"24 hour totals are absolutely useless for anything at all. looking at full day data is really only useful for identifying the peak."That statement shows your total incompetence. One lane out if four is being removed from general traffic 24/7. In order to determine if that is justified, one must first compute how many rely on those general traffic lanes on a 24/7 basis when the lanes will be ineffect. One must also figure out how many daily bus passengers there are to determine how many could possibly benefit. SO YOU NEED 24 HOUR COUNTS TO DETERMINE THE FORMER, not only to calculate the peak hour. We still do not have 24 hour counts for vehicles other than buses using the road. All we have are limited counts at selected intersections. Those counts tend to indicate that only 20 perecent of vehicle users are riding the bus when 25 percent of the road will be taken away for exclusive bus use. Bus riders account for one third of the users during the peak hour and far fewer during the period 24 hour period when the proposal would be in effect. |
