Comparison of traffic volume, speed, headways and density on two bridges across Delaware River of comparable overall width indicated that seven 11-ft, 3-in. lanes of Walt Whitman Bridge carried 20% more traffic per lane than eight 9-ft, 8 3/4-in. lanes of Benjamin Franklin Bridge; stop-motion pictures taken at 1-sec intervals from towers of each bridge permitted mechanical calculation of volume, speeds and other operating characteristics which indicated significant improvements in traffic capacity; lateral placement, average operating speeds and headways for wide lanes are compared.
