speed generally associated with the maximum flow rates on the freeway. <br />The analysis was conducted for the critical PM peak period (3:30-6:30 <br />PM) Table 12 shows the results. Analysis shows that as a result of <br />increasing freeway congestion, approximately 20% of would-be freeway <br />traffic may be diverted from the freeways to arterial streets during the <br />peak periods unless the freeways themselves are improved. <br />The SATC model was also examined to determine how extensive <br />the trip diversion from freeways to arterials was at some distance from <br />the study area. The analysis revealed that motorists whose trips <br />originate in the study area continued to avoid the freeway at locations <br />away from the study area. Typical examples are indicated in Table 13. <br />Analysis of Table 13 shows motorists will continue to utilize arterial <br />streets in lieu of the freeways at distances considerably remote from <br />Fashion Square unless the freeways themselves are improved. <br />TABLE 12 <br />PORTION OF TOTAL TRAVEL ASSIGNED TO FREEWAYS (PM PEAK PERIOD) <br />Freeway Flow Condition Direction Percentage <br />Congested To study area 11.8% <br />Congested Out of study area 56.1% <br />Maximum Capacity (40 MPH) To study area 57.8% <br />Maximum Capacity (40 MPH) Out of study area 70.6% <br />TABLE 13 <br />COMPARISON OF FREEWAY ASSIGNMENT VS <br />TRAVEL DEMAND AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS <br />PM Peak Period Volume (x100) <br />Location Direction eman ssignment <br />1-5 <br />@ Rte 91 <br />N/B <br />3 <br />1 <br />1-5 <br />@ Rte 91 <br />S/B <br />2 <br />1 <br />Rte <br />57 @ Rte 91 <br />N/B <br />7 <br />8 <br />Rte <br />57 @ Rte 91 <br />S/B <br />3 <br />4 <br />Rte <br />22 @ Beach <br />W/B <br />11 <br />5 <br />Rte <br />22 @ Beach <br />E/B <br />4 <br />1 <br />I-5 <br />@ Rte 55 <br />S/B <br />31 <br />38 <br />I-5 <br />@ Rte 55 <br />N/B <br />7 <br />5 <br />Rte <br />91 @ Rte 55 <br />E/B <br />9 <br />3 <br />Rte <br />91 @ Rte 55 <br />W/B <br />3 <br />1 <br />Rte <br />55 @ I-5 <br />S/B <br />21 <br />0 <br />Rte <br />55 @ I-5 <br />N/B <br />5 <br />0 <br />75D-237 <br />
