Traffic Analysis
The traffic flow was determined by making traffic counts at peak hours, the traffic was counted in person using a traffic counter tally. Two persons were assigned to measure the traffic flow at each intersection, the measurements were taken at morning and evening. The morning peak hours considered was from 7 - 9 AM and in the evening form 4-6 PM. The intersections analyzed were selected based on the amount of traffic they would contribute to the industrial park. The intersections taken in to account were I-10 and Airway, Humble Pl and Gateway Blvd. East, Hawkins and Gateway Blvd. East, and Hawkins and Tony Lama St. It was considered that those four locations would provide a reliable estimation on the traffic generated in the industrial park. The reasoning for selecting those intersections was that these four intersections were located at what we considered would be the main points of access to the industrial park, they cover the westbound traffic coming from Gateway East Blvd. (Gateway and Humble Pl.), the traffic generated by the commercial developments north to the industrial park (Airway and Gateway), the west bound traffic incoming from the west (Hawkins and Gateway), and the southbound traffic towards the industrial park (Tony Lama and Hawkins).
