PART III Public Transportation: 14) On the "ring road" and on the perimeter of each parking area, bus transportation can be conveniently accommodated to serve the academic core of the campus. The residential area of the campus could be equally well served.;'' One road, the ceremonial drive, also provides direct access for the buses to the center of the circular core of the campus. Shelters are indicated on the "ring road" and in the parking areas. Coordination of Roads and Parking with Campus Development: 15) Prior to the preparation of construction plans for buildings, roads and parking, detailed traffic studies should be completed to specifically determine the roadway pavement location and configuration, and the types of traffic controls and number of travel lanes that should be furnished at key intersections. Such specific determinations are essential to (a) proper coordination of underground utilities and surface drainage, and (b) phase construction of buildings, roads and parking that will each be constructed in stages. These studies are most important to provide realistic estimates of traffic volumes based on the present plan. Such detailed traffic studies are critical with respect to determining the number of lanes to be needed at full development, the practicability or impracticability of a traffic rotary, the capacity and design of the major entrances, and the need for additional access to the campus. Failure to study the effects of projected traffic volumes on these key parts of the circulation system could seriously limit their efficiency and cause considerable future expense if roads, utilities or other structures have to be adjusted to accommodate future volumes.
