After a project is programmed, WSDOT is tasked with confirming the project scope and defining the structural team’s level of involvement in design and construction. If a consultant is not used, all bridge design work will be performed by the Bridge and Structures Office. If a consultant is used, the WSDOT Region and Bridge and Structures Office will determine the level of involvement and responsibility for the design. Agreements defining the level of involvement and responsibility will be developed and executed between the appropriate Regional office responsible for project development and the Bridge and Structures Office and the appropriate project delivery process will be implemented. More information on this process and the desired outcomes is available on the Bridge and Structures Office’s homepage at: 141.01 General 141.02 Procedures ## 141.01 General This chapter presents the project development process used by Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), the Regions and the Bridge and Structures Office together, to determine the roles and responsibilities for projects with structures during the project development phase of a project. This chapter complements the Project Management On-Line Guide which is located at: Process.htm#PMOG See Division 11
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
chapters and the Bridge Design Manual for design procedures. The primary objective of this process is to provide a consistent means of selecting a bridge design team to perform all or part of the structural design work, whether it be a consultant or the WSDOT Bridge and Structures Office. If the Local Agency will be requesting any services from WSDOT, the Local Agency will contact WSDOT’s Local Program Engineer. The Local Program Engineer will help define the level of WSDOT’s involvement in design and construction.

Value Engineering is sometimes referred to as Value Analysis (VA) or Value Management (VM). project The portion of a transportation facility that WSDOT proposes to construct, reconstruct, or improve, as described in the State Highway System Plan or applicable environmental documents. A project may consist of several contracts or phases over several years that are studied together as one project . ## 315.04 Procedure The VE process uses the Eight-Phase
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
Job Plan in Figure 315-1. Only the phases 1 and 7 are discussed in this chapter. A detailed discussion of phases 2 through 6 can be found in the VE training manual entitled Introduction To Value Engineering Principles and Practices . (1) Selection Phase (a) Project Selection Projects for VE studies may be selected from any of the categories identified in the Highway Construction Program, including Preservation or Improvement projects, depending on the size and/or complexity of the project. In addition to the cost, other issues adding to the complexity of the project design are considered in the selection process. These complexities include: critical constraints, difficult technical issues, expensive solutions, external influences, and complicated functional requirements. 315.01 General 315.02 References 315.03 Definitions 315.04 Procedure 315.05 Documentation ## 315.01 General Value Engineering is a systematic process designed to focus on the major issues of a complex project or process. It uses a multi-disciplined team to develop recommendations for the important decisions that must be made. The primary objective of a Value Engineering study is Value Improvement. For projects, the value improvements might be improvements in scope definition, functional design, constructibility, coordination (both internal and external), or the schedule for project development. Other possible value improvements are reduced environmental impact, reduced public (traffic) inconvenience, or reduced project cost. The Value Engineering process incorporates, to the extent possible, the values of the design engineer, construction engineer, maintenance engineer, contractor, state and federal approval agencies, local agencies, other stakeholders, and the public. Important design decisions are formulated from the recommendations of the Value Engineering team. ## 315.02 References CFR 23 Part 627 Value Engineering Value Engineering for Highways , Study Workbook, U.

Value Engineering Design Manual M 22-01 Page 315-2 May 2006 A VE study is required for any federally funded NHS project with an estimated cost of $25 million or more (CFR 23 Part 627). Other types of projects that usually provide the highest potential for value improvement have a preliminary estimate exceeding $ 5 million and include one or more of the following: • Projects with alternative solutions that vary the scope and cost • New alignment or bypass sections • Capacity improvements that widen an existing highway • Major structures • Interchanges on multilane facilities • Projects with extensive or expensive environmental or geotechnical requirements • Materials that are difficult to acquire or require special efforts • Inferior materials sources • Major reconstruction • Projects requiring major traffic control • Projects with multiple stages (b) Statewide VE Study Plan On a biennial basis, the state VE manager coordinates with the region VE coordinators to prepare the T wo-Year VE Study Plan with specific projects scheduled by quarter. The VE Study Plan is the basis for determining the projected VE program needs, including team members, team leaders, and training. The Statewide VE Study Plan is a working document and close coordination is necessary between HQ and the regions to keep it current. The regional VE coordinator: • Identifies potential projects for VE studies from the Project Summaries and the available planning documents for future work. • Makes recommendations for the VE study timing. • Presents a list of the identified projects to regional management to prioritize into a regional Two-Year VE Study Plan. (VE studies other than projects are also included in the plan.) The State Design Engineer: • Reviews the regional Two-Year VE Study Plan regarding the content and schedule of the plan. The state VE Manager: • Incorporates
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
the regional Two-Year VE Study Plans and the HQ Study Plans to create the Statewide VE Study Plan. (c) VE Study Timing Selecting the project at the appropriate stage of development (the timing of the study) is very important to the success of the VE program. Value can be added by performing a VE study any time during project development; however, the WSDOT VE program identifies three windows of opportunity for performing a VE study. 1. Problem Definition Stage As soon as preliminary engineering information is available and the specific deficiencies or “drivers” are identified, the project scope and preliminary cost are under consideration. This is the best time to consider the various alternatives or design solutions and there is the highest potential that the related recommendations of the VE team can be implemented. At the conclusion of the VE study, the project scope, preliminary cost, and major design decisions can be based on the recommendations. When conducting a study in the problem definition stage, the VE study focuses on issues affecting project “drivers.” This stage often provides an opportunity for building consensus with stakeholders. 2. Conceptual Design Stage At the conceptual design stage, the project scope and preliminary cost have already been established and the major design decisions have been made. Some PS&E activities might have begun and coordination has been initiated with the various service units that will be involved with the design. At this stage, the established project scope, preliminary cost, and schedule will define the limits of the VE study. There is still opportunity for a VE study to focus on the technical issues for each of the specific design elements. Design Manual M 22-01 Value Engineering May 2006 Page 315-3 3. 30 % Development Stage At the 30% stage, most of the important project decisions
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
have been made and the opportunity to affect the project design is limited. The VE study focuses on constructibility, construction sequencing, staging, traffic control elements, and any significant design issues that have been identified during design development. (d) Study Preparation To initiate a VE study, the project manager submits a Request for Value Engineering Study form (shown in Figure 315-2) to the region VE coordinator at least one month before the proposed study date. The regional VE coordinator then works with the state VE Manager to determine the team leader and team members. The design team prepares a study package that includes project information for each of the team members. A list of potential items is shown in Figure 315-3. The region provides a facility and the equipment for the study (Figure 315-3). (e) Team Leader The quality of the VE study is dependent on the skills of the VE team leader. This individual guides the team efforts and is responsible for its actions during the study. The best VE team leader is knowledgeable and proficient in transportation design and construction, and in the VE study process for transportation projects. For best results, the team leader should be certified by the Society of American Value Engineers (SAVE) as a Certified Value Specialist (CVS) or as a Value Methodology Practitioner (VMP). Team leadership can be supplied from within the region or from other regions, HQ , consultants, or other qualified leaders outside the department. The state VE Manager coordinates with the regional VE coordinator to select the team leader. A statewide pool of qualified team leaders is maintained by the state VE Manager. (f) Team Members The VE team is usually composed of five to eight persons with diverse backgrounds that are relevant to the specific study. The team members may
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
be selected from the regions, HQ , other state and federal agencies, local agencies, and the private sector. The team members are selected on the basis of the kinds of expertise needed to address the major functional areas and critical high-cost issues of the study. All team members must be committed to the time required for the study. For best results, the team members have had VE training before participating in a VE study. (g) VE Study Requirements The time required to conduct a VE study varies with the complexity and size of the project, but typically ranges from three to five days. The VE study Final Report and Workbook include a narrative description of project input information, background and history, constraints and drivers, VE team focus areas, and a discussion of the team speculation, evaluation, and recommendations. All of the team’s evaluation documentation (including sketches, calculations, analyses, and rationale for recommendations) is included in the Workbook as part of the Final Report. Include a copy of the Final Report and Workbook in the Project File. The number of copies of the Final Report and Workbook is specified by the project manager. Value Engineering Design Manual M 22-01 Page 315-4 May 2006 (2) Implementation Phase The VE team’s recommendations are included in the Final Report and Workbook. The project manager reviews and evaluates the recommendations and prepares a VE Decision Document. This document has a specific response for each of the VE team recommendations and a summary statement containing the managers’ decisions and schedule for implementation regarding further project development. The VE Decision Document also includes estimated costs or savings of the recommendations, as well as the estimated cost to implement the recommendations.

