Roadway Character Functional Classification

Roadways grouped in a hierarchy based on type of service they provide

Select classification from drop-down menu

ADT (Average Daily Traffic) Vehicular Traffic Design Year – (20 years after opening

year)

Daily Hourly Volume (DHV) Proportion of traffic moving in the peak

direction during the design hour 12Categorical Exclusion Training Class

Roadway Character Truck Percentage

Truck traffic as a percentage of total traffic

Setting & Topography Select appropriate answer from drop-

down menu


Roadway Character Existing & proposed roadway design

criteria Existing design compared to proposed Design criteria provides a basis to

evaluate potential environmental impacts

Identify what criteria is expected to be implemented, if the design is uncertain

If more than one roadway impacted, Ellis will need to include each one accordingly

Number of lanes Turning, climbing, and through lanes


Roadway Character Design Speed

Speed facility is designed to accommodate Legal Speed

Posted legal speed limit Type of lanes

Identify appropriate type of lanes Through or two-way left-turn lane

(TWLTL) Pavement, shoulder, median & sidewalk

Maintenanceof

Traffic


Remarks Answer all drop-downs appropriately Discuss proposed temporary roadway,

lane closures and/or detours anticipated during construction

Include references to specific applicable policies

Specify how proposed maintenance of traffic will impact the local community EMS, fire, police, schools, business

access, etc.


Remarks Specify how the general public, safety

services, and local government will be made aware of the closure and subsequent detour State who is responsible for issuing the

notice Discussed at PI meeting, if known For a more complex MOT, more advanced

notice will be required

List environmental commitments Answer yes in the drop-down to generate

table


Remarks Be clear and concise Avoid Confusion!!!


Example

Maintenance of traffic will be handled in four phases. During Phase One SR 999 will be reconstructed north of SR 45. SR 999 will be closed north of SR 45. The detour will utilize SR 328 to US 25 then back to SR 999 (final MOT map will not be available until Stage 2 Design Plans). During the time special provisions will be made for the property owners to access their homes. Essentially, the single residential property owner has two driveways. During the entire construction of the project, at least one drive will be available at all times.

During Phases Two & three, SR 999 intersection will be reconstructed. Traffic will be maintained with part width and the use of signals. During Phase Four, SR 999 south of the intersection will be constructed. SR 999 will be closed. The detour will include SR 328 to US 55 and back to SR 999.

There are not through-traffic dependent businesses or festivals needing accommodations or special provisions. Also, locals, and emergency vehicles will utilize township and county roads as needed. A news release will be provided 2 weeks before construction begins in order to notify the local’s.

Utilities


Right-of-Way & Utilities Right-of-Way (ROW)

acquisition figures Temporary & permanent

ROW listed separately Answer utility questions List specific utilities

impacted Utility coordination

typically an on-going commitment


Remarks

Discuss: Where right-of-way impacts will occur

Is it primarily strip takes; is it takes from residences, businesses, etc.

Identify all utilities impacted List environmental commitments


Example

31

Estimated right-of-way needed for the project is based on preliminary drawings and construction limits. Approximately 10.25 acres (12 parcels from 9 owners) is expected to be acquired from land owners in Westmoreland County and 4.045 acres (62 parcels from 55 owners) is expected to be acquired from land owners in Eastern County. Strip right-of-way approximately 1.85 acres will be acquired from the Madison Park owned and operated by the MetroParks of Westmoreland County.

All utilities shown on the project plans or located during project construction will be relocated or adjusted by the owner of the utility. The project may require the relocation of the following utilities: electric, gas, telephone, water, cable, and sewer.

All utility work shall be coordinated between the contractor and the utility owners in such a way as to avoid and/or minimize any inconvenience to potentially affected customers. All utility work not included in this contract shall be performed by the affected utility owner or its contractor and will be compliant with ODOT roadway design standards. Utility work will be ongoing throughout construction of the project.Categorical Exclusion Training Class
