i <br />Task Two: Traffic Volumes. <br />Existing traffic volumes on La Porte's streets <br />.will be compiled from the City of La Porte, Texas, and SDHPT traffic volume <br />count records. These data will be supplemented by a 24-hour volume count <br />made by the Consultant at each of twelve (12) representative locations on the <br />major thoroughfare and secondary street system. In the event the traffic count <br />is disrupted for any reason beyond the control of the Consultant and not due to <br />his negligence, all expenses of recounting shall be borne by the City and the <br />Consultant shall be reimbursed the costs for manpower, equipment rental and <br />out-of-pocket expenses involved in performing the recount. <br />The volume counts will be tabulated and a traffic volume flow map will be <br />prepared to depict graphically the volume of existing traffic flows within the <br />City. <br />• <br />Task Three: Traffic Signals. The one existing City-operated off highway sys- <br />tem traffic signal installation will be inventoried to supplement City-furnished <br />data regarding the control equipment, the signal layout, and the signal timing in <br />use. An intersection condition diagram will be prepared for the one traffic <br />signalized intersection under the City's jurisdiction to indicate the physical <br />arrangements of the streets, driveways, channelization and safety-related items. <br />The City's signalized intersection will be evaluated as to the sufficiency of <br />the existing signal installation to accommodate the traffic demand and for com- <br />pliance with the requirements of the Texas Uniform Manual on Traffic Control <br />Devices for streets and highways. <br />Needed Improvements will be recommended for: (1) pedestrian signals, <br />• 2 u <br />( ) pgrading the existing traffic signal installation and (3) installation of addi- <br />tional traffic signals to alleviate high hazard conditions and/or to provide for <br />continuity of traffic flow on the major thoroughfares and secondary streets. <br />Recommendations for traffic signal installations or improvements will be made <br />in compliance with the traffic signal warrant requirements specified by the <br />Uniform Manual. A maximum of five (5) intersections will be included in the <br />traffic signal evaluation. <br />-2- <br />
