Traffic
Congestion
Primary Causes: Traffic Flow-Roadways-Alternate Routes
Traffic (congestion) issues can occur because of the flow
(mix and speeds) of traffic, the capacity of the roadways,
and the availability of alternate routes. Image 1 shows a
long line of vehicles en-route to a Federal Land , Image
2 shows a long line of vehicles entering a Federal Land,
and Image 3 shows a sign indication an alternative truck
route.
  
The possible solutions to address these issues includes:
building more infrastructure (roads, entrances, etc), using
ITS to manage the current capacity more efficiently, or reducing
the demand on the roadways through policy or transit. The
following links let you view the Fact Sheets which provide
detailed information on the possible solutions relating to
this issue.
