How many cars contain one person traveling?
24=one occupant/driver
11=more than one occupant
6=cyclists
Time 1000-1300
Place Portsmouth/Hilsea/NorthEnd
Journey 3 miles
Date 8 September 2010 (Wednesday)
35 cars. More efficient usage could have taken this down to about 18 cars, this level of sole occupant usage is bad news for a congested city such as Portsmouth. Basically single occupancy cars use such a high proportion of the road 'resource'. Its not fair.
15% cycling usage. Well, it is raining, probably explains the low turnout.
Methodology:
Count (1) private cars with one occupant, (2) cars with more than one occupant, (3) cyclists, all in the oncoming lane.
Do not count commercial/working vehicles (vans, taxis, cars with stuff written on them).
