DATE: 11/3/16
SUBJECT: Traffic Observations for U of A Parking Lot
On Friday, September 30, 2016, Monday October 31, 2016 and Wednesday November 2, 2016,
City of Fayetteville Engineering staff gathered data on traffic exiting the newly constructed
University of Arkansas parking lot on Razorback Road. The parking lot is located between
Center Street and Hotz Drive, west of Razorback Road. The movements that were observed
were east and west bound at the Meadow Street intersection with Razorback Rd., turns in and
out of the newly constructed portion of Graham Ave., and north turning movements off of Center
street west of Graham onto Palmer and Hartman Avenues. The observation occurred from 3:00
to 5:00 p.m. on 9/30 and at 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. and 1 :00 to 2:00 p.m. on 10/31 and 11/2.
During the a.m. times observed, there were a total of 162 vehicles that entered the parking lot.
63 of these vehicles entered on Meadow Street from Razorback Road. The remaining 99
vehicles entered from the south on Graham Avenue from Center Street. Of these 99 vehicles,
46 were coming from the east from Razorback Road, 45 were coming from the south on
Graham Street, and 9 were coming from the west on Center Street from Palmer or Hartman.
During the p.m. times observed, there were a total of 315 vehicles that exited the parking lot.
166 of these vehicles exited on Meadow Street to Razorback Road. The remaining 149
vehicles left to the south on Graham Avenue to Center Street. Of these 149 vehicles, 63
headed east to Razorback Road, 58 continued south on Graham Avenue and 28 turned west on
Center Street. 8 of these 28 west bound vehicles were observed to turn north from Center
Street onto Palmer or Hartman Avenues.
In addition to the parking lot traffic, there were 66 vehicles that turned west onto Center Street
from the north bound lanes of Razorback Road. Of these 66 west bound vehicles, 12 turned
north from Center Street onto Palmer or Hartman Avenues.
Based on the data gathered, the following conclusions have been made:
1) 53% of the vehicles leaving the parking lot are going directly onto Razorback Road by
Meadow Street, 47% exit to Center Street.
2) 73% of the vehicles leaving the parking lot end up on Razorback Road by either
Meadow Street or Center Street.
3) 9% of the vehicles leaving the parking lot turn west onto Center Street.
4) 8 of the vehicles leaving the parking lot going west on Center Street turn north onto
Palmer or Hartman Avenues, which is less than 3% of the total number of vehicles
leaving the parking lot.

6) 67% of the vehicles entering the parking lot come from Razorback Road by either
Meadow Street or Center Street.
7) Less than 6% of the vehicles entering the parking lot come from the west on Center from
Palmer or Hartman.
