Proposed Stations How many stations a department needs to protect an area depends in large part on the size of the built-up area to be protected; risks present; and type of developments to be protected. However, the sheer size of the area and speed lirnits on the street network are the prime factors, along with the desired response time goals. T'he latter is more a factor of standards and past experience than of risk . In addition to response time goals, the road network plays a sizeable role in the number of stations required. A perfect grid-patterned road network allows for the largest area to be reached in a given time, assuming uniform travel speeds on all road segments. Access to high- speed roadways (interstates, limited-access highways, etc.) increases the reachable area; winding, narrow, steep roads and traffic calming devices decrease the area reachable in a given time.
