McShane (1998), Traffic Engineering, Prentice Hall) It’s interesting to see that the lower the speed of travel, the more vehicles it can move per hour due to lower following distances: Traffic volume depending on travel speed (Source: Roger P. The most common use of right-of-way, a vehicle travel lane can move between 500 and 900 cars per hour. To understand this problem better, below we will calculate how many people actually benefit from the same 10 feet of right-of-way depending on its use: parking lanes, general purpose travel lanes, bike lanes, bus lanes, and even dedicated space for light rail. The crowding out of these functions by transportation is in part natural, as fueled by growing population, but mostly a function of decades of deliberate car-centric policies. And besides providing a pathway between buildings, it has historically also served as space for markets, social gathering, children’s play areas, and been critical for community building. The many uses of a right of wayįundamentally, right-of-way is just public land. But it is also a sign that we should consider alternative street configurations. This is only the result of a good thing-strong job growth and record-low unemployment. The transportation supply it provides no longer meets the demand as evident by growing congestion. ![]() Yet, as the city becomes denser, we are finding this configuration to be inadequate in serving its changing needs. Today, most of this space is dedicated to general purpose lanes and parking and is utilized mostly by single occupancy vehicles. I also discovered recently that funds not specifically held on behalf of a seller can also be grabbed to pay bills.Approximately 35% of the land area of Seattle constitutes public right-of-way. If there is no buyer response within the very short timescales, funds held 'in escrow' are passed to the seller account. The problem here is with the use of automated systems where timescales are much too short (especially over holiday periods) for a buyer response to a request for payment. I have seen a number of complaints from buyers where sellers have paid from funds held 'in escrow' when the job was not completed. That's far too much - even a formal contract staff agency (that used to be my main business) would make less than half of that while taking-on greater responsibility including prompt weekly payment, irrespective of whether the customer has paid.ĭan argues that the system offers everybody protection but I have come to see that this is a theoretical concept only.Įven when the buyer has paid, sellers have recently been waiting weeks for payment. This is with no financial outlay or any other liabilities. ![]() With the recent increase in seller fees to 20% on the first £500 of monthly earnings, PPH are making around 30% for the simple act of "introducing A to B". When I saw Xenios (PPH owner) on bloomburg and read his article he sounded decent guy but his policies to run company is following the complete dishonest approach and filling his pockets. One thing is pretty sure, I will never put any job on people per hour again, also moving away as seller because earning commission are extremely high. This is very dishonest company approach, I think Fair Trading Authority should take action on that high charges. I could not negotiate with seller again because all was agrred, it left no other option to accept his proposal and felt like people per hour robbed £36 quid from my pocket. Today I posted a job and made a deal on a price as I had tight budget so when it was agreed with seller and I went on payment page and I saw extra £36 charges as 'buyer fee' I thought what the hell is that. As a seller, If I send £100 proposal to client and I get paid only £63 which is really crazy in terms of commission. Im seller and buyer on people per hour from last 7 years but i noticed that from last year people per hour fees and commission shoots up.
