Focus Intersection Bottlenecks occur along arterials and other non-controlled access roadway facilities, typically at signalized intersections. Focus intersection bottlenecks are identified in the region as ones that have at least one roadway segment approach to an intersection with a peak hour TTI greater than 1.50 or a PTI greater than 3.00 and high peak hour vehicle and volume delays. Intersections with more than one segment approach with high peak hour delays were given added weight to be included as a focus intersection bottleneck.For each bottleneck, peak travel time vehicle and volume delays are summarized for all approach segments that touch the intersection and any other trailing adjacent segments with a TTI of 1.40 or more, or until another bottleneck is encountered.
A total of 299 Focus Intersection Bottlenecks were identified in the DVRPC region: 181 in Pennsylvania and 118 in New Jersey.
These bottlenecks are symbolized by rank in delay from high to low in quartiles separately for the Pennsylvania and New Jersey subregions, with brown locations being the most delayed and yellow the least. Rank is based on travel time vehicle and volume delays.