A project file is completed for all projects and is retained by the region office responsible for the project. Responsibility for the project will shift from one office to another during the life of a project. The project file follows the project, as the project responsibility shifts from office to office. Portions of the project file that are not designated as components of the Design Documentation Package may be purged when retention of the construction records is no longer necessary. The Design Documentation Package is a part of the project file. It documents and justifies design decisions and the design process followed. The Design Documentation Package is retained in a permanent, retrievable file for a period of 75 years, in accordance with WSDOT records
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
retention policy. For operational changes and developer projects, design documentation is required and is retained by the region office responsible for the project, in accordance with WSDOT records retention policy. All participants in the design process must provide the appropriate documentation for their decisions. # Design Documentation, Chapter 330 Approval, and Process Review Design Documentation, Approval, and Process Review Design Manual M 22-01 Page 330-2 May 2006 Design Concurrence An incremental Design Approval by the designated representative of the approving organization shown in Figures 330-2a and 330-2b. The Project Summary documents must be submitted to the designated approval authority before Design Concurrence can be granted. The primary purpose of Design Concurrence is for work order authorization to establish funding for preliminary engineering. DE A design exception. Preauthorization to omit correction of an existing design element for various types of projects, as designated in the design matrices. See Chapter 325. A DE designation indicates that the design element is normally outside the scope of the Project Type. See Figure 330-1. design variance A recorded decision to differ from the design level specified in the Design Manual , such as an Evaluate Upgrade (EU) not upgraded, a DE, or a deviation. EUs leading to an upgrade are documented but are not considered to be variances. A project or corridor analysis may also constitute a design variance if that analysis leads to a decision to use a design level or design classification that differs from what the Design Manual specifies for the project type. Design Variance Inventory (DVI) A list of design elements that will not be improved in accordance with the Design Manual criteria designated for the project. Design Variance Inventory System (DVIS) A database application developed to generate the DVI form. The DVIS also provides query functions providing designers an opportunity
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
to search for previously granted variances. The DVIS application can be accessed at: deviation A documented decision granting approval at project specific locations to differ from the design level specified in the Design Manual .

A decision making process, requiring evaluation and documentation of whether or not to correct an existing design element as designated in the design matrices. See Figure 330-1. FHWA Federal Highway Administration HQ The Washington State Department of Transportation headquarters organization Project Control Form A form used to document and approve revisions to project scope, schedule, or budget, from a previously approved Project Definition. There are two versions of the Project Control Form. One version of the form is specifically for projects included in the Nickel Funding Package enacted by the 2003 legislature. The other version of the form is for projects that are not included in the Nickel Funding Package. The form is available at: project file A file containing all documentation and data for all activities related to a project. See 330.01 and 330.04. Design Documentation Package (DDP) The portion of the project file, including required project approvals, that will be retained long-term, in accordance with the WSDOT document retention policies. Depending on the scope of the project, it contains the Project Summary and some or all of the other documents discussed in this chapter plus technical reports, calculations (quantity calculations are part of the project file, but are not designated as components of the DDP), estimates, justifications for
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
decisions made, and any applicable documents listed in the Design Documentation Check List on the web. Design Manual M 22-01 Design Documentation, Approval, and Process Review May 2006 Page 330-3 See 330.04(2). The Design Documentation Package explains how and why the design was chosen, and documents approvals. See 330.01. Project Summary A set of electronic documents consisting of the Environmental Review Summary (ERS), Design Decisions Summary (DDS), and Project Definition (PD). The Project Summary is part of the design documentation required to obtain Design Concurrence and ultimately is part of the design documentation required for Design Approval. See 330.06. Environmental Review Summary (ERS) An electronic document that records the environmental requirements and considerations for a specific project. Design Decisions Summary (DDS) An electronic document that records major design decisions regarding roadway geometrics, roadway and roadside features, and other issues that influence the project scope and budget. Project Definition (PD) An electronic document that records the purpose and need of the project, along with program level and design constraints. scoping phase The first phase of project development for a specific project. It follows identification of the need for a project and precedes detailed project design. This is the process of identifying the work to be done and developing a cost estimate for completing the design and construction. The Project Summary, engineering and construction estimates, and several technical reports (such as geotechnical, surfacing, bridge condition, etc.) are developed during this phase. ## 330.04 Design Documentation (1) Purpose Design documentation is prepared to record the evaluations by the various disciplines that result in design recommendations. Design assumptions and decisions made prior to and during the scoping phase are included. Changes that occur throughout project development are documented. Justifications and approvals, if required, are also included. The Design Documentation Package identifies the purpose and
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
need of the project and documents how the project addresses the purpose and need. The required content of the Design Documentation Package is identified in the Design Documentation Check List at: (2) Design Documents The Design Documentation Package portion of the project file preserves the decision documents generated during the design process. In each package, a summary (list) of the documents is recommended. The design documents commonly included in the project file and Design Documentation Package for all but the simplest projects are listed in Figure 330-5. For project-specific components, provide documentation in the project file and Design Documentation Package as detailed in the Design Documentation Check List at: Documentation is not required for components not related to the project. The Design Variance Inventory is required for all projects on NHS highways having design variances and is recommended for all projects having design variances. This form lists all evaluate upgrades (EU) not upgraded to the applicable design level, design exceptions (DE), and deviations as indicated by the design matrices. Also, record variances resulting from a project or corridor analysis in the DVI. Use the Design Variance Inventory System (DVIS) database application to record and manage design variances. The DVIS is available at: The Project Definition (PD) and Environmental Review Summary (ERS) are required for most projects. Exceptions will be identified by the Project Control and Reporting office. Design Documentation, Approval, and Process Review Design Manual M 22-01 Page 330-4 May 2006 The Design Decisions Summary (DDS) is not required for the following project types unless they involve reconstructing the lanes, shoulders, or fill slopes. Since these and some other project types are not included in the design matrices, evaluate them with respect to modified design level (M) for non-NHS routes and full design level (F) for NHS
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
routes. Include, in the evaluation, only those design elements specifically impacted by the project. Although the following list illustrates some of the project types that do not require a DDS, the list is not intended to be a complete accounting of all such projects. Consult with the Project Control and Reporting office for projects not included in the list. • Bridge painting • Crushing and stockpiling • Pit site reclamation • Lane marker replacement • Guide post replacement • Signal rephasing • Signal upgrade • Seismic retrofit • Bridge joint repair • Navigation light replacement • Signing upgrade • Illumination upgrade • Rumble strips • Electrical upgrades • Major drainage • Bridge scour • Fish passage • Other projects as approved by the HQ Design Office (3) Certification of Documents by Licensed Professionals All original technical documents must bear the certification of the responsible licensee. See Executive Order E 1010.00. (4) Design Exception, Evaluate Upgrade, and Deviation Documentation See Figure 330-1 for design matrices documentation requirements. In special cases, projects may need to address design elements, which are shown as blank cells in a design matrix. These special cases must be coordinated with the appropriate Assistant State Design Engineer, and the HQ Project Control and Reporting office. When this is necessary, document the reasons for inclusion of that work in your project. When the design matrices specify a DE for a design element, the DE documentation must specify the matrix and row, the design element, and the limits of the exception. When a Design Variance Inventory is required for the project, the DE locations must be recorded in the inventory. All EU decisions must be documented. The EU process determines if an item of work will or will not be done, through analysis of factors such as benefit/cost, route continuity,
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
accident reduction potential, environmental impact, and economic development. Documentation requirements for an EU decision are similar to, but less demanding than, documentation requirements for a deviation. The cost of the improvement must always be considered when making EU decisions. EU examples on the Internet can serve as models for development of EU documentation. The appropriate approval authority for EUs is designated in Figures 330-2a and 330-2b. Deviation requests are stand-alone documents requiring enough information and project description for an approving authority to make an informed decision of approval or denial. Documentation of a deviation must contain justification and must be approved at the appropriate administrative level as shown in Figures 330-2a and 330-2b. Submit the request as early as possible because approved deviations are needed prior to Design Approval or Intersection/Interchange Plan approval. Design Manual M 22-01 Design Documentation, Approval, and Process Review May 2006 Page 330-5 When applying for deviation approval, it is necessary to provide two explanations. The first identifies the design element and explains why the design level specified in the design matrices was not or cannot be used. The second provides the justification for the design that is proposed. Justification for a deviation must be supported by at least two of the following: • Accident history and accident analysis • Benefit/cost analysis • Engineering judgment • Environmental issues • Route continuity An element of engineering judgment might be a reference to another publication, with an explanation of why that reference is applicable to the situation encountered on the project. If the element you wish to deviate from, meets the AASHTO Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, but not the Design Manual criteria, the only documentation and justification required to support the deviation request is to; • Identify the design element • Explain why the
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
design level specified in the design matrices was not used • Explain which reference to the AASHTO Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets was used (including the publication date, chapter, and page number of the policy) Approval is at the appropriate administrative level, as shown in Figures 330-2a and 330-2b. Reference a corridor or project analysis as supporting justification for design deviations dealing with route continuity issues. See Chapter 325.

