AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC IN 2020 (number of vehicles per day)
These estimates of vehicles per day on SH 130 and on other area highways and arterials in 2020 all presume that SH 130 will be a free road. The preliminary guesstimates show that a toll-road SH 130 would be carrying up to a third fewer cars; though the numbers haven't been run yet, we can suppose that traffic on the other roads would be correspondingly higher. But even if SH 130 is built as a toll road, it is feasible -- though not terribly likely -- that it would have paid off its bonds and been converted to a free road by 2020.
