| Abstract | he project herein, is for the deployment of a traffic management system on New Mexico 68, Riverside Drive, in the City of Española. This project improved traffic flow through this rural community and increased safety along the principal arterial. The project limits are Executive Summary: "US 84/285 on the south, and Valley Dr. on the north. The project need was initially identified by severe congestion along Riverside Drive that has gradually increased over the past 10 years. The situation initiated a study to relieve traffic congestion on NM 68 through the City of Española. The study was based on existing traffic reports that indicated that a traffic management system could cost effectively reduce congestion and provide traffic benefits to the corridor and the community. This ITS deployment of a traffic management system has mitigated the immediate need for a relief route. In addition, the system has reduced the rate of overall crashes, travel time delays and variability, and increase freeway and arterial throughput. Furthermore, it has had a positive impact lessening vehicle emissions and energy consumption, with great benefits for local drivers and those passing through the corridor to a destination outside the immediate area." |