Design Matrix Documentation Requirements > Figure 330-1 Design Documentation, Approval, and Process Review Design Manual M 22-01 Page 330-6 May 2006 Once a deviation is approved, it applies to that project only. When a new project is programmed at the same location, the subject design element must be reevaluated and either (1) the subject design element is rebuilt to conform with the applicable design level, or (2) a new deviation is developed, approved, and preserved in the Design Documentation Package for the new project. Check the Design Variance Inventory System for help in identifying previously granted
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
deviations. A change in a design level resulting from an approved Route Development Plan or corridor or project analysis, as specified in design matrix notes, is documented similar to an EU. Design elements that do not comply with the design level specified in an approved corridor or project analysis are documented as deviations. To prepare a deviation request, or to document an EU decision, use the list in Figure 330-6 as a general guide for the sequence of the content. The list is not all-inclusive of potential content and it might include suggested topics that do not apply to a particular project. Design deviation examples are on the Internet at: ## 330.05 Project Development In general, the region initiates the development of a specific project by preparing the Project Summary. Some project types may be initiated by other WSDOT groups such as the Bridge Office or the Traffic Office, rather than the region. The project coordination with other disciplines (such as Real Estate Services, Utilities, and Environmental) is started in the project scoping phase and continues throughout the project’s development. The region coordinates with state and federal resource agencies and local governments to provide and obtain information to assist in developing the project. The project is developed in accordance with all applicable Directives, Instructional Letters, Supplements, and manuals as listed in D 00-00; the Master Plan for Limited Access Highways; Washington State Highway System Plan; Route Development Plan ; Washington Federal-Aid Stewardship Agreement as implemented in the design matrices (Chapter 325); and the Project Summary. The region develops and maintains documentation for each project. The project file includes documentation of project work including planning, scoping, public involvement, environmental action, design decisions, right of way acquisition, PS&E development, project advertisement, and construction. Refer to the Plans Preparation Manual for PS&E
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
documentation. All projects involving FHWA action require NEPA clearance. Environmental action is determined through the Environmental Classification Summary (ECS) form. The environmental approval levels are shown in Figures 330-3a and 3b. Upon receipt of the ECS approval, for projects requiring an EA or EIS under NEPA, the region proceeds with environmental documentation, including instituting public involvement methods that are appropriate to the magnitude and type of the project. (See Chapter 210.) The Assistant State Design Engineers work with the regions on project development and conduct process reviews on projects as described in 330.09. ## 330.06 Scoping Phase Development of the project scope is the initial phase of project development for a specific project. This effort is prompted by the Washington State Highway System Plan . The project scoping phase consists of determining a project description, schedule, and cost estimate. The intent is to make design decisions early in the project development process that focus the scope of the project. During the project scoping phase, the Project Summary documents are produced. Project Summary provides information on the results of the scoping phase; links the project to the Washington State Highway System Plan and the Capital Improvement and Preservation Program (CIPP); and documents the design decisions, the environmental classification, and agency coordination. The Project Summary is developed and Design Concurrence is granted before the project is funded for design and construction. The Project Summary consists of ERS, DDS, and PD documents, which are Design Manual M 22-01 Design Documentation, Approval, and Process Review May 2006 Page 330-7 electronic forms. Specific on-line instructions for filling them out are contained in the Project Summary database. Environmental Review Summary (ERS) lists the environmental permits and approvals that will be required, environmental classifications, and environmental considerations. This form lists requirements by environmental and permitting agencies. If
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
there is a change in the Project Summary, the information in the ERS must be reviewed and revised to match the new Project Summary. The ERS is prepared during the scoping phase and is approved by the region. Design Decisions Summary (DDS) states the design matrix used to develop the project, the roadway geometrics, design deviations, evaluate upgrades (EUs), other roadway features, and any design decisions made during scoping of a project. The information contained in this form is compiled from various databases of departmental information, field data collection, and evaluations made in development of the Project Definition and the ERS. Design decisions may be revised throughout the project development process based on continuing evaluations. The DDS is approved by the appropriate Assistant State Design Engineer for new construction and reconstruction projects on the Interstate System before submittal to FHWA. See 330.07. The regional design authority approves the DDS for all other types of projects. To approve the Design Decisions Summary, the region must be comfortable that there will be no significant change in the Project Definition or estimated cost. If, however, there is a change to the PD or a significant change in the cost estimate, the DDS is to be revised or supplemented and reapproved. Significant cost changes require a Project Control Form to be submitted and approved by the appropriate designee. Project Definition (PD) identifies the various disciplines and design elements that will be encountered in project development. The PD states the needs, the purpose of the project, program categories, and the recommendations for project phasing.This information determines the level of documentation and evaluation that is needed for Design Approval. The PD is completed early in the scoping phase to provide a basis for full development of the ERS, DDS, schedule, and estimate. If circumstances necessitate a
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
change to an approved PD, process a Project Control Form for approval by the appropriate designee, revise the original PD form, and obtain approval of the revisions. ## 330.07 FHWA Approval For all NHS projects, the level of FHWA oversight varies according to the type of project, the agency doing the work, and the funding source as shown in Figures 330-2a and 330-2b. Oversight and funding do not affect the level of design documentation required for a project. An FHWA determination of engineering and operational acceptance is required for any new or revised access point (including interchanges, temporary access breaks, and locked gate access points) on the Interstate System, regardless of funding. (See Chapter 1425.) Documents for projects requiring FHWA review and Design Approval are submitted through the Headquarters (HQ) Design Office. Include applicable project documents as specified in Figure 330-5. ## 330.08 Design Approval When the Project Summary documents are complete, and the region is confident that the proposed design adequately addresses the purpose and need for the project, a Design Concurrence may be entered into the Project File. (See Design Concurrence definition for purpose.) When the Design Documentation Package is complete, Design Approval is granted by the approval authority designated in Figures 330-2a and 330-2b. The Design Approval becomes part of the DDP. See 330.04 and Figure 330-5 for design documents that may lead to Design Approval. Figures 330-2a through 330-4 present approval levels for project design and PS&E documents. Design Documentation, Approval, and Process Review Design Manual M 22-01 Page 330-8 May 2006 The following items must be approved prior to Design Approval: • Required Environmental Documents • Project Summary Documents • Design Variance Inventory as required • Cost Estimate At the time of Design Approval, the Design Documentation Package addresses all guidance currently implemented in the
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
Design Manual .If a project is delayed but is advertised within three years of the Design Approval, discuss Design Manual revisions with your Project Development Engineer, who will discuss the revisions with the appropriate Assistant State Design Engineer (ASDE) to determine if there is a need to redesign any portion of the project. If the ASDE determines that a redesign is not necessary, the ASDE will confirm with an e-mail. Place a copy of the e-mail confirmation in the Design Documentation Package to document that the current design criteria was evaluated and the ASDE agreed that a redesign is unnecessary. Address new design policy for projects to be advertised more than three years after Design Approval, redesign as appropriate, and update the Design Documentation Package and the Design Approval to reflect the revisions. For an overview of design policy changes, consult the Detailed Chronology of Design Policy Changes Affecting Shelved Projects at: designpolicy.htm ## 330.09 Process Review The process review is done to provide reasonable assurance that projects are prepared in compliance with established policies and procedures and that adequate records exist to show compliance with state and federal requirements. Process reviews are conducted by WSDOT, FHWA, or a combination of both. The design and PS&E process review is performed in each region at least once each year by the HQ Project Development Branch. The documents used in the review process are: the Design Documentation Check List, PS&E Review Check List, and PS&E Review Summary. These are generic forms used for all project reviews. Copies of these working documents are available for reference when assembling project documentation. HQ Design Office, Project Development Branch maintains current copies on the Internet at: Each project selected for review is examined completely and systematically beginning with the scoping phase (including planning documents)
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
and continuing through contract plans and (when available) construction records and change orders. Projects are normally selected after contract award. For projects having major traffic design elements, the Maintenance and Operations Programs’ Traffic Operations personnel are involved in the review. The WSDOT process reviews may be held in conjunction with FHWA process reviews. The HQ Project Development Branch schedules the process review and coordinates it with the region and FHWA. A process review follows this general agenda: 1. Review team meets with regional personnel to discuss the object of the review. 2. Review team reviews the design and PS&E documents, and the construction documents and change orders if available, using the check lists. 3. Review team meets with regional personnel to ask questions and clarify issues of concern. 4. Review team meets with regional personnel to discuss findings. 5. Review team submits a draft report to the region for comments and input. 6. If the review of a project shows a serious discrepancy, the regional design authority is asked to report the steps that will be taken to correct the deficiency. 7. The process review summary forms are completed. 8. The summary forms and check lists are evaluated by the State Design Engineer. 9. The findings and recommendations of the State Design Engineer are forwarded to the regional design authority, for action and/or information, within 30 days of the review.

