NOTES: Annual delay per traveler-Extra travel time for peak-period travel during the year divided by the number of travelers who begin a trip during the peak period (6 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 7 p.m.). Free-flow speeds (60 mph on freeways and 35 mph on principal arterials) are used as the comparison threshold.

Very large urban areas-over 3 million population. Large urban areas-over 1 million and less than 3 million population. Medium urban areas-over 500,000 and less than 1 million population. Small urban areas-less than 500,000 population.
