I recall a similar question where increased revenues were seen as a positive outcome, so option D could also be a measure of effectiveness.

Option B seems more about the well-being of the wardens rather than the overall effectiveness of the parking system, right?

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember we discussed how reduced costs could be a sign of effectiveness too, which makes option C seem relevant.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think the most relevant measure of effectiveness would be whether the main shopping streets are no longer congested, since that was the original problem they were trying to solve. But I could see arguments for the other options as well, in terms of efficiency and cost savings. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Okay, let's see. The key here is to focus on the objective of the changes, which was to reduce congestion on the main shopping streets. So the most direct measure of effectiveness would be whether the streets are no longer congested. I'm going to go with option A.

I'm a little confused by this question. The answer choices seem to be talking about different aspects of the parking system, but I'm not sure which one is the best measure of effectiveness. I might need to re-read the passage a few times to make sure I understand the core issue.

This looks like a pretty straightforward question. I think I'd go with option A - using Cloud Dataflow with a sliding time window to compute the moving average and send an alert if it drops below 4000.

I think the key is that the main streets are no longer congested. That's the real measure of success here. Anything that reduces traffic and makes the town more accessible is a win in my book.

I agree, the lack of congestion on the main streets is the best indicator that the parking system is working as intended. Reduced wage costs for traffic wardens is also a good sign.
