The latest construction project on the Gardiner Expressway — a major transportation route which is traveled by approximately 140,000 vehicles each day — has already made an impact on driving time and emissions. A Geotab ITS study on commercial vehicle traffic on the Gardiner reveals that recent slowdowns due to construction are having an impact on business productivity in Toronto: Gardiner Traffic Hot Spots (CNW Group/Geotab Inc. and Geotab ITS) Travel times on the Gardiner have increased up to 250% in the morning rush hour and 230% in the afternoon rush hour. Commercial drivers are spending 80% more time driving per day on the Gardiner. Emissions have increased 23% due to the extra driving time (an additional 1,200 kg of CO2 per day). The amount of traffic traveling less than 25 km/hr has doubled. The top three alternate roads have seen an average traffic increase of 43%.

We’re continuing to monitor traffic levels and review the diversions in place following the closure of the A167 flyover. However, there are currently no plans to reopen the Askew Road bus lane to other vehicles as traffic monitoring suggests that this would actually increase congestion. The traffic lights at the eastern end of Askew Road are automated to only turn green when buses are waiting, which keeps A167 traffic flowing on the approach to the Tyne Bridge for the majority of the time. Reopening this part of Askew Road to cars and other vehicles would mean increasing the duration of green light phases, which in turn would extend the duration of red light phases on the A167. As the majority of traffic heading for the Tyne Bridge comes from the east and the south, we would expect this to mean queues along the Felling Bypass and back to the stadium. It would also make it more difficult for buses to have a quick onward journey into Newcastle and keep to timetable, at a time when bus travel is particularly crucial for keeping the network moving.

More drama on the proposal for rail on the BeltLine in Atlanta. Solid report from the great Tyler Wilkins. Several facts remain: -- Professionals have studied this before, and rail was determined to be the best option. It would help support the urban core's inevitable growth in infill development so that more trips to the grocery store, office, etc. can be taken on the streetcar rather than a personal vehicle. -- Autonomous pods don't really move people at scale, which is what's needed along the fast-growing corridor. Those scooters aren't cutting it either. -- Construction will be expensive, time-consuming and disruptive. The city also has plenty of other important funding needs. -- Those tradeoffs exist with highways too but rarely if ever kill the project. https://lnkd.in/ea4_qacq

We are pleased to announce the kickoff of our new research project, Balancing Freight and Goods Delivery Needs in Designing Complete Streets. Funded by the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (#NCHRP) of the Transportation Research Board (TRB), this project will develop national guidelines to help cities design and build Complete Streets that integrate #freight #operations. This project aims to improve safety and accessibility for all users — pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders, motorists, and freight vehicles — while supporting cities in addressing the increasing complexities of #ecommerce, curbside delivery, and autonomous #technologies, contributing to the creation of more resilient and livable urban environments. https://lnkd.in/gVmB2gPD #transportation #urbanplanning #CompleteStreets #mobility #urbanmobility #goodsmovement

Impressive engineering innovation is on display in Switzerland, where a mobile overpass bridge is revolutionizing road work by allowing construction to proceed seamlessly without disrupting traffic flow. This cutting-edge solution not only minimizes inconvenience for commuters but also showcases the country's commitment to efficiency and infrastructure development. The mobile overpass bridge enables road maintenance and construction crews to work above live traffic, eliminating the need for road closures or detours. This innovative approach ensures that vehicles can continue to move smoothly while essential repairs and upgrades are carried out overhead. #engineering #innovation #technology #technologies #traffic #road #roads #highway #traffic #trafficflow #vehicle #vehicles #upgrades #swiss #switzerland

1 A passenger car may be selected when the main traffic generator is a parking lot or series of parking lots. 2 A two-axle single-unit truck may be used for intersection design of residential streets and park roads. 3 A three-axle single-unit truck may be used for the design of collector streets and other facilities where larger single-unit trucks are likely. 4 A city transit bus may be used in the design of state highway intersections with city streets that are designated bus routes and that have relatively few large trucks using them. #HighwayEngineering #TransportationEngineering #CivilEngineering

Griffiths Farrans JV has reached a significant milestone on a transformational public transport project at Bristol Airport, celebrating the topping out of its state-of-the-art multi-storey car park and public transport interchange. As part of Bristol Airport's largest-ever capital investment, the £60m project is set to revolutionize customer accessibility and sustainability, offering over 2,000 parking spaces, advanced vehicle restraint systems, and cutting-edge facilities. The top level will feature a dedicated Drop Off and Pick-up location with seamless access to the terminal via a glazed pedestrian bridge. Griffiths Farrans JV and Bristol Airport have also prioritized sustainability by recycling over 100,000 tonnes of material on-site and minimizing environmental impact throughout the project. This endeavor highlights innovation in construction, including trialing Volvo’s zero-emission EC230 electric excavator. With levels one to three completed and level four nearing completion, the project is progressing on schedule and set to open next summer.
