AICP Functional Areas Of Planning Practice Test

What is the approximate range for the Single Family Residential average vehicle trip rate?

7.9 9.1-10.2 6.0 3.5

Correct Answer:

9.1-10.2

Explanation:

The key idea is that each dwelling unit has an average number of vehicle trips generated per day, used to estimate traffic impacts. For single-family detached housing, households typically generate about nine to ten trips per day. That makes the range of roughly 9.1 to 10.2 trips per dwelling unit per day the best match, aligning with published ITE trip-generation data for single-family residential. The other options fall outside because 7.9 is lower than the typical single-family average, 6.0 is more characteristic of multi-family housing, and 3.5 is far below realistic daily trip counts for a dwelling unit.
