for the Design Year 2020 PM and Saturday Peak Hour iirinditians to determine if the weave area
would cause unacceptable delays or blockine, of traffic. No such events were obitur.id The
upstream traffic signal at the intersection of Priim•; Frederick Drive add Millwood Pike provided
gaps in the westbound traffic stream that allowed for the weave movement to be accomplished
with minimal through traffic.
