This same census was made again for like periods of time in August and October in 1912, and again this year (1915).
Strana 67 - CENSUS. The commission believes that it is most important to have an accurate knowledge of the traffic which any particular road has to carry. The road must be so designed, built and maintained that it shall be at all times in proper condition to bear the traffic to which it may be subjected, and not only at the least cost to the user, but also at the least ultimate cost to the taxpayers, taking everything into account, viz., interest, sinking fund, yearly maintenance and occasional resurfacing....

Strana 62 - ... the tremendous increase in automobile traffic, and with the use of heavy motor trucks for long distances to and from the larger cities, the question of maintenance becomes of vital importance. Some State highways are now twenty years old. Their average age is ten years. Naturally, they are rapidly becoming worn out, and are not strong enough to withstand the heavy modern traffic. Very many miles of road that were formerly built of macadam or gravel, from 12 to 15 feet in width, and from 4 to...
Strana 67 - The Massachusetts Highway Commission in 1909 had a census taken upon the State highways at 238 stations, scattered throughout the State; and in 1912 a similar traffic count made at 156 stations. While the count in 1912 was taken at fewer points than in 1909, it was felt that the percentages of increase and decrease could safely be used to indicate the traffic on other similar roads. A traffic census was also taken at the same time at quite a number of points around the city of Boston on roadways...
