Beyond the Peak Hour: Reimagining Multilane Arterials
Thursday December 12, 2024 10:30am - 12:00pm EST
207
What are the ramifications of designing streets to maintain peak hour capacity? We’ll broaden the scope to look at 24-hour operations on a selection of multilane arterials throughout Philadelphia. How much of the day do these corridors have excess capacity and what are the resulting impacts on driver speeds and safety, particularly for vulnerable road users. This session takes theories introduced in NCHRP 1036: Roadway Cross-Section Reallocation and applies them to real world examples, layering in speed and crash data to more fully evaluate how these corridors operate outside of the traditional peak hour view of a traffic engineer.

Topic 1:  24-Hour Capacity Framework
Speakers: Bastian Schroeder & Conor Semler

Topic 2: Evaluating the Off-Peak Impacts of Designing for Peak Hour Operations 
Speakers: Adam Smith & Jacob Elliott

Topic 3 Implementing Complete Streets, Safe Systems, and NCHRP 1036 in Minnesota
Speaker: Sarina Praseedom
