Project Description : The Arterial Asphalt and Concrete Program maintains Seattle%s 1,581 lane miles of
arterial streets through resurfacing and
4 shows the relations between traffic flow density and average momentary speed on arterial streets with free traffic flow at different regulation speed, as well as with different numbers of lanes in different time periods.
When analysing the data acquired on average momentary speeds it was concluded that the actual speeds on arterial streets rarely exceeded the design speeds for arterial streets.
This study recommended using high pressure sodium lights (HPS) on collector and arterial streets and low pressure sodium lights (LPS) on residential streets.
After more discussion and presentations by city department staff members, the existing policy of using LPS lighting on residential streets and HPS lighting on collector and arterial streets was reaffirmed.
The delay of the Orange Line doesn't just mean it will be longer until 60-foot buses run across the Valley on their own roadway; it means that service enhancements on the connecting north-south
arterial streets will be delayed as well.
Most of the route is on the 2-lane
arterial streets of Addison, Standard, and Colton Streets with higher traffic volumes (ADT: 4,500 to 9,700).
Most of the streets on the project list are residential, although three minor
arterial streets - Canwood Street, Roadside Drive and Palo Comado Drive - will also be resurfaced, Thorsen said.
However, presently, the corridor crosses more than three dozen
arterial streets, all at street-level, not to mention many local streets.
