Development of Highway Traffic in California
In California, truck traffic in 1920 was 125% of the total number and in 1922, 11.3 percent. In the winter of 1922-23, truck traffic was about 8% of the total, corresponding with an average of about 10% for the whole year 1922-23. On the adjoined county roads, truck traffic was found to be about 11.5% of the yearly total.
By the use of "traffic profiles", which present the typical daily traffic for all the State highway routes, the total annual movement of all traffic on California ' State highways has been computed for 1920 and 1922. For the latter year, it was about 1 500 000 000 vehicle-miles.
A study was made of the characteristics of all truck traffic • and some interesting figures are presented with respect to commodities hauled, overloads, length of haul, speed of operation, etc.
