In this project the main focus is to investigate the topic of "is there more private traffic than commercial traffic on Good Luck Road due to the land usage along the road?
Good Luck Road is a road system that connects both College Park and New Carrollton, further surrounded by institutions and other road systems leading to both DC, Virginia, and other cities. The road is located in Riverdale, MD, a town in Prince Georges County. The road’s geographical coordinates are (latitude) 38° 58' N / 76° 54' W (longitude). The general characteristic of Good Luck Road is a wide road with at least four or more neighborhoods surrounding it, in addition to Parkdale High School, local malls, a University, and so on connecting other road ways. The

The visual representations of the two give an idea of what would be the expectancy of traffic. Due to that so, Good Luck road would have more private because its majority environment is consumer oriented while its minority resides within its connected transportation to business oriented communities. This could be exemplified in the many neighborhoods that surround Good Luck Road, which would influence more stores, markets, and shopping malls that wouldn’t be of institutions that cater to a workforce but a specific community of amenities and other sustainable attributes. In that, there would be more private traffic to meet these needs. Another factor that affects the private traffic is the productivity within the workforce in the area because a specific company would require a specific car or if promoted to such height, it can also be known as a car that was paid by the company. But yet, the environments that connect a specific road way to another community affect its traffic as well.
In relation to DC, the environment is likely to have an equal occurrence of both kinds of traffic private because of how many big productions and companies that dwell within the business district and then the small institutions that share the neighborhood’s direct interest. In consideration of how equally big both
The addition of 44 houses will roughly add another 88 cars to the traffic flow of the area. With the additional cars added to the small road an emergency could end up being fatal if people could not go and come quickly, which could also then force another road to be built. With more traffic close to two schools there is also a greater risk of children getting hit by cars crossing streets and roads.
Impact: This is import because further, well-maintained roads, coupled with access to public transportation and other driving alternatives, can lower traffic congestion and accident rates which not only save Americans time and money but also save
Late 20th century Los Angeles, California was a bustling, diverse, and segregated city. Both El Norte (1983) and Falling Down (1993) depict Los Angeles in revealing ways. Falling Down in particular has many shots of the city itself; in fact, the first scene in the film takes place in a classic LA traffic jam on the highway. It shows cars lined up and not moving on the highway as far as the eye can see, with construction going on around them. It is also very hot in LA. The people are sweating, it’s sunny outside, bugs are flying around, and there are palm trees around the highway. Similarly, one of the last shots in El Norte shows a busy highway with the LA skyline in the background. That shot with the skyscrapers, cars driving quickly by, and palm trees is one of the most iconic images of LA in either film.
Why do you think McCarthy has chosen not to give his characters names? How do the generic labels of “the man” and “the boy” affect the way you /readers relate to them?
Many communities a part of metro Atlanta are against the expansion of public transportation since they believe that crime rates increase in their communities. There is also a distorted economic view associated with the main public transportation service. Many natives in Atlanta connect poverty with public transportation, resulting in a higher amount of people choosing to buy and rental vehicles or ride taxis instead of riding Marta. An additional hindrance of the progression of public transportation is gerrymandering, manipulating boundaries in order maintain desired
Foreshadowing convinces us that Laurie is Charles. For example, Laurie has to think before he tells his mom about his first day of kindergarten. Laurie's mother states “Laurie thought. ‘It was Charles’…”(p.11). He needed time to think first, then he says, “It was Charles” because he had to think of a pretend name so that he wouldn’t get in trouble for disobeying the teacher and being “fresh.” In the story, it says, “Charles hits the teacher.” He hit the teacher because the teacher wanted him to color with red crayons, but he wanted to color with green crayons. This shows foreshadowing because unless Laurie was Charles he wouldn’t know why Charles is acting this way. In addition, Laurie told his father that Charles made a girl say a bad word, and that the girl said it twice. It infers that Laurie is Charles because he said that bad word to his father joyfully. The author wants us to know that lying is not okay and that you should tell the truth no matter what. After finding out that there is no “Charles” in kindergarten, Laurie’s parents will discover that Laurie is “Charles.”

