Average Peak Hour Traffic Volumes Average peak hour volumes focus on the two hours of the day in which the traffic volumes are highest and when drivers would most likely experience congestion that might encourage a shift to their route – the morning peak hour and the evening peak hour. The same peak hours were used before and after the pilot – 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Table 20 shows the average morning peak hour traffic volumes on selected roadways in the study area. Table 21 shows the average evening peak hour traffic volumes on selected roadways in the study area. Morning peak hour traffic volumes generally increased more than the increases in daily traffic volumes. Trips made on the pilot corridor increased by up to 197 vehicles or 16 percent in the morning peak hour (Jefferson Avenue between Highland Avenue and Alameda de las Pulgas). The largest increase on an alternate route was on Woodside Road, between Alameda de las Pulgas and El Camino Real (923 additional vehicles, a 42 percent increase). The largest increase on a parallel route was on Edgewood Road, between I-280 and Alameda de las Pulgas (690 additional vehicles, a 56 percent increase). Evening peak hour traffic volumes generally increased more than the daily volumes increased. Trips made on the corridor increased by up to 154 vehicles or 16 percent in the evening peak hour (Farm Hill Boulevard between McGarvey Avenue and Jefferson Avenue). The largest increase on an alternate route was on Woodside Road between Alameda de las Pulgas to El Camino Real (468 additional vehicles, an 18 percent increase). 8.A. - Page 33
