... 59 Google Earth historical imagery was reviewed for every roadway segment and intersection in the database to ensure no construction activity occurred during the study periods. Roadway segments and intersections with a history of any significant construction or major change in the main site characteristics were discarded and not included in the final database.

... 68 Site Characteristics Data for Intersections An intersection database was created with intersections of six-or-more-lane arterials and oneway streets for which traffic volume data were available for both intersecting streets. In Illinois, California, and Michigan, the state database was the sole source for traffic volumes, and as such, only the intersections of two state-owned highways were included in the calibration dataset.
