Question 8 Programming & Analysis mock up exam
Hey, can someone help me understand why the correct answer is B? It looks like there are more cars driving by location C.

Hi.
Most of the cars are heading from the right to the left in the morning, and since the cars cannot turn left, B is the only choice where you could continue on your way (since you cannot make left hand turns) because none of the building locations are right on the corner.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
The arrows and numbers indicate how many cars are traveling past that point going that direction. The PM chart is really irrelevant because the coffee shop is not open past noon. So we’re just looking at the top one. And she actually highlighted.that 779 + 233 are traveling towards the left down Main St from Fourth. So those folks would not have to go far to get to coffee shop B. And it looks like 597 cars are going right past the coffee shop at 8 AM with the coffee shop on the right hand side. Since they can’t go left when they’re leaving, they can go right and be at the intersection that’s less than half a block away and from that intersection turn left or right or go straight, most continuing on their way in the same direction of travel. Locations A & C would mean that most of the drivers couldn’t continue in the direction that they were headed, because they cannot turn left.
Hope this helps!

The directional arrows indicate the direction of vehicle traffic/travel and the number indicates the amount of vehicles heading in that direciton.
For example, at the highlighted portions, vehicle traffic during the AM peak hour shows 436 vehicles traveling W-E on Main Boulevard passing by Third Street, while 97 coming S-N from Third Street are turning onto Main Boulevard; 779 vehicles are turning right onto Main Boulevard from the N-S Fourth Street approach heading E-W, while 223 vehicles approach going S-N that are heading E-W.
The analysis shows the density and direction of traffic during these peak hours to assist in determining the site that will maximize the program (coffee shop w/ drive thru, open 5am-12pm) and understand the existing conditions (traffic patterns, median preventing non-intersection left turns).
