As a retired Highway designer, it was part of my job to design for the Peak traffic volumes which were 7:00 am till 8:30 am and 4:30 pm till around 6:30 pm.Max peaks were 7:30am and 5:30pm at any given city location, beyond that it went to lower counts slowly. I-40 and I-44 interchange (the K interchange soon to become a 4 level reconstruct that I did the conceptual design for) carries approximately, IIRC, 380,000 cars a day and thats an old number so its higher now. I-44 is 4 lanes and warrants 8 lanes coming as soon as the money does.That will be a billion dollar project likely split into about 10 phases.I used to drive 32 miles 1 way to work from Tuttle to the capitol area and had to be at the office at 7:30am and left at 5:00pm.That was the worst part of my entire day no matter what else came along. When covid came along and I worked from home and later I retired, this very thing was my favorite part on day 1.My second favorite part is I no longer get up at 6:00 am unless its to go pee lol.</blockquote>
