The Regional Transportation System

levels on regional roadways. The growth in traffic volumes over the past 30+ years has been particularly evident on the Beltline and Interstate route system and on the radial arterials beyond this system leading into the Madison area (e.g., USH 151, USH 18/151, USH 12/18, USH 14, and CTH S). The traffic growth was fastest during the 1980s, but it continued to grow until the past several years with the downturn in the economy, the amount of land use development, and higher gas prices. Traffic on most cross-Isthmus arterials has not increased significantly in the past couple of decades with the exception of East Washington Avenue. This is due in part to the lack of employment growth in the downtown area and also to the congestion on these roadways, which has diverted traffic to other routes, particularly the Beltline.

Figure 12 shows the arterial roadway segments that are congested during peak periods in the metropolitan area based on 2006 traffic count data and roadway capacities in the MPO’s regional travel model. There are 229 center lane miles of arterial roadways that are congested and 74 miles that are very congested based on this 2006 data. Much of the congestion and delay

Streets/Roadways and BridgesThe arterial roadway system in the Madison metropolitan area consists of high traffic volume roadways leading into the central Isthmus area in a radial pattern from a circumferential Beltline and Interstate route system. The arterial system also includes several north-south roadways (e.g., Stoughton Rd./USH 51 on the east side and Midvale Blvd. and Gammon Rd. on the west side), completing the network of arterial roadways in the area.

The roadway system is classified into four groups of roadways according to their function, traffic volumes, and the type of service they provide. The four classes are: principal arterials, minor arterials, collectors, and local roadways. Principal arterials are further subdivided into the Interstate system, other freeways, and others. The roadway system is also divided into two groups—urban and rural—based on whether or not the roadway is located within the urban area of a metropolitan area. The functional classification provides a basis for receipt of federal transportation funding. Figure 11 shows the current functional classification of regional roadways in the county, which was approved in 2004. Following the U.S. Census Bureau’s release in 2012 of the new 2010 urbanized area boundaries and the designation of the new adjusted Madison urban area and planning area boundaries by the MPO, the MPO will update the regional roadway functional classification system.

Traffic Growth and Congestion

The growth in households, population, and employment discussed above has led to increasing traffic volumes and congestion

on signalized urban arterial streets occurs at intersections. Figure 12 also shows the intersections that have been identified as most congested both in terms of vehicular traffic and other user conflicts, creating delay for motor vehicles, transit buses, and other users.

The downturn in the economy and the record high price of gasoline in 2008 resulted in a 4.3% decrease in vehicle miles of travel (VMT) in Dane County according to WisDOT estimates. VMT started to increase again in 2009 and 2010, but has yet to reach the same level as 2006. From 2000 to 2006, VMT had increased an average of about 1.5% per year. Table 14 shows estimated VMT in Dane County from 2000 to 2010.

The county VMT estimates prepared by WisDOT are based on the calculation of a state VMT control total based on gasoline sales (and fleet fuel efficiency). County estimates are calculated based on changes in traffic counts from automated traffic recorders, available traffic counts on state highways and local roadways, and an estimation of “remainder” VMT on local roadways where counts aren’t available. MPO staff has developed a methodology for calculating the average weekday VMT on the collector and arterial roadway system within the City of Madison using actual and imputed traffic counts multiplied by the roadway segment length. The City of Madison collects traffic counts on about half of the system each year. The estimated 2010 weekday VMT on this system within the city was 4,738,100, almost the same as in 2009.

Dane County Motor Vehicle Crashes by Severity: 2005-2010Table 15

332035 Regional Transportation Plan Update March 2012

Safety

There were a total of almost 8,700 motor vehicle crashes (excluding deer crashes) in Dane County in 2010, including 2,498 injury crashes and 33 fatal crashes. The total number of crashes was up 3% from 2009 and the number of total injury crashes was up 0.7%. The number of crashes has fluctuated since 2005. Table 15 on page 32 shows the number of motor vehicle crashes by severity in Dane County from 2005-2010.

