Traffic-Data-Overview-2015

Much better than check marks-maybe they should have used starfish-lol. Criteria appears to be free-flow rush hour traffic in 2045 (between 8 and 10 lanes options).

pg 11 - currently only the northbound afternoon counterflow really experiences significant (i.e. >6-7 minutes) delays due to traffic congestion with ~17 minute annual average with all over 15 minutes average delays in the summer. I wonder if the MOTI could mitigate some of the delays somehow? Looking at this from June-Aug it might make sense to eliminate or reduce the afternoon counterflow.

Traffic is expected to grow to 115,000 per day in 2045 (for comparison the Broadway subway forecast is 250,000 per day when it opens). Transit is 1% of the trips but 16% of the # of people. In October 3 days of 31 had delays over 30min, average <15min. Single occupant vehicles during the peaks are 75-85% of the vehicles by type (pg 20). Trucks are 3% during the peaks, growing to 9-11% mid-day. Per App H, an 8-lane bridge will experience congestion on opening day if it includes an HOV lane over the bridge and assuming users stop staggering their commute time to mitigate traffic delays. There's a chart outlining how the peak got sharper on the Port Mann by about 1500 vehicles per hour with free-flow traffic on pg 32.
