Abstract

In July of 1968, all vehicle drivers traveling on U.S. 30 in Benton County were interviewed to collect the specific travel information included in this study. All drivers using U.S. 30 were intercepted at two locations, a point on the north line of Section 34, T-83N, R-12W referred to as "Station l", and a point, on the north line of Section 36, T-83N, R-9W, referred to as Station 2. During a fifteen-hour period from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., drivers were asked the origin, destination and purpose of the trip. Also recorded were the direction of travel, vehicle type, state of registration, county of registration for Iowa vehicles, and the number of occupants. Automatic traffic recorders were operated for an extended period to collect additional data used in expanding the fifteen hour samples to represent average 24-hour 1968 July weekday traffic volumes. The data obtained in the study are presented in charts and tables included in this report.
