Route

Displays the route currently selected for creation or editing.

Name

Enter an optional name for the route. If entered, this name will also be displayed in the Route drop-down box.

Add Route

The user must first click the Add Route button to add a route to the Route drop-down box before a route can be drawn.

Delete Route

Deletes the currently displayed route.

Edit Route Plan Data

Brings up a dialog box for entry/editing of AADT, PHF, directional distribution factor, turns from exclusive lanes, medians, and level of service. These are used in the HCM Planning Method.

Duplicate Route

Creates a copy of the current route, which is useful if two slightly different routes are to be specified. The duplicate route can be edited to form the second route.

Direction

Specify the route’s direction. Eight choices are possible - one for each of the four cardinal directions (one-way analysis) and two each for the North-South and East-West direction pairs (two-way analysis). These direction choices affect the labels and layout of the route analysis reports. If a one-way direction is chosen (North, South, East, West), it will be used to determine the directional label on the route output reports (e.g., Northbound, Southbound, etc.) and the report will only contain results for that direction of travel on the street involved. If a two-way direction is chosen (North-South, South-North, East-West, West-East), both directions of travel will be reported. The first direction reported will be the first direction listed by the chosen direction (e.g., North-South will result in a Northbound report first, followed by a Southbound report, etc.) Note that if a one-way direction is chosen, links in only one direction along the route must be selected. If links in both directions are selected, TRAFFIX will notify the user of the error before proceeding to the next route or before leaving the Edit Routes mode.

Method

Specify the analysis methodology to be used. Toggles between the HCM Operations and Planning LOS calculation methods.

Evaluate

Indicates whether the route is to be selected for evaluation or not. “Yes” means that a level of service analysis will be performed; “No” means that a level of service analysis will not be performed.
