Average Travel Speeds/Times on Arterial Streets

Traffic volume weighted average travel time (in minutes/mile) on City streets including Harmony, Horsetooth, Drake, Prospect, Mulberry, Taft Hill, Shields, College, Lemay, and Timberline during the p.m. peak period on weekdays.

-Q4-2023 travel times were up 5.26% compared to the Q4-2022 travel times.

-Q4-2023 travel times were up 5.26% compared to the previous 5 year average for Q4.

Increased travel times are a direct result of several major construction projects (Taft Hill waterline, Shields St gas line, and other major arterial closures for paving projects). Similar major impacts are expected in the next year as these projects continue and the intersection project at College/Trilby kicks off.
