This report presents a method for assessing the loss of mobility on rural highways - a method that can be applied to any corridor in the state. In a specific case study, this report examines traffic trends on rural sections of Interstate 35 between San Antonio and Dallas. For this case study, we recorded average daily traffic data and then forecast traffic patterns for the locations along the Interstate. Using Highway Capacity Manual and the forecast average daily traffic intended to illustrate the problems associated with growing traffic congestion on rural corridors; it also serves as the basis for later reports that specifically discuss corridor solution.
