Appendices MIAMI-DADE LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE TO THE YEAR 2040 EYES ON THE FUTURE | E-3 Congestion and Mobility Bene ts Costs Implementation Timeframe • Improve travel time • Reduce the number of stops • Reduce VMT by vehicle miles per day, depending on program • Reduce VHD and PHT • Reduced air pollut ion, fuel consumption and travel time • Increase "capacity" of an intersection to handle vehicles, reduced number of vehicle strategies L • Short -term: 1 to 5 years (includes planning, engineering, and implementation) • Decrease travel time • Decrease accidents • Impro ve traffic flow on major facilities • Improved speed on freeway • Decreased crash rate on freeway L • Medium -term: 5 to 10 years • Reduce travel times and delay • Some peak -period travel shift L • Medium -term: 5 to 10 years • Reduce travel times and delay • Some peak -period travel and mode shift L • Medium -term: 5 to 10 years • Improve travel time • Decrease the number of stops L • Short -term: 1 to 5 years • Minimize tra c delays • Improve mobility • Mainta in access for businesses and residents L • Short -term: 1 to 5 years • Improve safety due to reduced crash risk • Increased mobility due to restored capacity, delay reductions, and more uniform traffic flow L • Short-term: 1 to 5 years • Reduced l evel of driver uncertainty and fewer erratic driving maneuvers • Reduced delay for upstream approaching vehicles • Psychological encouragement to unsure motorists • Less chance of crashes caused by sudden lane changes, extremely slow-moving vehicles or sudden stops L Short-term • Production of signs and installation can occur shortly after site visits and design of new signing plans. Design should follow the guidance of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). • Air Quality Bene t Medium • Positive user impacts L • 1 to 2 years • Reduce accident delay • Reduce travel time • Decrease VHT and PHT M • Medium - to Long-term: likely 10 years or more • Reduce incident duration time • Restore full freeway capacity • Reduce the risks of secondary accidents to motorists M • Short -term: 1 to 5 years • Increase tra c ow M • Short -term: 1 to 5 years (includes planning, engineering, and implementation) • Decrease travel times and delay • Some peak -period travel and mode shift M •Medium -term: 5 to 10 years • Fewer vehicle stops and less traveler delay at toll stations • Cost savings due to no (or fewer) toll booth f acilities or lanes • Significant decrease in pollutant emissions from stop -and-go traffic at toll booths/plazas M Short- to medium-term: • Physical implementation of electronic toll collection equipment can be completed in a short time period for a roadway, unless additional right-of-way is needed
