Traffic Congestion

Primary Cause: Employee/Visitor Mix

Congestion can sometimes be caused because employees or concessionaires of the Federal land are traveling the same roads or using the same entrances as the visitors/tourists. The following image shows an example of a sign separating visitors from employees at the entrance to a Federal land.

The possible solutions to address this issue include building more infrastructure (routes or entrances) to separate employees from visitors, using ITS to identify employees, or using transit to transport employees to the Federal land. The following links let you view the Fact Sheets which provide detailed information on the possible solutions relating to this issue.
