This methodology is <br />based on the original LTS methodology developed in 2012 by the Mineta Transportation Institute and <br />San Jose State University5. Both methodologies assign a traffic stress level base on street/traffic <br />attributes (e.g. traffic speed, traffic volume, number of lanes, etc.). As shown in Table 7, the original <br />LTS has four stress levels, while the Montgomery County methodology provides three additional <br />stress levels. The Montgomery County methodology also includes criteria for separated bikeways, <br />two-lane roads, and industrial streets. For the purpose of this analysis, a threshold of LTS 4 was <br />used. <br />Table 7: Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) categories <br />Original LTS Montgomery County LTS <br />LTS 1 – Very Low LTS 0 – None <br />LTS 1 – Very Low <br />LTS 2 – Low LTS 2 – Low <br />LTS 3 – Moderate LTS 2.5 – Moderate Low <br />LTS 3 – Moderate High <br />LTS 4- High LTS 4 – High <br />LTS 5 – Very High <br />Source: Montgomery County, MD.The Bicycle Master Plan Appendix D, 2018 <br />4 Montgomery County, MD The Bicycle Master Plan Appendix D, 2018 <br />5 Mekuria, Maaza, Peter G.
