to assess the performance of an intersection. The Guide focuses on the ratio of volume to

capacity as a rational measure of how well the intersection is accommodating demand, but it is

acknowledged that delay is also widely used (for example, in the [[Highway Capacity Manual]]).

Whether one parameter or the other is the most relevant is the subject of ongoing debate in the

profession. It is advisable to consider both parameters in the assessment of an intersection, at
