Tables 6 and 7 compare the proximity of driver address with frequency of travel on the road on which the driver was stopped, for Peoria and Phoenix , respectively. Table 6 shows that, of those drivers stopped in Peoria who lived “in the neighborhood,” 92.5 percent traveled on the road daily and an additional 4.7 percent traveled on the road weekly. Of those who lived within a mile of the neighborhood, 70.6 percent traveled on the road daily and an additional 19.6 percent traveled on the road weekly. Of those who lived “outside the neighborhood,” 21 percent traveled on the road daily, and an additional 30.6 percent traveled on the road weekly. In fact, 75.9 percent of all of the drivers stopped for speeding in Peoria traveled on the road on which they were stopped at least once a week. Only 10.3 percent had never used the road before. Thus, they were frequent users of the roads on which they were stopped.