The basic design level includes restoring the roadway for safe operations and, where needed, may include safety enhancement. Flexibility is provided so that other conditions can be enhanced while remaining within the scope of pavement preservation work. The required safety items of work listed below may be programmed under a separate project from the paving project as long as there is some benefit to the delay, the safety features remain functional, and the work is completed within two years after the completion of the paving project. If some of the required items are separated from the paving project, maintain a separate documentation file that addresses the separation of work during the two‑year time period. For bituminous surface treatment projects on non‑NHS routes, the separation of required safety items is not limited to the two years stated above. The safety work can be accomplished separately using a corridor‑by‑corridor approach. ## 410.02 Required Basic
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
Safety Items of Work For basic design level (B), the following items of work are required: • Install and replace delineation in accordance with Chapter 830 • Install and replace rumble strips in accordance with the matrices and Chapter 700 • Adjust existing features that are affected by resurfacing, such as monuments, catch basins, and access covers • Adjust guardrail height in accordance with Chapter 710 • Replace deficient signing, as needed, using current standards. This does not include replacement of sign bridges or cantilever supports • Relocate, protect, or provide breakaway features for sign supports, luminaires, and WSDOT electrical service poles inside the design clear zone • Restore sight distance at public road intersections and the inside of curves through low cost measures if they are available such as removal or relocation of signs and other obstructions, and cutting of vegetative matter • Upgrade nonstandard bridge rail in accordance with the matrices and Chapter 710 • Upgrade barrier terminals and bridge end protection, including transitions, in accordance with Chapter 710 • Restore the cross slope to 1.5 percent when the existing cross slope is flatter than 1.5 percent and, in the engineer’s judgment, the steeper slope is needed to solve highway runoff problems in areas of intense rainfall ## 410.03 Minor Safety and Minor Preservation Work Consider the following items, where appropriate, within the limits of a pavement preservation project: • Spot safety enhancements. These are modifications to isolated roadway or roadside features that, in the engineer’s judgment, reduce potential accident frequency or severity • When recommended by the region Traffic Engineer, additional or improved channelization to address intersection related accident concerns, where sufficient pavement width and structural adequacy exist or can be obtained.

Design Manual M 22-01 Modified Design Level > May 2006 Page 430-1 # Chapter 430 Modified Design Level ## 430.02 Design Speed When applying modified design level to a project, select a design speed for use in the design process that reflects the character of the terrain and the type of highway. The desirable design speed for modified design level is given in Figure 430-1.The minimum design speed is not less than the posted speed, or the proposed posted speed. (See Chapter 440 for additional information on design speed.) Document which speed was used, include any supporting studies and data. > Route Type Posted Speed Desirable Design Speed > Freeways All 10 mph over the posted speed non-Freeways 45 mph or less Not less than the posted speed Over 45 mph 5 mph over posted speed Desirable Design Speed > Figure

430-1 When the posted speed exceeds the design speed for existing geometric features that are to remain in place (curve radius, superelevation, sight distance, or other elements that the design speed controls) one of two choices must be made: When appropriate, work with the region Traffic Office to lower the posted speed to be consistent with the existing design speeds for the geometric features on the facility. A corridor analysis can be completed in order to leave the posted speed unchanged and identify all design elements that do not meet the criteria for the existing posted speed. Identify each appropriate location for cautionary signing (including road approach sight distance) and work with the region Traffic Office to install the cautionary signing as provided for in the MUTCD (either by contract or region sign personnel). Consult with and obtain guidance from Region Project Develpment leadership prior to progressing with the corridor analysis and the design. •• 430.01 General 430.02 Design Speed 430.03 Alignment 430.04 Roadway Widths 430.05 Cross Slope 430.06 Side Slopes 430.07 Bike and Pedestrian 430.08 Bridges 430.09 Intersections 430.10 Documentation ## 430.01 General Modified design level (M) preserves and improves existing roadway geometrics, safety, and operational elements. This chapter provides the design that is unique to the modified design level. The modified design level design criteria have been developed to apply to all applicable functional classes. As a result, for the lower volumes and urban highways modified design level design criteria might exceed full level design criteria. In these cases, full level design criteria may be used. Projects developed to correct a deficiency, must address all design elements contributing to that deficiency, even when those elements meet modified design level design criteria Design elements that do not have modified design level guidance include: Lane Transitions, Chapter 620 On and

