Roads are made for movement, not staying

Figure 2.3.1VFrontage condition, and people staying or moving at each gate.

We counted people at eight gates and graded the frontage. Of everyone we observed, 89% were moving through and 11% were staying.

The roads here are built for movement. Staying is low at almost every gate. The one exception is the western edge, beside the open green plot, with 22 staying and 21 moving.
