Anybody want to check my math to make sure I have this correct?

<blah blah blah numbers numbers blah blah blah>

Dude. English teacher.

Oh, that WAS English!

Anybody want to check my math to make sure I have this correct?

T = L / (S * 1.466667) where T is time to travel a segment in seconds; L is length of the segment in feet; and S is the speed in miles per hour.

So, T = 5280 / (60 * 1.466667) = 5280 / 88.00002 = 59.999986, which is close enough to 60.
Yes, it takes 60 seconds to travel one mile at 60 MPH.

Keep your units consistent.

It can't always be done. The data file contains feet for length and MPH for speed - this can not be changed. I also have to add a penalty for traffic lights and speed humps, which are determined to be five seconds each (again, can't change the field measurements). So we now have MPH, feet and seconds. My analysis output (a map) has to show minutes.

Who said geography is boring?

Good luck!

I'm an engineer, so I change everything to fit my needs.