Curve design is controlled by the design speed [430.02], superelevation [430.03(4)], and stopping sight distance [430.03(3)]. Identify major modifications to horizontal alignment in the Project Summary. Total removal of pavement and reconstruction of the subgrade are examples of major modifications. (2) Vertical Alignment Vertical alignment consists of a series of profile grades connected by vertical curves. (a) Vertical curves. Stopping sight distance controls crest vertical curves. Figure 430-8 gives the minimum curve length for crest vertical curves to remain in place for modified design level stopping sight distance. See 430.03(3) for additional information on modified design level stopping sight distance. When modified design level is being applied, existing sag vertical curves are not normally addressed. When either a crest or a sag vertical curve is to be reconstructed, use full design level design criteria (see Chapters 630 and 650). (b) Profile Grades. When applying modified design level, profile grades generally are not flattened. However, corrective action may be justified for combinations of steep grades and restricted horizontal or vertical curvature. Identify major modifications to vertical alignment in the Project Summary. Total removal of pavement and reconstruction of the subgrade are examples of major modifications. When changing the profile grade, see Chapter 440 for the maximum grade for the functional class of the route. (3) Stopping Sight Distance Stopping sight distance is a controlling factor for both vertical
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
and horizontal alignment. A 2-foot object height is used for modified design level stopping sight distance evaluation. Figure 430-2 gives the minimum stopping sight distances allowed to remain in place. > Design Speed (mph) Design Stopping Sight Distance (ft) > 40 or less 155 45 200 50 250 55 305 60 360 65 425 70 495 75 570 80 645 Stopping Sight Distance, Modified Design Level > Figure 430-2 (a) Stopping Sight Distance for Horizontal Curves. For modified design level, use the existing lateral clearance to the sight obstruction and the curve radius to compare the existing condition to Figure 430-9 a. When reconstructing a horizontal curve, apply full design level criteria for sight distance. (See Chapter 650.) For Figure 430-9 a, an obstruction is any object with a height of greater than 2.75 feet above the roadway surface on the inside of a curve. Examples of possible obstructions are median barrier, guardrail, bridges, walls, cut slopes, wooded areas, and buildings. Objects between 2.75 feet and 2.00 feet above the roadway surface within the M distance might be a sight obstruction, depending on the distance from the roadway. See Figure 430-9b for guidance on determining if an object between 2.75 feet and 2.00 feet above the roadway surface is a sight obstruction. Design Manual M 22-01 Modified Design Level > May 2006 Page 430-3 (b) Stopping Sight Distance for Vertical Curves. For existing crest vertical curves use the algebraic difference in grades and the length of curve to compare the existing condition to the stopping sight distance requirements from Figure 430-2. Use the equations in Figure 430-3 or use Figure 430-8 to evaluate the existing curve. When a crest vertical curve is lengthened, the minimum sight distance is increased; however, the length of the roadway that has the minimum sight
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
distance is also increased. This results in a questionable benefit when the new sight distance is less than for full design level. Therefore, when the existing roadway is reconstructed to improve stopping sight distance, apply full design level criteria.

When the existing superelevation equals or exceeds the value from the equation, the modified design level design criteria is met. When modifying the superelevation of an existing curve where the existing pavement is to remain in place, use the equation in Figure 430-4 to determine the required superelevation.

{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
a project must not decrease the existing roadway width. Modified Design Level Design Manual M 22-01 > Page 430-4 May 2006 (1) Lane and Shoulder Width Lane and shoulder widths are shown in Figures 430-10 and 11 . Consider joint use with other modes of transportation in shoulder design. Minimum ramp lane and shoulder widths are shown on Figure 430-14. Use full design level lane and shoulder widths (See Chapter 940) for new and rebuilt ramps. (2) Turning Roadway Widths It might be necessary to widen the roadway on curves to accommodate large vehicles. The proposed roadway width for a curve shall not be less than that of the adjacent tangent sections. Widening of the total roadway width of a curve by less than 2-feet is not required for existing two-lane roadways that are to remain in place. (a) The two-lane two-way roadway width of a curve may not be less than that shown in Figure 430-12 a or, if the internal angle (delta) is less than 90 degrees, Figure 430-12b. The minimum total roadway width from Figure 430-12 a or 12b may include the shoulder. When the shoulder is included, full-depth pavement is required. (b) One-way roadway and Ramp widths on a curve are shown in Figure 430-6 for existing roadways that are to remain in place. Use full design level width (See Chapters 641 and 940) for new and rebuilt ramps. (3) Median Width Minimum median widths are given in Figure 430-10. ## 430.05 Cross Slope On all tangent sections, the normal cross slopes of the traveled way are 2 percent. If a longitudinal contiguous section of pavement is to be removed or is on a reconstructed alignment, or if a top course is to be placed over existing pavement, design the restored pavement cross slope to full
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
design level criteria (See Chapter 640). The algebraic difference in cross slopes is an operational factor during a passing maneuver on a two-lane two-way roadway. Its influence increases when increased traffic volumes decrease the number and size of available passing opportunities. A somewhat steeper cross slope may be necessary to facilitate pavement drainage in areas of intense rainfall, even though this might be less desirable from the operational point of view. In such areas, the design cross slopes may be increased to 2.5 percent with an algebraic difference of 5 percent. For existing pavements, cross slopes within a range of 1 to 3 percent may remain if there are no operational or drainage problems and — on a two-lane two-way roadway — the following conditions are met: The algebraic difference is not greater than 4 percent where the ADT is greater than 2,000. The algebraic difference is not greater than 5 percent where the ADT is 2,000 or less. The algebraic difference is not greater than 6 percent and the road is striped or signed for no passing. > Curve > Radius (ft) One-Lane (1) Two-Lane (2) > Tangent to 1,001 20 24 500 21 25 400 21 25 300 22 25 200 22 26 150 23 26 100 25 28 75 27 29 50 30 31 (1) Includes the shoulder width.

When applying modified design level to a road with bituminous surface treatment (BST), cross
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
slope correction is not required on the basis of algebraic differences alone. To maintain or restore curb height, consider lowering the existing pavement level and correcting cross slope by grinding before an asphalt overlay. The cross slope of the shoulder may be steepened to maximize curb height and minimize other related impacts. The shoulder may be up to 6 percent with a rollover between the traveled way and the shoulder of no more than 8 percent. See Chapter 640 for additional information. ## 430.06 Side Slopes (1) Fill/Ditch Slopes Foreslopes (fill slopes and ditch inslopes) and cut slopes are designed as shown in the Fill and Ditch Slope Selection Table on Figure 430-13 for modified design level main line roadway sections. After the foreslope has been determined, use the guidance in Chapter 700 to determine the need for a traffic barrier. When a crossroad or road approach has steep foreslopes, there is the possibility that an errant vehicle might become airborne. Therefore, flatten crossroad and road approach foreslopes to 6H:1V where practical and at least to 4H:1V. Provide smooth transitions between the main line foreslopes and the crossroad or road approach foreslopes. Where possible, move the crossroad or road approach drainage away from the main line. This can locate the pipe outside the design clear zone and reduce the length of pipe required. (2) Cut Slopes Existing stable backslopes (cut slopes) are to remain undisturbed unless disturbed by other work. When changes are required to a cut slope, design them as shown in the Cut Slope Selection Table on Figure 430-13. ## 430.07 Bike and Pedestrian Sidewalk ramps must be addressed for Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) compliance on projects that include hot mix asphalt (HMA) or Portland cement concrete pavement (PCCP) overlays or inlays. Evaluate existing sidewalk
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
ramps for compliance. Construct ADA compliant sidewalk ramps as required. On Interstate Pavement Rehab./Resurface projects (See Chapter 325) that include HMA or PCCP overlays, or inlays on ramps or crossroads, sidewalk ramps must be addressed for ADA compliance. Other bicycle or pedestrian elements are design exceptions on HMA or PCCP overlays or inlays on Interstate ramps or crossroads. Projects that widen the roadway, or change the traffic configuration by reducing the shoulders to add turn lanes are considered alterations of the roadway. Such alterations include a requirement to address ADA compliance for sidewalk ramps. See Chapter 1025 for guidance on pedestrian facilities. ## 430.08 Bridges Design all new and replacement bridges to full design level (See Chapter 440) unless a corridor or project analysis justifies the use of modified design level lane and shoulder widths. Evaluate bridges to remain in place using Figures 430-10 and 11 . Whenever possible, continue the roadway lane widths across the bridge and adjust the shoulder widths. Consider joint use with other modes of transportation in lane and shoulder design. See Chapters 1020, 1025, 1050, and 1060. Modified Design Level Design Manual M 22-01 > Page 430-6 May 2006 ## 430.09 Intersections Except as given below, design intersections to meet the requirements in Chapter 910. (1) Turn Radii The intersection turn radii (or right-turn corners) are controlled by the design vehicle. Figure 430-7 is a guide for determining the design vehicle for modified design level. Perform a field review to determine intersection type, types of vehicles that use the intersection, and adequacy of the existing geometrics. When the crossroad is a city street or county road, consider the requirements of the city or county when selecting a design vehicle. Design right turn corners to meet the requirements of Chapter 910 using the design vehicle selected
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
from Figure 430-7 or from the field review. (2) Angle The allowable angle between any two respective legs is between 60° and 120°. When realignment is required to meet this angle requirement, consider realigning to an angle between 75°and 105°. Intersection Type Design Vehicle Junction of Major Truck Routes WB-67 Junction of State Routes WB-40 Ramp Terminals WB-40 Other Rural SU (1) Urban Industrial SU (1) Urban Commercial P(1) Residential P(1) (1) When the intersection is on a transit or school bus route, use the BUS design vehicle.

