Also included on the back inside cover of this administration of approximately 7,000 miles of roadway involving large annual report is a copy of the 2003 Washington State Traffic Flow Map. expenditures for planning, design, construction, and maintenance. This requires having reliable and current traffic volume information, vehicle type classification T R I P S (TR ansportation I nformation and P lanning S upport System) information, and travel statistics throughout the state. Data collected by the Washington State Department of Transportation to meet these needs are provided in The roadway information contained within this report is presented using the coding this report at a summary level. scheme employed by the TRIPS mainframe computer system. This system is used by the Transportation Data Office to store, maintain and report information about the Report Contents State Highway system. Within TRIPS, each State Route is uniquely identified using a Related Roadway Type and Qualifier. Related Roadway Types are: The Annual Traffic Report contains Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) volumes for the years 2000 through 2003. The AADT volumes are included only at locations Blank = Mainline AR = Alternate Route where actual traffic counts have been conducted in one or more of the last four years. CO = Couplet RL = Reversible Lane An asterisk or plus sign placed beside a traffic volume signifies that the AADT was SP = Spur HI = Grade Separated HOV Lane -Increasing derived from a traffic count conducted during the year for which the AADT is provided. HD = Grade Separated HOV Lane -Decreasing All other volumes shown in this report are estimates based on traffic counts conducted in prior years and factored to an AADT using patterns from Automated Related Roadway Qualifiers further describe Related Roadway Types. For example: Data Collection (ADC) Stations. Blanks in the traffic volume portion indicate that no 155SPOMAK describes a spur in Omak on State Route 155. Related Roadway traffic volume data is available. Types are listed at the end of the State Route. Note that because estimated AADTs are sometimes revised for accuracy as new data Traffic volumes at mainline State Route locations with couplets are identified by a “C” becomes available, previous years’ traffic volumes provided in this report may not printed under the column heading “COUPLET”. In most cases traffic volumes at always reflect those found in previous publications. these locations, as well as on the couplets themselves, represent a single direction of travel. Couplet sketches are included in the back of the report. This report also provides truck percentages derived from data collected at ADC Stations. This information is based on from nine to twelve months of data (depending The state functional class of the highway is listed at each location. Functional classes on availability), and represents estimated annual percentages for the locations they are: are provided for. Truck percentages are separated in to three types: single, double, and triple units. Single units consist of two- and three-axle trucks and buses. Double 1 = Principal Arterial 3 = Collector units consist of trucks with a trailer. Triple units consist of trucks with trailer 2 = Minor Arterial 5 = Interstate combinations. The total truck percentage will not always match the sum of each truck type since percentages are stored electronically rounded to the nearest hundredth, The leg identification for traffic volume data is found in the location’s description. At but provided in this report rounded to the nearest whole percent. intersections the leg is defined as before or after, based on the increasing direction of mileposts.

The charts on this page depict hourly traffic fluctuations at Typical 24-Hour Traffic Volume Distribution representative rural locations on three primary highways used for moving freight I-82 West of Exit 122 (South of Tri-Cities) within Washington State. The charts compare the traffic volumes of large 1200 trucks and other vehicles during weekday (Tuesday through Thursday) and weekend (Saturday and Sunday) conditions. Each chart is based on April 2003 1000 data, with this month being chosen for analysis purposes because traffic volumes in April tend to provide particularly good representations of annual 800 averages. 600 The charts indicate that while other types of traffic are considerably reduced Volume during the late hours of the night, large truck traffic continues much less abated. 400 This is due to the long distances that are often traveled and because long-haul 200 truckers have economic incentives to drive during the least congested periods of the day. Additionally, the interconnection between trucking and the other 0 components of the nation’s system for distributing goods, such as rail and 24681012141618202224 shipping, frequently require cargo to be picked up and delivered at times that do Hour not fall within a typical workday.

  • Coastal Rivers - Special Rules
    Puget Sound and Coastal Rivers - Special Rules With various fish populations across the state being listed under the Endangered SpeciesAct, WDFW must provide as much protection as possible for all life stages of these populations, in particular for rearing juveniles. For many years, the standard stream rule opened rivers, streams, and beaver ponds to fishing for Game Fish from the first Saturday in June – October 31, with an 8" minimum size, 2 fish/day limit. Consequently, much of the juvenile rearing habitat for resident trout and Dolly Varden and anadromous salmon, steelhead, cutthroat, and Bull Trout was open for fishing. As a result, these juvenile salmonids were at risk of being incidentally caught and may have not survived being handled and released, especially if bait was used. In 2010 we adopted a new management strategy that offered additional protection to stocks in streams draining into Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. In 2012 this strategy was extended to the Coast. The basic rule in these waters is that all rivers, streams, and beaver ponds are CLOSED to fishing unless they are listed in the following tables within the Puget Sound, Strait, and Coastal River sections of the pamphlet (see pages 23-51). These tables detail ALL of the fishing opportunity in these drainages. Areas open to fisheries are presented by river system unless the waters drain directly to salt water. All other waters in these drainages are closed to fishing. Beaver ponds located within or connected to streams listed as open toTROUT and Other Game Fish follow the same rules as the stream unless otherwise listed.