With many of those places, you get the sense that they are exactly what they always wanted to be, a warm and human-sized, comfortable places to live. An interstate would never give you that feeling. When you are on a highway, you find things that you may never find anywhere else. The businesses are owned by people who live in that area, you could not find their business anywhere on an interstate. The author pointed out "I could drive for days and never find anything else just like it because it's only made of that small town by those particular people." That's a pro on why you should take a highway rather than an

Globally, numerous urban cities such as New York City and London have the issue of traffic congestion, and in the United States, Los Angeles and New York City take the top title of the worst traffic jams (Bekiempis). Even though traffic congestion ratings may not indicate how much air pollution in an area, most times, traffic congestion does communicate the approximate degree air pollution lies at. Atlanta does have an honorable—or rather, notorious—mention of daily traffic congestion, even though Atlanta’s traffic may not live up to the scale of that of New York City. The quality of air in the Atlanta metropolitan area can also play a testament to how far traffic congestion has gone in the
An advantage of this includes the social advantage is that there are many more free car parking spaces at out of town centres,
These kind of negative consequences can lead to positive pro-environmental behavior in regards to raising gas prices, building alternate routes around town, keeping sidewalks clean for individuals to walk on, and putting in bike lanes. By raising gas prices individuals do not travel as much so less traffic congestion and pollution, adding alternate routes around the town can help break up the flow of traffic, and adding bicycle lanes, and keeping sidewalks clean will help encourage individuals who live in town to ride bicycles, and walk. Positive consequences of traffic is that it encourages motorist to re-time their road trip to when the traffic is not as congested, and also by reducing speeds can cause less road accidents.
Whether you’re stuck on the 405 freeway during rush hour, on the 15 freeway heading back from a long-weekend vacation, or driving through the busy streets of Hollywood, traffic on the highways and streets of Los Angeles can often be a hassle. In Dagoberto Gilb’s short story Love in L.A., first published in 1986, the troubles of traffic are experienced first hand by our main character Jake. Jake is a common fellow with a steady occupation who is merely trying to make his way to work through the busy streets of Hollywood. As he is working his way through the piled traffic, not paying complete attention to the road in front of him, Jake crashes into the back of a Toyota. In the midst of exchanging information with the driver of the Toyota,
Some people say don’t trust the media it’s a bunch of malarkey blown into proportion. I agree with that somewhat, and do understand that the media sometimes is malarkey but there is some truth in the media. In general the media is more negative than positive. Coming from a Muslim family life was good as a child with our community, our neighborhood and had no hatred toward the Muslim people. Then after a fate full day of 9-11-2001, tragic, and heartbreaking day many life changed. The media began to make the Muslim people a scapegoat. The media began to generalize and categorize the Muslim people with a terrorist organizations. The media in general has many other negative impacts on society but the generalization that was blowing up to proportion
With an increase in urbanization, more people are moving to the industrial cities in pursuit of alternative lifestyle and jobs. Life in city and suburbs can be compared and contrasted with various aspects in mind since they share quite some details in as much as they are vastly different. Firstly, the transportation is more accessible in the city as compared to the suburb where there are no apt transport networks as compared to the city, among the transport mode in the city are subways, busses, trams and ferries. These provide easy, fast and cheap means of getting around in the city in as much as the streets are crowded. This is in contrast to the suburbs since owning a car is mandatory since such public transport systems are not available. When the costs of insurance, fuel expenses and time of commuting are added up then transport in suburbs is seen to be expensive when compared to that in the city. The easy transport in the city does not come all rosy since the city is also flooded with traffic jams due to congestion and this can render transport slow. This is contrast with suburb life where there is no traffic and hence with no congestion traveling in suburbs is more peaceful (Boulter, 2005).