Analysis 610.08 Traffic Data 610.09 Traffic Impact Analysis Methodologies 610.10 Traffic Analysis Software 610.11 Mitigation Measures 610.12 Traffic Impact Analysis Report ## 610.01 General It is the Washington State Department of Transportation’s (WSDOT’s) responsibility to provide for an interconnected transportation system to ensure the mobility of people and goods. In order to achieve these objectives, traffic engineers determine whether the proposed improvements will satisfy future needs by comparing the forecast directional hourly volume with the traffic-handling capacity of an improved facility. Project traffic forecasts and capacity are used to establish the number of through lanes, the length of auxiliary lanes, signal timing, right of way requirements, and other characteristics, so that the facility can operate at an acceptable level of service through the design year. This chapter provides guidance and general requirements for traffic analyses. Specific requirements for a traffic analysis depend on a variety of factors. These include: • Project proponents (federal, state, local, and private sector). • Lead agency. • Legal requirements (laws, regulations, procedures, and contractual obligations). • Purpose of the traffic analysis. Along with these factors, examine capacity and safety needs, look at project benefits and costs, determine development impacts, and identify mitigation requirements. This Design Manual does not cover capacity analysis; see the latest version of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). ## 610.02 References Laws – Federal and state laws and codes that may pertain to this chapter include: Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways , USDOT, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), National Advisory Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, including the "Washington State Modifications to the MUTCD," Chapter 468-95 Washington Administrative Code (WAC), MUTCD > htm Revised Code of Washington (RCW), Chapter 43.21C, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 Design Guidance –

The design year for new construction and reconstruction projects is given in Chapter 440. However, the design year for developer projects is often (but not always) the horizon year or build-out year. One early task for the traffic analyst is to determine the correct design year. ## 610.04 Definitions annual average daily traffic (AADT) The total volume of traffic passing a point or segment of a highway facility in both directions for one year divided by the number of days in the year. average daily traffic (ADT) The total volume during a given time period (in whole days): greater than one day and less than one year, divided by the number of days in that time period. capacity The maximum sustainable flow rate at which vehicles or persons can reasonably be expected to traverse a point or uniform segment of a lane or roadway during a specified time period under given roadway, geometric, traffic, environmental, and control conditions. Capacity is usually expressed as vehicles per hour (vph), passenger cars per hour (pcph), or persons per hour (pph). capture trips Trips that do

not enter or leave the traveled ways of a project’s boundary within a mixed-use development. design hourly volume (DHV) Computed by taking the annual average daily traffic times the K-factor. It can only be accurately determined in locations where there is a permanent traffic recording device active 365 days of the year. It correlates to the peak hour (see peak hour definition), but it is not equivalent. In some circumstances, it is necessary to use the peak hour data instead of DHV because peak hour can be collected using portable traffic recorders. directional design hour volume (DDHV) The traffic volume for the design hour in the peak direction of flow, in vehicles per hour. For example, if during the design hour, 60% of the vehicles traveled eastbound and 40% traveled westbound, then the DDHV for the eastbound direction would be the DHV x 0.60. K-factor The proportion of AADT occurring in the analysis hour is referred to as the K-factor, expressed as a decimal fraction (commonly called “K,” “K30,” or “K100”). The K30 is the thirtieth (K100 is the one-hundredth) highest peak hour divided by the annual average daily traffic. Normally, the K30 or K100 will be in the range of 0.09 to 0.10 for urban and rural areas. Average design hour factors are available on the web in the Transportation Data Office’s Annual Peak Hour Report. lead agency The public agency that has the principal responsibility for carrying out or approving a project. level of service (LOS) A qualitative measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream, based on service measures such as speed, travel time, freedom to maneuver, traffic interruptions, comfort, and convenience. Six levels of service are defined for each type of facility that has analysis procedures available. Letters designate each level, from A to F, with
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
LOS A representing the best operating conditions and LOS F the worst. Each level of service represents a range of operating conditions and the driver’s perception of those conditions. Safety is not included in the measures that establish service levels. “pass-by” trips Pass-by trips are made as intermediate stops between an origin and a primary trip destination (for example, home to work, home to shopping). Design Manual M 22-01 Traffic Analysis > May 2006 Page 610-3 peak hour The 60-minute interval that contains the largest volume of traffic during a given time period. If a traffic count covers consecutive days, the peak hour can be an average of the highest hour across all of the days. An a .m . peak is simply the highest hour from the a .m ., and the p .m . peak is the highest from the p .m . Peak hour correlates to the DHV, but is not the same. However, it is close enough on items such as intersection plans for approval to be considered equivalent. project Activities directly undertaken by government, financed by government, or requiring a permit or other approval from government. “select zone” analysis A traffic model run, where the related project trips are distributed and assigned along a populated highway network. This analysis isolates the anticipated impact on the state highway network created by the project. ## 610.05 Travel Forecasting ## (Transportation Modeling) While regional models are available in most urban areas, they may not be the best tool for reviewing developments. Most regional models are macroscopic in nature and do not do a good job of identifying intersection-level development impacts without further refinement of the model. The task of refining the model can be substantial and is not warranted in many instances. The region makes the determination whether
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
a model or a trend line analysis can be used to take into account historical growth rates and background projects. This decision would be based on numerous factors including the type, scale, and location of the development. The regional model is generally more appropriate for larger projects that generate a substantial number of new trips. The Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) clearly describes the methodology and process used in developing the forecast in support of the analysis of a proposed project. ## 610.06 Traffic Analysis The level of service (LOS) for operating state highway facilities is based upon measures of effectiveness (MOEs), per the latest version of the Highway Capacity Manual . These MOEs (see Figure 610-1) describe the measures best suited for analyzing state highway facilities, such as freeway segments, signalized intersections, on- or off-ramps, and others. Depending on the facility, WSDOT LOS thresholds are LOS C and LOS D on state highway facilities. The LOS threshold for developer projects is set differently. Refer to Chapter 4 of the Developer Services Manual . (1) Trip Generation Thresholds The following criteria are used as the starting point for determining when a TIA is needed: • When a project changes local circulation networks that impact a state highway facility involving direct access to the state highway facility; includes a nonstandard highway geometric design feature, and others. • The potential risk for a traffic incident is significantly increased due to congestion-related collisions, nonstandard sight distance considerations, increases in traffic conflict points, and others. • When a project affects state highway facilities experiencing significant delay; LOS “C” in rural areas or “D” in urban areas. Note: A traffic analysis can be as simple as providing a traffic count or as complex as a microscopic simulation. The appropriate level of analysis is determined by the
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
specifics of a project, the prevailing highway conditions, and the forecasted traffic. For developer projects, different thresholds may be used depending on local agency codes or interagency agreements (or both) between WSDOT and local agencies. For more information, refer to Chapter 4 of the Development Services Manual.

