After reviewing modeled traffic data, it’s becoming clear the city of Boerne’s most congested intersections may be more difficult to solve than expected.
Kendall County, Boerne and Fair Oaks Transportation Committee members reviewed modeled traffic data, created by committee member Steve Sharma, and it appears very little can be done to reduce congestion at the Herff Road and Highway 46 intersection.
According to Sharma’s model, each vehicle that pulls up to the traffic signal at the busy intersection during the peak morning hours – 7:30-8:30 a.m. – adds about 90 seconds of wait time. Sharma estimated the vehicles backed up along Herff Road to Oak Park Drive are sitting through at least four traffic light cycles during the peak morning hours.
