... Due to small sample sizes that would result by limiting the sites to only those fitting the base conditions and the AADT ranges used for SPF estimation, all intersections were included (including those outside of AADT ranges) , and the appropriate CMFs applied.
From page 305...
... the base conditions, for which CMFs are available, are as follows: β€’ No lighting. β€’ 2-lanes on the major road and 2-lanes on the minor road For all way stop controlled intersections on rural two-lane roads and urban arterials (Rur4Leg-AWSC, Urb3Leg-AWSC, Urb4Leg-AWSC)
From page 306...
... The research team conduced a sensitivity analysis to determine the effect of minor road AADTs on the calibration factors and found variations in calibration factors to be in the Β±2% range for the various randomly generated minor road AADT samples. Based on this minimal variation in the effects of minor road AADT on the calibration factors, the research team went ahead with including all urban arterial intersections with interpolated minor road AADTs in cases where minor road AADTs were missing.

For example, where the adjustment factor for lighting is of interest, all the sites used meet the base conditions except for lighting where both sites with and without lighting are used.
