Abstract

This report is based on an external origin and destination traffic survey that was made in Waverly in June of 1972. The survey was made in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration and was taken to provide up-to-date trip information for traffic on Iowa 3 east and U.S. 218 south of the study area. A complete external origin-destination survey was taken in Waverly in July of 1968 but due to road construction in this area at the time of the survey, it was felt that additional data was needed to provide accurate trip information for making traffic projections. The study area used for the 1972 survey in Waverly was identical to that used in 1968 with the exception that only two interview stations were used in the latter survey. Interviews were conducted at locations on Iowa 3 east and U.S. 218 south of the study area on June 14-16, 1972. Standard procedures were used in operating each of the interview stations over a 15 hour period from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Automatic traffic recorders were used at each interview station for a period of five weekdays, including the days the stations were in operation. At the conclusion of the field work, the recorder counts were summarized and used in conjunction with interview data to expand the trip information to 24 hour average June weekday traffic for 1972.
