Figure 7. 2050 Projected Traffic Congestion with Existing + Committed Projects The map to the right depicts the projected congestion levels in 2050 if all of the CTP’s recommended projects are completed and built. The model predicts that building the recommended projects will help reduce the amount of corridors that are close to reaching capacity. For example, Hilltop Needmore and SE Judd Parkway will experience reductions in congestion. The majority of the local roadways in the CTP Planning Area will also experience reduced congestion levels when compared to the 2050 congestion predictions without the recommended projects. N Main Street (US 401) will still experience higher levels of congestion even with the recommended projects being built. It is important to note that given available funding levels, it is unlikely that all CTP projects will be able to be built by 2050, and this figure is illustrative only. Future Congestion The map below depicts the projected congestion levels in 2050 if the existing and committed projects shown in Figure 11 were to be constructed. Compared to current conditions, congestion is expected to increase over the next 26 years. Although congestion is projected to increase, the majority of roadways will still remain below capacity. Congestion is expected to start reaching capacity along key corridors, including Hilltop Needmore Road, N Main Street (US 401), and SE Judd Parkway. The only location expected to experience congestion that is greater than capacity is Banks Road around the intersection with Fayetteville Road (US 401).
