22-50 Traffic

Please have the CREC Traffic Consultant review and analyze tanker truck movements through the Pascoag Main/South Main Street and the Route 100 (Church Street) and High Street intersection because these movements require water tanker trucks to cross the ce

While a previous analysis of the truck movements through Pascoag Main Street intersections along the truck route show that a WB-50 truck would need to encroach over the centerline to traverse this route, there are only three trucks anticipated during the weekday morning and weekday afternoon peak hours during worst case conditions (during oil fired event response). For truck size, the analysis has been based on a WB-50, which also depicts a worst-case scenario.  However, 8,000 gallon water delivery trucks can be of different sizes and axle configurations, and may be smaller than a WB-50 design vehicle. Typical conditions for the site result in only one truck per hour for the majority of site operations. Despite the WB-50 truck encroachment, there is not a significant impact on operations expected and the condition would last for a short duration. Additionally, if the trucks delivering to the site are smaller than the design vehicle (WB-50), a lesser encroachment would actually occur.  Therefore, the LOS is not negatively changed from the prior report.
