Abstract

The Iowa State Highway Commission, in cooperation with the United States Bureau of Public Roads, conducted an external origin-destination traffic survey in Oskaloosa. The purpose of this survey was to deter mine the total number a nd type of vehicles entering or leaving t he study area and to obtain origin and destination data from a representative sample of those vehicles. Factual information of this nature is essential in the planning of streets and highways which will not only serve the needs of local traffic, but which will serve the need of interstate and intercity traffic as well. It is not the purpose of this report to make recommendations concerning the revision or construction of routes. It is rather to organize and present the findings of the survey in a manner which will facilitate the determination of traffic needs and thereby provide the basis for future street and highway planning.
