Congestion Monitoring
Areas of Concern: Travel Speed
| |
Congestion Monitoring |
A travel speed lower than 60% of the posted speed limit is an indicator of delay, which can result in congestion. As development occurs along a corridor, travel speed often decreases because of multiple driveways and additional traffic signals. One of the difficulties of maintaining arterials is balancing access to land uses and maintaining the throughput travel speed of the corridor. Many of the solutions to these concerns are not programmed in plans, but are potentially low cost solutions such as access management, traffic signal coordination, and signal timing.
In the PM period, speed areas of concern occur along portions of most of the congestion management corridors.
