Programs that are responsible for measuring the volume and speed of traffic and the direction of traffic flow for designated areas within a community. Traffic counts can be conducted manually (e.g., someone observing and recording the numbers and turning patterns of vehicles during rush hour and the volume and paths of pedestrians) or through an automated system (e.g., a hose laid across the road that records the number of cars passing at different times over a number of days). Traffic counts are often the first response to local complaints about excessive traffic creating unsafe conditions. In some jurisdictions, the results of traffic counts are made available via the Internet for public review.
