive effect on operations at the NC 50 and Cleveland School Road /
Stevens Oaks Drive intersection, Rock Quarry Road and Auburn Knightdale Road
intersection, and the Poole Road and Hodge Road intersection, with AM and PM peak hour
LOS improving to LOS C or better. No intersections, including the new ramp terminal
intersections added in the Build PA scenario, are expected to operate at an overall LOS E or
LOS F in the 2016 Base Year.
At the White Oak Road and Raynor Road intersection, the southbound exclusive left and
shared through/right-turn approach will operate at LOS F under stop control in both AM and
PM peak hours. Per the HCS Peak Hour Signal Warrants Analysis module results, this
intersection meets the MUTCD peak hour signal warrant threshold in both 2016 and 2040
Build PA scenarios, and therefore was analyzed as a signalized intersection in both scenarios.
Consideration should be given to operating this intersection as unsignalized and monitor it for
future signalization. With the signalization, this intersection is expected to operate at LOS B
during both peaks in the 2016 Build PA scenario.
The HCS Peak Hour Signal Warrants Analysis reports are included in Appendix F. Summary
figures showing traffic volumes and overall intersection LOS for the 2016 No-Build (Existing)
scenario can be found in Figures 3.1 to 3.5. Figures 5.1 to 5.9 show the traffic volumes,
intersection traffic control, freeway segment identification numbers and LOS for the study area
intersections in the 2016 Base Year Build PA scenario. A 2016 Base Year Build PA Laneage
figure is not provided in this report; however, the summary figures provided for the 2040 Design
Year Build PA scenario shows where additional 2040 MTP laneage was added to the 2016 Base
Year Build laneage.
6.2. 2040 Design Year Analysis
As mentioned in Section 4, a 2040 Design Year No-Build scenario was not included in this
analysis. A comparison of 2040 Design Year No-Build and Build traffic conditions using the
Triangle Regional Model (TRM) as a tool will be included in the Complete 540 Quantitative Indirect
and Cumulative Effects (ICE) documentation.
This section presents future anticipated roadway network changes and capacity analysis results
for the 2040 Design Year Build PA scenario in the AM and PM peak hours for the intersections
within the Complete 540 project study area.
6.2.1. 2040 Build PA Scenario Results
Of the 36 study area intersections analyzed at interchange ramp terminals or adjacent Y-lines,
four (4) intersections are projected to experience operational deficiencies, as shown in Table
14.

NCDOT STIP R-2721, R-2828 & R-2829
Complete 540 - Trianqle Expressway Southeast Extension
Detailed Study Alternatives - Traffic Analysis Technical Memorandum
As per the 2040 MTP, NC 55 Bypass will be widened to a six-lane facility by the year 2030.
Three (3) of the four (4) intersections projected to experience operational deficiencies are
along NC 55 Bypass, two (2) of which are the ramp terminal intersections. The NC 55 Bypass
and NC 540 westbound ramps intersection is expected to operate at LOS F in the AM peak
hour. The partial signal at NC 55 Bypass and NC 540 eastbound ramps intersection is
expected to operate at LOS F in the AM and LOS E in the PM peak hour. This is due to the
high vehicular volume and limited capacity along NC 55 Bypass.
The intersection of realigned Donny Brook Road/Chandler Ridge Circle/Wake Tech Drive and
US 401 is expected to operate at LOS E in the AM and LOS C in the PM. The addition of the
eastbound Donny Brook Road traffic to the eastbound Chandler Ridge Circle traffic in the
Build PA scenario resulted in increased delay at this intersection. All other intersections are
expected to operate at an overall LOS D or better in the 2040 Design Year.
Figures 6.1 to 6.9 show the traffic volumes, intersection traffic control, freeway segment
identification numbers and LOS for the study area intersections in the 2040 Design Year Build
PA scenario. The 2040 Design Year Build PA laneage and future 2040 MTP laneage
assumptions are shown in Figures 7.1 to 7.9.

