Abstract: This paper presents some of the results of traffic studies pertaining to the Maine and Pennsylvania Turnpikes made by the Bureau of Public Roads (United States Department of Commerce) in cooperation with state highway departments under a joint highway-planning program. State agencies regularly supply the federal bureau with detailed information on traffic over various turnpikes and with monthly traffic counts on other roads. For several of the turnpikes, comprehensive studies were made in which the origins and destinations of trips were determined. Analyses of the volume counts and trip origins and destinations are attempted herein in order to provide information on the diversion, generation, and growth of traffic.
