Travel Drops
Travel on Virginia’s major highways dropped again in October, according to the State Department of Highways and Transportation.
The October decline was 3.1 per cent compared to the same month a year ago. It was the fifth consecutive month that travel in Virginia declined.
Travel by passenger cars decreased 3.1 per cent, with out-of-state cars showing a 6.8 per cent drop from October, 1978. Commercial travel declined three per cent. Weekend travel showed about a 5.2 per cent decline from 1978.
An analysis of the data showed a significant difference between day and night travel. The 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. counts reflect a much greater decrease, about 6.5 per cent, from 1978 volumes than those registered during the 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. period.
The data is collected from some 200 counting stations located on interstate, arterial and primary highways throughout the state.
