Most visitors experience national parks using their personal automobiles, but what is the capacity of park roads to accommodate this use? A simulation model of a national park scenic road was built to explore the road's social carrying capacity and service quality. Current and potential future vehicle use levels were compared in the simulation against visitor-reported standards for congestion. Social carrying capacities for the road were derived from the simulation model results - both with and without an alternative management approach applied. These social carrying capacities suggest that traditional transportation planning concepts need to be reevaluated when applied to scenic or experiential roads.
