From page 135... ... However, in the coastal mega-regions, most of the major highway facilities operate with traffic flows that are well above levels that would maintain that standard. The I-95 Corridor Coalition has made a major commitment to providing improved understanding of the longdistance trip, including the trips by vehicles on the roadway system. Read the entire page →
From page 136... ... The maximum possible value for this index would be 24, but that would imply that traffic flows equal capacity for all 24 hours of an average day. As traffic flows in practice vary significantly across the day and, in particular, are very much lower at night, index values above 10.0 are generally associated with significant congestion levels on "average" days and for more than the typical few hours of peak congestion.

B.2.1 Future Increases in Capacity: The California Statewide Model Highway Network As the East Coast Mega-region comprises several states -- each of which has its own process for identifying and prioritizing highway improvement projects -- there is currently no single, consistent plan for the highway system nor any projection of future traffic volumes and service levels. The I-95 Corridor Coalition plans to develop ICAT in a way that could be useful to that purpose, but that work will likely not be completed in time to be useful to this ACRP project.
