The purpose of a travel time study is to evaluate the quality of traffic movement <br />along a route and to determine the locations, types, and extent of traffic delays by using a <br />moving test vehicle (a travel time “run”). This study method can be used to compare <br />operational conditions before and after roadway or intersection changes. Travel time runs were <br />performed on Farm Hill Boulevard/Jefferson Avenue between Woodhill Drive and Alameda de <br />las Pulgas during the morning, midday and evening periods. TJKM used the Tru-Traffic software <br />system with a GPS unit to collect the travel times. <br />Data was collected on travel times for both peak periods and midday (AM: 7:00-9:00 AM, <br />midday: 1:00-3:00 PM, and PM: 5:00-7:00 PM). Approximately 20 runs total (10 in each <br />direction) were completed during each period and then averaged. Table 5, below, summarizes <br />the findings of the travel time study. <br />8.A. - Page 16
