Negligible – could affect visitor use, traffic characteristics, and highway
safety, but the change would be so small that it would not be of any measurable
or perceptible consequence and/or would affect few people.
-
Minor – could affect visitor use, traffic characteristics, and highway
safety, but the change would be slight and localized with few measurable
consequences, and/or would affect some people.
-
Moderate – would result in readily apparent adverse changes to visitor use,
traffic characteristics, and highway safety with measurable consequences, and/or
an effect on a large number of people.
-
Major – would have a substantial adverse or beneficial effect on visitor use,
traffic characteristics, and highway safety, and/or would affect the majority of
