Queue Data for the Top 5 Drive Through Uses

A key item for traffic engineers to review on a commercial site is whether or not vehicles waiting in a drive through lane will block circulation in the parking lot. Very little actual data exists on drive through queues, so we collected more than 1,200 hours of video at drive-throughs and did the data reduction.  I wrote about this in my article “How many vehicles do you need to store in a drive through lane?” But the topic of drive-thru queue data came up several times in our recent reader survey, so I’m posting the link to the original article again for readers who may have missed the original post.

During our data collection process we collected data for five popular drive-through uses including:

• Banks
• Car Washes
• Coffee Shops
• Fast Food Restaurants
• Pharmacies
