Slide 26 – The ramp from 413 S to RT 1. How many drivers will use this ramp? If they are coming from Newtown, they will head towards the Maple Ave interchange. Why is this ramp necessary? Same thing with the 413 N to RT 1 S ramp. If I’m in Penndel, I’m not going to go north to this interchange, I’m going to take Business 1 towards Bensalem. This is massively overbuilt infrastructure which will not see the usage it was constructed for.

JMT completed an origin-destination analysis to determine how many vehicles would be expected to take the proposed SR 413 interchange. It is anticipated that 255 vehicles would take the northbound interchange ramp to exit US 1, and 355 vehicles would take the southbound interchange ramp to exit Route 1 during the PM Peak hour. These volumes are similar to the volumes that the existing slip ramps near Bellevue Avenue currently experience.
