Abstract This paper presents a modified method of intersection analysis that considers the operational effects of random lane blockages by the pickup and delivery vehicles that dominate the downtown arterial system. The paper provides a summary of the research that developed the presented tool, but concentrates on the findings related to mean arterial speed reduction caused by lane blockages. It then develops a method of determining an equivalent volume to represent the induced delays by the lane blockages. The paper subsequently presents a method of incorporating this equivalent volume effect into the standard critical lane method for signal timing. The author also makes suggestions on how the results could be used in other methods of intersection analysis.
