Level of Service (LOS) is a qualitative measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream, based on service measures such as speed and travel time, freedom to maneuver, traffic interruptions, comfort, and convenience.
(LOS) Average Delay per Vehicle (seconds per vehicle) General Description A Less than or equal to 10 seconds Free Flow B 10-20 seconds Stable flow (slight delays) C 20-35 seconds Stable flow (acceptable delays) D 35-55 seconds Approaching unstable flow (tolerable delay, occasionally wait through more than one signal cycle before proceeding) E 55-80 seconds Unstable flow (intolerable delay) F Greater than 80 seconds Forced flow (jammed)
