Name: Active Transportation Level of Traffic Stress - Intersections (LTS)
Display Field: LocalRoadName
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPoint
Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>Assignment of LTS ranking to WA state highway intersections was undertaken to aid in efforts to analyze high-level systemic safety and user acceptance of state highways for active transportation users. This data was also intended to inform high-level prioritization of active transportation improvements. Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) data rank highway segments from 1 to 4 based on roadway characteristics, with LTS 1 being most suited to active travel. LTS 1 was deemed suitable for all ages and abilities by WSDOT. LTS 2 is considered suitable for most active travelers. LTS 3 and 4 represent functional gaps in active transportation networks that present systemic safety issues and likely deter use of active modes. The data provided is not a substitute for detailed investigation of a location when specific investment decisions are being considered. The specific characteristics of locations with the same LTS rankings could vary considerably. It is important to note that an LTS 1 or 2 location might have additional, unmeasured characteristics that reduce its presumed suitability for active travel.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN /></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) was described in the 2021 WSDOT Active Transportation Plan (ATP) with methodology outlined in Appendix D.

Ramp segments are included in the dataset with a default LTS ranking of 999. This ranking indicates that all ramps are to be considered high LTS (3 or 4) unless a manual evaluation of the roadway characteristics indicates otherwise. Datasets were not available that would enable ramp rankings to be determined systematically based on posted speed and traffic volume, however a manual review of many ramp configurations across the state indicated that most ramps present LTS concerns.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN /></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>For additional information regarding ranking methodology or other questions about WSDOT’s Level of Traffic Stress dataset, contact: </SPAN><A href="mailto:Brian.D.Wood@wsdot.wa.gov" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN><SPAN>Brian.D.Wood@wsdot.wa.gov</SPAN></SPAN></A><SPAN><SPAN>. </SPAN></SPAN></P><P /><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
