NM502 corridor: Some crucial performance observations |
| << Previous |
|
 The corridor has
had excellent availability over the past few years-- until the 2011 construction
of Phase IV of the Diamond Drive project which ties up the intersection
of Trinity and Diamond. Major reconstruction on Trinity and East Road would,
of course, reduce availability over the multiple phases of construction,
especially if the construction involved the two-lane stretches of East Road
and/or the installation of roundabouts. |
| Both Trinity Dr.
and East Rd. have very low accident rates. Details of the accident data
from 2008 and 2009 can be viewed in map
and tabular form. I think
the low accident rate in the corridor can be attributed in part to the relatively
low congestion and to clearly marked, signalized, and well-designed traffic-flow
configurations. Of course, drivers along the corridor deserve quite a bit
of credit, too. Evidently they were largely skilled, sober, and attentive. |
