Abstract

This report of the Clinton Urban Traffic Survey describes briefly the characteristics of the urban area pertinent to the local problem of highway transportation and presents and analyzes the data gathered in the survey. All trip data obtained in the survey are presented in terms of the number of trips per day. They are classified by the origins and destinations of these trips and by the areas within the city 9 to which and from which they were made. For this particular survey the town of Camanche and the area between the Camanche corporate limits and the Clinton urban limits were both given tract numbers and included within the study area. To facilitate t his arrangement the southernmost station was located on U.S. 67 just outside of the southwest corner of the Camanche corporate area. Survey interviews were made only at the external stations indicated by diamonds on the tract map in the appendix. Trips through these stations, for which t he data were obtained, may be defined as "rural trips." Knowledge of the number of "urban trips" or "intracity trips" is not available in this external type survey.
