Described within the report are the findings of an inventory and analysis of the transportation facilities of Calhoun County, Michigan. Transportation facilities within the county were inventoried to identify and evaluate the basic network of roads and streets serving the population. Automobile travel characteristics were evaluated as to volumes, accidents, hazards, congestion and trip desires. Other modes of transportation such as public transit, motor freight, rail and air were also inventoried to identify the total existing transportation facilities. In an effort to evaluate the adequacy of the present thoroughfare system and gain a general picture of future needs to serve the anticipated volume of traffic, a classified roadway system was established. Then a sufficiency rating was developed to bring out points of deficiency and areas of needed improvements. The conflict of rail traffic with motor vehicle traffic is considered as one of the more serious problems of the county. Railroad crossing exposure factors were developed, and warranted crossing protection facilities were delineated. (Author)