Generally, a TIA requires updating every two years. A TIA might require updating sooner in rapidly developing areas and not as often in slowly developing areas. In these cases, consultation with WSDOT is strongly recommended. ## 610.07 Scope of Traffic Impact Analysis Consultation between the lead agency, WSDOT, and those preparing the TIA is recommended before commencing work on the analysis to establish the appropriate scope. At a minimum, the TIA includes the following elements: (1) Boundaries of the Traffic Impact Analysis Boundaries are all state highway facilities impacted in accordance with the criteria in 610.06 . Traffic impacts of local streets and roads can impact intersections on state highway facilities. In these cases, include an analysis of adjacent local facilities, (driveways, intersections, and interchanges), upstream and downstream of the intersection with the state highway in the TIA. A “lesser analysis” may include obtaining traffic counts, preparing signal warrants, or a focused TIA.
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
For developer projects, the boundaries (such as the city limits) may be determined by the local agency. (2) Traffic Analysis Scenarios WSDOT is interested in the effects of plan updates and amendments, as well as the effects of specific project entitlements (including, but not limited to, site plans, conditional use permits, subdivisions, and rezoning) that have the potential to impact a state highway facility. The complexity and/or magnitude of the impacts of a project normally dictate the scenarios necessary to analyze the project. Consultation between the lead agency, WSDOT, and those preparing the TIA is recommended to determine the appropriate scenarios for the analysis and why they should be addressed. (a) When only a plan amendment or update is being sought in a TIA, the following scenarios are required: 1. Existing Conditions – Current year traffic volumes and peak hour LOS analysis of affected state highway facilities. 2. Proposed Project Only With Select Zone Analysis – Trip generation, distribution, and assignment in the year the project is anticipated to complete construction. 3. Plan Build-Out Only – Trip assignment and peak hour LOS analysis. Include current land uses and other pending plan amendments/anticipated developments. 4. Plan Build-Out Plus Proposed Project – Trip assignment and peak hour LOS analysis. Include proposed project and other pending plan amendments. Design Manual M 22-01 Traffic Analysis > May 2006 Page 610-5 (b) When a plan amendment is not proposed and a proposed project is seeking specific entitlements (such as site plans, conditional-use permits, subdivisions, rezoning, and others), the following scenarios are required to be analyzed in the TIAs: 1. Existing Conditions – Current year traffic volumes and peak hour LOS analysis of affected state highway facilities. 2. Proposed Project Only – Trip generation, distribution, and assignment in the year the project is anticipated to complete
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
construction. 3. Cumulative Conditions (Existing Conditions Plus Other Approved and Pending Projects Without Proposed Project) – Trip assignment and peak hour LOS analysis in the year the project is anticipated to complete construction. 4. Cumulative Conditions Plus Proposed Project (Existing Conditions Plus Other Approved and Pending Projects Plus Proposed Project) – Trip assignment and peak hour LOS analysis in the year the project is anticipated to complete construction. 5. Cumulative Conditions Plus Proposed Phases (Interim Years) – Trip assignment and peak hour LOS analysis in the years the project construction phases are anticipated to be completed. (c) In cases where the circulation element of the plan is not consistent with the land use element or the plan is outdated and not representative of current or future forecasted conditions, all scenarios from 610.07(2)(a) and (b) are to be utilized, with the exception of the duplication of (b) 1 and (b) 2. ## 610.08 Traffic Data Prior to any fieldwork, consultation between the lead agency, WSDOT, and those preparing the TIA is recommended to reach consensus on the data and assumptions necessary for the study. The following elements are a starting point in that consideration: (1) Trip Generation For trip generation forecasts, use the latest edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) publication, “Trip Generation.” Local trip generation rates are also acceptable if appropriate validation is provided to support them. (a) Trip Generation Rates – When the land use has a limited number of studies to support the trip generation rates or when the Coefficient of Determination (R2) is below 0.75, consultation between the lead agency, WSDOT, and those preparing the TIA is recommended. (b) Pass-by Trips – Pass-by trips are only considered for retail-oriented development. Reductions greater than 15% require consultation and acceptance by WSDOT. Include the justification for exceeding
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
a 15% reduction in the TIA. (c) Captured Trips – Captured trip reductions greater than 5% require consultation and acceptance by WSDOT. Include the justification for exceeding a 5% reduction in the TIA. (d) Transportation Demand Management (TDM) – Consultation between the lead agency and WSDOT is essential before applying trip reduction for TDM strategies. Note: Reasonable reductions to trip generation rates are considered when adjacent state highway volumes are sufficient (at least 5,000 ADT) to support reductions for the land use. (2) Traffic Counts Prior to field traffic counts, consultation between the lead agency, WSDOT, and those preparing the TIA is recommended to determine the level of detail (location, signal timing, travel speeds, turning movements, and so forth) required at each traffic count site. All state highway facilities within the boundaries of the TIA are to be considered. Common rules for counting vehicular traffic include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) Conduct vehicle counts to include at least one contiguous 24-hour period on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays during weeks not containing a holiday and in favorable weather conditions. Traffic Analysis Design Manual M 22-01 > Page 610-6 May 2006 (b) Conduct vehicle counts during the appropriate peak hours (see peak hour discussion below). (c) Consider seasonal and weekend variations in traffic where appropriate (recreational routes, tourist seasons, harvest season, and others). (3) Peak Hours To eliminate unnecessary analysis, consultation between the lead agency, WSDOT, and those preparing the TIA is recommended during the early planning stages of a project. In general, the TIA includes a morning ( a .m .) and an evening (p .m .) peak hour analysis. Other peak hours (such as 11:30 a .m . to 1:30 p .m ., weekends, and holidays) might also be required to determine the significance of the traffic
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
impacts generated by a project. (4) Accidents The following should be included in any discussion of the subject of accidents: (a) A listing of the location’s 3-year accident history. (For direct access points and/or intersections, the list covers an area 0.1 mile to either side of the main line or crossroad intersection). (b) A collision diagram illustrating the 3-year accident history at each location where the number of accidents at the location has been 15 or more in the last 3 years. (c) The predominant accident types and their locations, any accident patterns, and an assessment of and mitigation for the development’s traffic safety impacts. Also, include in the discussion the following: 1. Sight distance and any other pertinent roadway geometrics 2. Driver expectancy and accident potential (if necessary) 3. Special signing and illumination needs (if necessary) ## 610.09 Traffic Impact Analysis Methodologies Typically, the traffic analysis methodologies for the facility types indicated below are used by WSDOT and will be accepted without prior consultation. When a state highway has saturated flows, the use of a microsimulation model is encouraged for the analysis (note, however, that the microsimulation model must be calibrated and validated for reliable results). Other analysis methods may be accepted; however, consultation between the lead agency, WSDOT, and those preparing the TIA is recommended to agree on the data necessary for the analysis. The methodologies include: A. Freeway Segments – Highway Capacity Manual ( HCM), operational analysis B. Weaving Areas – WSDOT Design Manual (DM), (HCM), operational analysis C. Ramps and Ramp Junctions – HCM, operational analysis or WSDOT DM, WSDOT Ramp Metering Guidelines (most recent edition) D. Multilane Highways – HCM, operational analysis E. Two-Lane Highways – HCM, operational analysis F. Signalized Intersections – HCM, Highway Capacity Software,** operational analysis, Synchro G. Unsignalized Intersections – HCM,

WSDOT Criteria/Warrants – MUTCD (stop signs), WSDOT Traffic Manual (school crossings), WSDOT Design Manual , Chapter 840 (freeway lighting, conventional highway lighting) Design Manual M 22-01 Traffic Analysis > May 2006 Page 610-7 L. Channelization – WSDOT Design Manual M. Roundabouts – WSDOT Design Manual **Note: WSDOT does not officially advocate the use of any special software. However, consistency with the HCM is advocated in most (but not all) cases. The WSDOT local development review units utilize the software mentioned above. If different software or analytical techniques are used for the TIA, then consultation between the lead agency, WSDOT, and those preparing the TIA is recommended. Challenge results that are significantly different than those produced with the analytical techniques above. The procedures in the Highway Capacity Manual do not explicitly address operations of closely spaced signalized intersections. Under such conditions, several unique characteristics must be considered, including spill-back potential from the downstream intersection to the upstream intersection; effects of downstream queues on upstream saturation flow rates; and unusual platoon dispersion or compression between intersections. An example of such closely spaced operations is signalized ramp terminals at urban interchanges. Queue interactions between closely spaced intersections can seriously distort the procedures in the HCM. ## 610.10 Traffic Analysis Software For applications that fall outside the limits of the HCM software, WSDOT makes use of the following software: (1) TRANSYT-7F TRANSYT-7F is a traffic signal timing optimization software package for traffic networks, arterial streets, or single intersections having complex or simple conditions.

