Travel Time Studies
What is a travel time study?
A travel time study allows the Traffic Engineering
Staff to compare current traffic conditions to those
in the past, identify congested areas and make
adjustments to traffic signal timings as necessary,
and to identify congested areas, which provides
decision makers with information that can be used to
decide how to spend money intended for roadway
improvements.
Why are travel time studies
conducted?
In the Fall of 2006, the City of Mesa began
performing semi-annual travel time studies on
arterial streets throughout Mesa. The studies are
being done as part of a performance measure for
Traffic Engineering. The specific goal is to keep
the rate of travel time increases below the growth
rate of traffic volumes.
