Figure 3-11: Volume-to-Capacity Ratios

Volume-to-Capacity (V/C), or degree of saturation, represents the ability of a roadway to accommodate vehicular demand. As demand exceeds capacity (V/C ratio greater than 1.0), traffic flow becomes unstable and delays increase. Highly unsustainable V/C conditions occur on Van Buren Boulevard south of Bellegrave Avenue with moderately unsustainable conditions north of Bellegrave Avenue, as well as on portions of Limonite Avenue (see Figure 3-12).
