Truck Movements

In addition, the existing freight movements of the Statewide Analysis Model Version 4 (SAMV4) were explored to provide a depiction of truck travel on roadways for the Temple region. The table below show the magnitude of truck flows on the model (SAMV4) roadways. As shown, I-35 is the dominant corridor for truck travel, though other roadways do show notable truck flows. We compared this information to Transearch tonnage and truck flows and saw an identical pattern regarding which roadways were being used by trucks.

Table 30 summarizes the roadways in the Temple Subarea with notable truck percentages according to the SAMV4.
