Appendix C - USLIMITS2 Report <br />USLIMITS2 Speed Zoning Report <br />Project Name: Mayflower - Bypass to Western <br />Analyst: Theresa Harrison <br />Basic Project Information <br />Project Number: TR16-105 <br />Route Name: Mayflower Road <br />From: US 20 <br />To: SR 2 <br />State: Indiana <br />County: St. Joseph County <br />City: South Bend city <br />Route Type: Road Section in Developed Area <br />Route Status: Existing <br />Roadway Information <br />Section Length: 1 mile(s) <br />Statutory Speed Limit: 30 mph <br />Adverse Alignment: No <br />One -Way Street: No <br />Divided/Undivided: Undivided <br />Number of Through Lanes: 2 <br />Area Type: Commercial <br />Number of Driveways: 29 <br />Number of Signals: 2 <br />Recommended Speed Limit: SPEE0 <br />LIMIT <br />35 <br />Date:09-13-2016 <br />Crash Data Information <br />Crash Data Years: 3.00 <br />Crash AADT: 10000 veh/day <br />Total Number of Crashes: 64 <br />Total Number of Injury Crashes: 3 <br />Section Crash Rate: 584 per 100 MVM <br />Section Injury Crash Rate: 27 per 100 MVM <br />Crash Rate Average for Similar Roads: 247 <br />Injury Rate Average for Similar Roads: 73 <br />Traffic Information <br />85th Percentile Speed: 41 mph <br />50th Percentile Speed: 35 mph <br />AADT: 10000 veh/day <br />On Street Parking and Usage: Not High <br />Pedestrian / Bicyclist Activity: Not High <br />Note: The final recommended speed limit is higher than the statutory speed limit of 30 mph for this type of road. <br />An engineering study such as the one carried out with USLIMITS is usually required to set a speed limit above the <br />statutory limit. <br />Note: The section crash rate of 584 per 100 MVM is above the critical rate (373). A comprehensive crash study <br />should be undertaken to identify engineering and traffic control deficiencies and appropriate corrective actions. The <br />speed limit should only be reduced as a last measure after all other treatments have either been tried or ruled out. <br />
