What is Level of Service (LOS)?

Level of service (LOS) measures a driver’s experience on the road and at intersections, based on the speed and number of cars using the road. The LOS of a road is designated by a letter grade of A (free flow) to F (near gridlock).

A designation of A, B, or C represents free-flowing conditions. F is stop-and-go traffic. These scores are based on the highest congestion level on that roadway, even if it only occurs a few minutes a day.


Illustration of a roadway with just a few vehicles. There is more than enough space between vehicles on the road.A: Free flow. Low volumes and no delays.


Illustration of a roadway with some vehicles on it. The roadway is not packed and there is plenty of space between vehicles.B: Stable flow. Speeds restricted by travel conditions, minor delays.


Illustration of a roadway with vehicles dispersed. There is adequate space between vehicles.C: Stable flow. Speeds and maneuverability closely controlled because of higher volumes.


Illustration of a roadway that's about half full of vehicles. D: Stable flow. Speeds considerably affected by change in operation conditions; high-density traffic restricts maneuverability, volume near capacity.


Illustration of a roadway with many vehicles on it. There is still some space between the vehiclesE: Unstable flow. Low speeds; considerable delays, volume at or slightly over capacity.


Illustration showing a roadway packed with vehicles, like a traffic jam.F: Forced flow. Very low speed, volumes exceed capacity, long delays with stop-and-go traffic.
