<br />Vehicular Volume, Speed, and Classification Analysis <br />th <br />6 <br />Using data collected from 24-hour tube counts at three select locations along the West 11 Avenue <br />th <br />7 <br />corridor, information was analyzed regarding vehicular bi-directional volumes, 85 percentile speed and <br />heavy vehicle traffic; which is summarized in Table 3-2. As shown in the table, the vehicle directionality is <br />th <br />fairly evenly split on West 11 Avenue west of Garfield Street. <br />tha <br />Table 3-2: West 11 Avenue Bi-Directional Volumes, Speeds, and Heavy Vehicle Usage <br />Average Daily Traffic <br />Location <br /> Eastbound Westbound Total <br />th <br />W 11 Ave <br />West of Beltline Rd 11,360 (51%) 11,050 (49%) 22,410 <br />West of Garfield St 13,880 (50%) 13,990 (50%) 27,870 <br />W 13th Ave (EB)-W 11th Ave (WB) <br />West of Chambers St 7,110 (36%) 12,370 (64%) 19,480 <br />th <br />b <br />85 Percentile Speed Truck Traffic <br />Location <br /> Eastbound Westbound Eastbound Westbound <br />th <br />W 11 Ave <br />West of Beltline Rd 42 mph 43 mph 5% 6% <br />West of Garfield St 35 mph 36 mph 4% 5% <br />W 13th Ave (EB)-W 11th Ave (WB) <br />West of Chambers St 35 mph 35 mph 2% 4% <br />a <br />SOURCE: All Traffic Data 24-hour classification and speed counts were taken on Wednesday, December 12, 2007. <br />b <br />Specified as vehicles with three or more axles. <br /> <br />To further understand the use of this roadway over the course of a 24-hour period, Figure 3-1 shows <br />vehicle movements throughout the day at the location just west of Garfield Street. This graph shows that <br />the highest traffic volume for both eastbound and westbound vehicles is during the PM peak hours. The <br />eastbound direction is used more heavily during the AM hours and the westbound direction tends to have a <br />slightly heavier movement during the PM hours. This directionality split is a typical commuting scenario <br />with the AM flow towards the downtown Eugene central business district and the PM traffic moving away <br />from the downtown core. <br /> <br />6 <br /> All Traffic Data 24-hour classification and speed counts were taken on Wednesday, December 12, 2007. <br />7 <br />th <br /> The 85 percentile speed is defined as the speed below which 85 percent of the vehicles are traveling. <br /> <br /> <br />th <br />West 11 Avenue Corridor Study September 4, 2009 <br />City of Eugene P07265-003-000 <br />10 <br />
