patterns
Traffic behavior during traffic congestion
Dwell time at the departure and arrival curbsides
Traffic operation failures at access points
to the terminal and various levels of parking
Level of service at driveways, intersections,
and signals
NE&C also conducted an extensive analysis
of the study data and developed recommendations
for short and long term improvements and design
changes to:
Roadway geometrics