Design Manual M 22-01 Traffic Analysis > May 2006 Page 610-9 ## 610.11 Mitigation Measures Consultation between the lead agency, WSDOT, and those preparing the TIA is recommended to reach consensus on the mitigation measures and who will be responsible. Mitigation measures must be included in the TIA, to determine if a project’s impacts can be eliminated or reduced to a level of insignificance. Eliminating or reducing impacts to a level of insignificance is the standard pursuant to SEPA and NEPA. The lead agency is responsible for administering the SEPA review process and has the principal authority for approving a local development proposal or land use change. WSDOT, as a lead agency, is responsible for reviewing the TIA for impacts that pertain to state highway facilities. However, the authority vested in the lead agency under SEPA does not take precedence over other authorities in law. If the mitigation measures require work in the state highway right of way, an encroachment permit from WSDOT is required. This work is also subject to WSDOT standards and specifications. Consultation between the lead agency, WSDOT, and those preparing the TIA early in the planning process is strongly recommended to expedite the review of local development proposals and to reduce conflicts and misunderstandings in both the local
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
agency SEPA review process as well as the WSDOT encroachment permit process. Additional mitigation recommendations necessary to help relieve impacts include the following: (a) Satisfy local agency guidelines and interlocal agreements (b) Correct any LOS deficiencies as per interlocal guidelines (c) Donation of right of way/frontage improvements/channelization changes (d) Installation of a traffic signal (warrant analysis per MUTCD is required) (e) Include current/future state projects (Sunshine Report) (f) Clear zone if widening the state highway (g) Any proposed changes to state highway channelization require submittal of a complete channelization plan, per channelization plan checklist, for state review and approval (h) Possible restrictions of turning movements (i) Sight distance (j) Traffic mitigation payment (pro-rata share contribution) to a programmed WSDOT project (see Chapter 4 of the Development Services Manual) ## 610.12 Traffic Impact Analysis Report The minimum contents of a TIA report are listed below.

For purposes of design, the required sight distance is considered in terms of passing sight distance, stopping sight distance, and decision sight distance. For additional information, see the following chapters: Chapter Subject 910 sight distance at intersections at grade 915 sight distance at roundabouts 920 sight distance at road approaches 930 sight distance at railroad crossings 1020 sight distance for paths and trails ## 650.02 References Design Guidance Guidance included by reference within the text includes: Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways , USDOT, FHWA; including the Washington State Modifications to the MUTCD, Chapter 468-95 WAC, (MUTCD) > htm Supporting Information Other resources used or referenced in this chapter includes: A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets , AASHTO, 2001 ## 650.03 Definitions decision sight distance The distance required for a driver to detect an unexpected or difficult-to-perceive

information source or hazard, interpret the information, recognize the hazard, select an appropriate maneuver, and complete it safely and efficiently. design speed The speed used to determine the various geometric design features of the roadway. passing sight distance The distance (on a two-lane highway) required for a vehicle to execute a normal passing maneuver based on design conditions and design speed. roadside That area between the outside shoulder edge and the right of way limits. The median area between the edges the shoulders on a divided highway is also considered roadside. roadway The portion of a highway, including shoulders, for vehicular use. rural design area An area that meets none of the conditions to be an urban design area. sight distance The length of highway visible to the driver. stopping sight distance The distance required to safely stop a vehicle traveling at design speed. suburban area A term for the area at the boundary of an urban area. Suburban settings may combine the higher speeds common in rural areas with activities that are more similar to urban settings. urban area An area designated by WSDOT in cooperation with the Transportation Improvement Board and regional transportation planning organizations, subject to the approval of the FHWA. urban design area An area where urban design criteria is appropriate, that is defined by one or more of the following: • An urban area. • An area within the limits of an incorporated city or town. Sight Distance Design Manual M 21-01 Page 650-2 May 2006 • An area characterized by intensive use of the land for the location of structures and receiving such urban services as sewer, water, and other public utilities and services normally associated with an incorporated city or town. This may include an urban growth area defined under the Growth Management
{ "page_id": null, "source": 7320, "title": "from dpo" }
Act (Chapter 36.70A RCW Growth management—planning by selected counties and cities), but outside the city limits. • An area with not more than 25% undeveloped land. ## 650.04 Stopping Sight Distance (1) Design Criteria Stopping sight distance is the sum of two distances: the distance traveled during perception and reaction time and the distance required to stop the vehicle. The perception and reaction time used in design is 2.5 seconds. The stopping distance is calculated using a constant deceleration rate of 11.2 feet/second 2. Provide design stopping sight distance (see Figure 650-1) at all points on all highways and on all intersecting roadways, except when evaluating an existing roadway, as provided in 650.04(7) . Available stopping sight distance is calculated for a passenger car using an eye height (h 1) of 3.50 feet and an object height (h 2) of 0.50 foot. Although AASHTO allows a 2-foot object height, a 0.5-foot object height is used because objects with a height between 0.5 foot and 2 feet may be perceived as hazards that would likely result in an erratic maneuver. In urban design areas, with justification, the object height (h 2) may be increased to 2.00 feet. Figure 650-1 gives the design stopping sight distances for grades less than 3%, the minimum curve length for a 1% grade change to provide the sight distance (using h 2=0.50 feet) for a crest (K C) and sag (K S) vertical curve, and the minimum length of vertical curve for the design speed (VCL m).

The stopping distance is increased on downgrades and decreased on upgrades. Figure 650-2 gives the stopping sight distances for grades of 3% and steeper. When evaluating sight distance with a changing grade, use the grade for which the longest sight distance is needed. > Design Speed (mph) Stopping Sight Distance (ft) Downgrade Upgrade > -3% -6% -9% 3% 6% 9% > 25 158 165 173 147 143 140 30 205 215 227 190 184 179 35 258 271 288 237 229 222 40 315 333 354 289 278 269 45 378 401 428 345 331 320 50 447 474 508 405 389 375 55 520 553 594 470 450 433 60 599 638 687 539 515 495 65 683 729 786 612 585 561 70 772 826 892 690 658 631 75 867 928 1004 773 736 705 80 966 1037 1123 860 818 782 Design Stopping Sight Distance on Grades > Figure 650-2 Design Manual M 21-01 Sight Distance May 2006 Page 650-3 For stopping sight distances on grades between those listed, interpolate between the values given or use the equation in Figure 650-3. > »¼º«¬ªr¸¹·¨©§ > 100 2.32 > 30 47 .12 > GVVSa > t > Where: S= Stopping sight distance on grade (ft) V= Design speed (mph) > t= Perception/reaction time (2.5 sec) > a= Deceleration rate (11.2 ft/sec 2)G = Grade (%) Stopping Sight Distance on Grades > Figure 650-3 Where: S

When using the equations in Figure 650-4, use h1=3.50 feet and h2=0.50 foot. Figure 650-1 1 does not use the sight distance greater than the length of curve equation. When the sight distance is greater than the length of curve and the length of curve is critical, the S>L equation given in Figure 650-4 may be used to find the minimum curve length.
