Traffic/civil engineers don't always plan intersections for maximum traffic expected, but more on the average traffic expected. There are studies done for these calculations, I did one in grad school during an optimization class using LINDO . . sounds old?
The goal is to not overbuild for average expected traffic. . though the civil engineers always fail with the average number of parking spots. . always underbuild to the average expected, never the maximum expected. . . so when the maximum is observed, its most frustrating. .
