Traffic counts

 Here is a city data set on streets and traffic volumes. AADT means average annual daily traffic (ie, daily traffic averaged over a year to account for seasonal and daily fluctuations).

If you find a four lane urban road with under 18,000-21,000 aadt then it is a candidate for a road diet. The diet might recover the outside lanes for landscaping and streetscaping, protected parking lanes, bike lanes, or some combination. But maybe it isn’t needed for through traffic. Get out your red pencils!

I cannot add the appropriate lines in the table, but for column one Local extends down as far a Carbrooke Street; collector goes to Albion; major collector goes to Booth; and Arterial the rest of the table.

2 thoughts on “Traffic counts

  1. Main Street appears to me to be the outstanding candidate, in conjunction with redevelopment of St. Pauls

  2. surprised to see that Holland handles more traffic than Parkdale; Parkdale plugs up easily and Holland is always flowing.
