2.2.8 COMMUTER TRAFFICOn average 20% of trips made daily by individuals are work-related. According to censusdata, 90% of Cape Cod residents commute to work in an automobile, either bythemselves or in a carpool. Taken together, this means that commuter traffic is animportant component of road transportation.FIGURE 14 - COMMUTER MODE CHOICE AMONG CAPE COD RESIDENTSSource: Research Triangle Institute, 1991In 2000, 85.4% of employed Cape Cod residents worked on Cape Cod and 49.2% ofthose live and work in the same town according to the Census. Thus, despite thesignificant trips generated by long distance commuters, almost half of journey-to-worktrips made by Cape Cod residents are local.Several roads serve as major commuter corridors. Route 6 serves long distancecommuters. Traffic at the entrance and exit ramps of the Mid Cape Highway can becomecongested at peak hours as commuting traffic attempts to transfer from Route 6 to thelocal road network, or vice versa. Exit 6 to Route 132 in Barnstable, and Exit 7 to WillowStreet in Yarmouth can become particularly congested, as well as Exit 10 in Harwich.Route 6 in the Outer Cape can also become congested during peak hours.
