Key assumptions: traffic, pedestrian and bicycle flows same as baseline; speeds = 80km/h; alignment same as baseline; intersection and property access locations and layout same as baseline. Street lighting poles are non-frangible; medians are not traversable with non-frangible trees; passenger-side paved shoulders are wide, driver-side are narrow.
