8.2 Recommended Pedestrian LOS Model The proposed pedestrian level of service predicts the mean level of service that would be reported by pedestrians along or across the urban street. The average pedestrian LOS for the urban street facility is a function of the segment level of service, the intersection level of service, and the mid-block crossing difficulty.

The delay is converted into a LOS numerical score based on the minimum of the mean delay waiting for a gap or diverting to a signal, according to the values given in Exhibit 95. Wait-For-Gap LOS Calculation The Wait-For-Gap LOS is computed based on the expected waiting time required to find an acceptable gap in the traffic to cross the street.

Although the HCM reproduces the mean video lab ratings for each video clip 25% of the time, the two proposed pedestrian LOS models (1 and 2) both reproduce the mean video clip ratings 43% of the time.
