High-Resolution Images
Notes
High-volume truck portions of the National Highway System carry more than 8,500 trucks per day, including freight-hauling long-distance trucks, freight hauling local trucks, and other trucks with six or more tires. Highly congested segments are stop-and go conditions with volume/service flow ratios greater than 0.95. Congested segment have reduced traffic speeds with volume/service flow ratios between 0.75 and 0.95. The volume/service flow ration is estimated using the procedures outlined in the HPMS Field Manual Appendix N.
