Appendix BSummary of Field Data:Freeway and Arterial Speeds
This appendix presents a summary of findings from the travel time and speed surveysconducted on freeway and arterial segments as part of the evaluation of the rampmetering system in the Twin Cities region.
In the figures, the arterial routes are identified as follows:
• CR-61 = County Route 61;
• Vick = Vicksburg Avenue;
• TH-77 = TH-77;
• Univ = University Avenue;
• Marsh = Marshall Avenue;
• Rice = Rice Avenue; and
• Edge = Edgerton Avenue.
The colors in the graphics indicate the day of the week in which the travel time surveyswere performed, as follows:
• Red = Travel time surveys performed on a Monday;
• Blue = Travel time surveys performed on Tuesday through Thursday; and
• Yellow = Travel time surveys performed on a Friday.
The two evaluation study periods are represented as follows:
• “With” = With ramp metering; and
• “Without” = Without ramp metering.
