US-95 Level Two Screening Criteria

Reduce congestion through improved travel time reliability

  • Traffic Operations

    • Traffic volume (2050) to roadway capacity (volume-to-capacity ratio)

  • Optimized future (2050) vehicular travel time along the existing or new corridors and routes

    • Reduced intersection delay during future (2050) peak hours

Enhance regional north-south connection between Lewiston and Coeur d'Alene

  • Travel times as documented by combined delay through multiple intersections along the corridor

  • ​Refine travel time reliability criteria as it relates to freight, safety, and potential impacts for concepts​​

Accommodate walking and biking where appropriate on the U.S. highway system

  • Multimodal Mobility

    • Accommodation of enhanced walking and biking US-95 crossings where appropriate​

  • ​Accommodation of expanded walking and biking opportunities where appropriate​​

Promote safety by addressing geometric and operational deficiencies

  • Safety Measurements

    • Potential crash reduction (for identified predominant crash pattern)​

  • ​Reduced potential conflict points (vehicular, pedestrian/bicyclists, and animals)​​

  • Community

    • Property access modifications​
