Conclusion:
After
doing this traffic experiment, I now notice that most people who are driving
are typically riding by themselves or maybe with one other person. When it
comes to their vehicles, Americans prefer to be independent. People love to the
have the freedom to go where ever, whenever they choose. In my experiment I
gathered the information that slightly over 50% of the cars that I monitored
were a truck or an SUV, which being in the city doesn't make too much sense. I
would think living in or commuting to a city, one would prefer a smaller
vehicle in which they can save money on gas as well as save hassle on inner
city parking. Overall I was a little surprised by the data I collected. I
expected due to geographical location we would have much more smaller vehicles
with drivers carpooling rather than bigger vehicles and single drivers.
