Using Replica’s Road Closure Scenario Tool to Forecast the Impact of Construction in San Ramon, California

In order to install a bike and pedestrian overcrossing, the City of San Ramon will need to stop traffic on Bollinger Canyon Road for nine days, forcing roughly 40,000 trips to be rerouted each day. As the winner of Replica’s Road Closure Scenario contest, the City received a free road closure Scenario to better understand the potential impact of rerouting these 40,000 trips and inform appropriate diversion plans and signal modifications given the forecasted traffic impacts. We’re sharing the results of that scenario — which took less than 1 week from start to finish — below.

How Much Gasoline Do Americans Use Every Day?

Americans burn millions of gallons of fuel every day to get where they’re going. With Replica, it’s possible to quantify gas usage on individual roadway segments to help inform policy and planning decisions.

The average American adult travels more than 40 miles per day. See how residents in your county rank.

Across the 50 states, that’s more 10 billion miles in total per day…without factoring in air travel. Use the map below to explore regional differences in typical travel behavior.
