Traffic Data

The VLMPO works with local jurisdictions and the Georgia DOT to obtain traffic count, or volume and vehicle classification data, and crash data. This data is collected through several methods but all comes together to provide decision makers with key pieces of data that are used to determine project priorities and needs.

Traffic counts are collected throughout the community and tell transportation planners a lot about the travel patterns of region. Traffic counts can be used to collect various levels of data including raw traffic volumes, average speed, peak hour, and vehicle classification. This data is used in the travel demand modeling process and in corridor studies as well as project engineering and design. This data aids planners in identifying traffic patterns in the community and recommending needed improvements or policy changes.
