Denny Way Traffic History
This is how much time it takes to get from Queen Anne Ave. to Virginia St. (or vice versa) on Denny Way every hour by car. It is a total distance of 1.1 miles:
Eastbound

Westbound

Walking speed is about 3 mph. Route times for each direction are queried every hour using the Google Maps Routes API. These times are calculated for cars, but a bus making stops would travel even more slowly.
Here is a table showing the effect that lane closures have on travel times, depending on how many blocks are closed:

| Direction | Median trip times per blocks of one-lane closures (All hours) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 blocks | 1 block | 2 blocks | 3 blocks | |
| Eastbound | 6 min | N/A | N/A | 7 min |
| Westbound | 6 min | N/A | N/A | 6 min |
This project was made to illustrate how helpful it would be for King County Metro Route 8 to have dedicated bus lanes on Denny Way. Learn more about Route 8's issues and how to fix them here.
