Also in order to grasp the present traffic volume on the access roads to the port, traffic surveys were conducted at intersections. ࡮Survey points Survey points are shown in Figure 3.3-4. ࡮Survey times The section traffic survey on the Trinidad tollgate was conducted for 24 hours (From 6 a.m. to 6 a.m. to the next day), and other all surveys were conducted for 14 hours (From 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.) ࡮Survey method The traffic volume was counted by vehicle type every hour. Also, the origin, destination and number of passengers were asked for all types of vehicles, and truck drivers were asked what cargo they were carrying. 3-17 JUAN MANUEL FRUTOS HERNANDARIAS MARISCAL LOPEZ JUAN LEON MALLORQUIN CAAGUAZU YGUAZU CIUDAD DEL ESTE JUAN E OLEARY MINGA GUAZU J EULOGIO ESTIGARRIBIA JOSE DOMINGO OCAMPOS !P Pto.

Observed peak traffic volumes northbound (from Encarnación to Ciudad del Este) were 114 and 112 veh/hour in the morning and afternoon peak periods, with trucks accounting for 18% and 25%, respectively. Also, southbound traffic (Ciudad del Este to Encarnación) was 98 and 115 veh/hour in morning and afternoon peak periods, and the ratio of trucks was 15% and 12%, respectively. Northbound and southbound traffic for 14-hour periods was 1,224 and 1,077 veh/14hours, 3-18 respectively, and 24-hour traffic was 1,362 and 1,217 veh/day, respectively.