The City of Madison Traffic Engineering Division prepares an annual crash report with statistics, maps, charts, and tables

Pavement conditions

Pavement management allows transportation agency staff to maintain the condition of roadways and reduce pavement maintenance costs through year-to-year monitoring of pavements and facilitating predictions of when to cost effectively undertake roadway preservation work. The Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating (PASER) system is used to assist local communities in evaluating the condition of roadways and setting priorities for road maintenance, repair, and reconstruction. PASER ratings follow a scale of 1-10:

summarizing common factors for crashes, high crash locations, historical trends, and other information. The report is based on a review of “reportable” crashes or crashes that meet statutory requirements for reporting by the state. Crashes are mapped and reviewed by type and other factors such as time of day and weather conditions. The information, including detailed crash diagrams, is used to assist engineers in planning strategies to reduce crashes and identifying possible engineering solutions at specific locations. WisDOT also has a similar program to review crash reports on state highways to identify locations with higher than average crash rates. More detailed crash data analysis is also included as part of corridor studies.

WisDOT uses a more sophisticated pavement evaluation system that includes three different measures. Its Pavement Distress Index (PDI) is the rating most similar to the PASER system.

Table 16 and Figure 13 show the 2009 pavement condition of the local and state arterial and collector roadway system within the Madison Metropolitan Planning Area. Approximately 36% of the local arterial and collector system has a PASER rating of 8-10, 57% has a rating of 5-7, and 7% is rated 4 or below.

Compared to 2005, the percentage of the local system in the best pavement condition category decreased somewhat from 40% to 36% with a corresponding increase in the

CTH K (CTH M to CTH Q), Monona Drive (Broadway to Pflaum), Femrite Drive (Marsh to I-39/90), Lake St.—all in the worst pavement condition category—were resurfaced or reconstructed in 2010 or 2011. Williamson St. was also just reconstructed. Other local roadways in the worst category with preservation work programmed include University Avenue (Allen Blvd. to Segoe), Monona Drive (Pflaum to Cottage Grove Rd.), Branch Street, CTH N (CTH BB to W. Oak St.), and W. Old Sauk Road in the Town of Middleton. McKee Rd./CTH PD (Maple Grove to CTH M) is scheduled for reconstruction in 2016.

Almost all state roadways are classified as arterials. The overall pavement condition

of state roadways is better than the local arterial/collector roadway system. About 72% of the state system is in the best pavement condition, 22% in the middle category, and 7% in the worst condition. Resurfacing of Interstate 94 east of CTH N and reconstruction of STH 113 in Madison, both in the worst category, were done in 2010-‘11. Interstate 39/90 south of Madison and USH 14 between Madison and Oregon were both resurfaced in 2011. The Interstate projects will substantially increase the percentage of that system in the best category. State roadways in the worst category with preservation work or complete reconstruction programmed include USH 151/East Washington Avenue

(Thierer to E. Springs), STH 19/Main St. in Waunakee, and USH 51 north of STH 19.

Overall, WisDOT and local agencies are doing an excellent job of maintaining the arterial and collector roadway system.

Bridge conditions

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has developed a system for rating the sufficiency of bridges, which indicates the bridge’s sufficiency to remain in service. A sufficiency rating below 80 qualifies structures for Federal Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program funding. WisDOT maintains records of bridge sufficiency data only for structures exceeding 20 feet in length. According to WisDOT, in 2010 a total of 76 bridge structures in Dane County had a sufficiency rating below 80 compared to 83 in 2005. See Table 17. The 76 bridge structures had an average length of 104 feet, and a combined length of 1.51 miles.

Two of these bridges are posted for maximum allowable loads: Hoepker Road bridge over I-39/90/94 in Madison; and the Dyreson Road bridge over the Yahara River located south of the Village of McFarland. The Hoepker Road bridge, which had the lowest structure rating at 22.5, is programmed for replacement and

expansion in 2016. The Dyreson Road bridge is programmed for replacement in 2012. Of the other 74 bridges with a rating below 80, 14 of those structures are currently programmed for rehabilitation or, in most cases, bridge replacement. These include:

• I-39/90/94 (USH 51) • I-39/90 (Saunders Creek) • STH 19 (Token Creek) • Milwaukee Street (E. Branch Starkweather Creek) • CTH B (Yahara River) • CTH F (Ryan Creek) (Outer area) • CTH M (Chicago and North Western Railroad) • CTH P (Black Earth Creek) (Outer area) • CTH PB (Sugar River) • CTH V/North St. (Yahara River) (Outer area) • Lacy Road (Swan Creek) • Elder Lane (Maunesha River) (Outer area) • Fritz Road (Flynn Creek) (Outer area) • Russet Road (Maunesha River) (Outer area)

The Milwaukee Street bridge over Interstate 39/90 is currently scheduled for replacement in 2019. The Cuba Valley Road bridge over Interstate 39/90 is scheduled for a deck replacement in 2021.