Detailed Study Alternatives - Traffic Analysis Technical Memorandum
7. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Complete 540 traffic capacity analysis was completed to evaluate 2016 Base Year No-Build
and Build, and 2040 Design Year Build peak hour traffic operations for the Complete 540
Preferred Alternative and surrounding freeway facilities and nearby intersections within the traffic
analysis study area. The recommended freeway, arterial, interchange and intersection
geometrics and intersection control for the Complete 540 PA are presented in Figures 7.1 to 7.9.
Recommended and analyzed geometrics for the PA are included in the detailed capacity analysis
outputs from HCS Freeway Facilities and Synchro/SimTraffic in Appendices E and F,
respectively.
Based on the 2016 Base Year capacity analysis, all the No-Build and Build PA freeway and
intersection facilities are projected to operate at acceptable LOS D or better.
Based on the 2040 Design Year capacity analysis, the following conclusions and
recommendations are presented for study area facilities and intersections:
Complete 540 Preferred Alternative Corridor
All Complete 540 PA freeway segments and interchange design configurations are projected to
operate at LOS D or better in the 2040 Design Year, based on the current functional designs for
Complete 540 as a six-lane, toll facility, as shown in Table 15.
Of the 36 study area intersections analyzed at interchange ramp terminals or adjacent Y-lines,
only 4 intersections are projected to experience operational deficiencies as shown in Table 16.
Three (3) of the four (4) intersections potentially experiencing operational deficiencies are the two
interchange ramp terminal intersections along NC 55 Bypass. This is due to the high vehicular
volume and limited capacity along NC 55 Bypass. The intersection of realigned Donny Brook
Road/Chandler Ridge Circle/Wake Tech Drive and US 401 is expected to operate at LOS E in
the AM and LOS C in the PM. Reasonably feasible laneage improvements were considered and
implemented at these four (4) intersection locations as part of the Complete 540 project.
NC 540 (Trianqle Expresswav) Corridor
Based on the 2040 Design Year Build PA analysis results, two basic segments (OHSARI B1-D2
& D2-B3) between NC 55 Bypass and Veridea Parkway (formerly Old Holly Springs-Apex Road)
in the eastbound PM peak experience projected operational deficiencies. This is mainly due to
the limited capacity between the eastbound off-ramp and on-ramps at Old Holly Springs-Apex
Road. All the westbound segments are expected to operate at LOS D or better.
I-540 Corridor
The existing section of I-540 from I-495 / US 64 / US 264 to US 64 Business is projected to operate
at acceptable LOS D or better with construction of Complete 540 and I-540 planned widening to
an 8-lane facility as per 2040 MTP.
I-40 Corridor
Based on the 2040 Design Year Build PA analysis results, the existing sections of I-40 are
projected to operate at acceptable LOS C or better, with construction of Complete 540 and I-40
planned widening to a 10-lane facility with eight (8) general purpose lanes and two (2) managed
lanes as per the 2040 MTP. The PA proposes a five-leg system interchange with I-40 and US 70
and provides acceptable interchange spacing between US 70 and NC 42. The potential impacts

Detailed Study Alternatives - Traffic Analysis Technical Memorandum
of Complete 540 on I-40, US 70, US 70 Business and the system interchange operations will be
re-evaluated to complete an interstate access report.
US 70 Corridor
The existing section of US 70 from I-40 to NC 42 is projected to operate at acceptable LOS D or
better with construction of Complete 540 in 2040 Design Year.
I-495 / US 64 / US 264 Corridor
Capacity analysis results indicate that I-495 / US 64 / US 264 is operating near or over capacity
with operational deficiencies in the 2040 Design Year Build AM and PM peak hours. In the 2040
Design Year Build PA scenario, I-495 / US 64 / US 264 from Hodge Road to Smithfield Road is
projected to operate at LOS E or F for 4 of 13 eastbound segments and 3 of 13 westbound
segments as a six-lane freeway facility. Construction of Complete 540 proposes modifying the
existing directional system interchange with I-495 / US 64 / US 264 and I-540 by connecting the
forth leg and constructing a flyover and a loop ramp. The system interchange was planned,
designed and constructed to accommodate the future completion and connection of the 540 loop.
This interchange modification would add one eastbound and one westbound freeway merge on
I-495 / US 64 / US 264. The potential impacts of Complete 540 on I-495 / US 64 / US 264, I-540
and the system interchange operations will be re-evaluated to complete an interstate access
report.
Ramp Demand-to-Capacitv Ratios
Based on the analysis, all the ramps at the Complete 540 at I-40/US 70 Bypass system
interchange are projected to operate with demand to capacity (d/C) ratios less than 1 in both the
AM and PM peak hours. At the Complete 540, I-540 and I-495 / US 64 / US 264 system
interchange, the ramps from westbound I-495 / US 64 / US 264 to northbound I-540 in the AM
peak and the loop ramp from southbound I-540 to eastbound I-495 / US 64 / US 264 in the PM
peak hour are projected to operate at d/C ratio greater than (>) 1. To operate at d/C ratio less
than (<) 1, the westbound I-495 / US 64 / US 264 to northbound I-540 would require two
continuous lanes to merge with the eastbound ramp and on to I-540. The loop ramp from
southbound I-540 to eastbound I-495 / US 64 / US 264 (Location # 10) would require two lanes
to operate at d/C ratio less than (<) 1. The ramps from eastbound and westbound I-495 / US 64
/ US 264 to northbound I-540 in the AM peak, from eastbound I-495 / US 64 / US 264 to
northbound I-540 in the PM peak and from southbound I-540 to westbound I-495 / US 64 / US
264 in the AM peak hour are nearing capacity (d/C ratio > 0.85). If the demand for any of these
ramps nearing capacity exceed the estimated demand in 2040, an additional lane may be
necessary to operate at d/C ratio less than (<) 1. Where ramps volumes are projected to be near
or exceed capacity, the feasibility of providing two lanes should be considered during the project
development process.
