...summary, it can be concluded that, on a May weekday from 4 to 5 p.m. (a time during which the area experiences its highest total existing traffic flow), even the highest projection of Library generated traffic will not have a measurable effect on the traffic operations of any individual roadway or the entire street network. On an August Saturday the increase in total traffic due to the Library is more pronounced, but since the combined traffic volumes on the entire network will still be lower than the existing volumes on a typical non-summer Saturday, minimal effect on intersection operations...
...objective of the impact analysis was to evaluate the maximum carbon monoxide levels which could arise as a consequence of both adverse meteorological conditions and peak roadway traffic. Although motor vehicles are also major contributors to community nitrogen oxides and reactive hydrocarbon emissions, these species participate in a series of complex photochemical reactions for which the current atmospheric diffusion modeling technology does not permit preparation of reliable estimates of projected concentration levels. Therefore, emphasis was placed principally on carbon monoxide concentration levels as this pollutant is relatively inert. In addition, carbon monoxide is the pollutant emitted in the largest quantities...
...protest, farmers throughout the country have been creating havoc. On the major highway to Spain, a thousand fruit growers dumped tons of pears onto the roadway, creating a twelve-mile traffic jam. In Le Havre, Norman peasants stopped dockers from unloading beef from an Argentine ship and, in a variation of the old Boston Tea Party, threw tons of the meat into the Channel. In other areas farmers hung dead chickens in front of local officials' homes, let pigs and cattle loose in village streets, and even halted the sacrosanct Tour de France bicycle race by covering the road...
