5.3 San Diego, California<br />
San Diego is a larger city than <strong>Raleigh</strong> in population, density, and area.<br />
Comparing a mid-sized city to a larger city, in pedestrian volume, provides<br />
some perspective to the total sidewalk traffi c. While locations such as New<br />
York City’s Manhattan may experiences pedestrian volumes in the 5,000s,<br />
San Diego’s counts were more modest and near those of the <strong>Raleigh</strong><br />
counts, as seen in Figures 5.4 and 5.5. <strong>Count</strong>s were compared in the<br />
morning hours of 7:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. as well as the lunch period of 12:00<br />
p.m. – 2:00 p.m.. Three locations were selected for comparison, with the<br />
following makeup:<br />
San Diego/<strong>Raleigh</strong> Total Volume 7am-9am<br />
