Title

Drop-Off Site Traffic Count

 

Body

2016:

Initial traffic study information gathered and plans made for a long-range sampling in 2017 made.

 

 

2017:

Traffic counters placed at all 3 drop-off sites.  Learned that the data we receive from the traffic counter counts each time the sensor is tripped, meaning each vehicle triggers the counter twice.  2017 numbers have divided the number of "trips" registered by the counter by 2.1 in order to account for this, and to try to account for the number of vehicles that come to the site pulling a single-axle trailer, which would trip the counter 3 times.
