School’s Almost Out: Schedule Traffic Counts Now for Your Development Projects

“Schools … Out For Summer” goes the tune. And it’s true. While’s that’s great for many, remember that traffic data collection for development projects is only permitted while schools are in session.

With this in mind, it may be time to schedule your traffic counts now before the last day of classes. Our traffic engineering team is scheduling counts now so projects can keep on schedule.

Obtaining traffic counts during normal school sessions is a vital component of getting project approvals. Data from these counts are used to prepare studies that are integral to getting projects approved. In practice, these volumes are used to predict future conditions and improvements. Note also that some traffic counts that have been completed may need to be updated if the project or development is located in a high-growth area.

5 Reasons to Get Accurate Traffic Data Collection

Accurate and updated traffic count data can:

1. Provide an accurate assessment of current conditions
2. Contribute to improvements in safety, circulation, and access
3. Identify ways to reduce congestion
4. Point to proposed changes to traffic design and controls, pavement markings, signs, and signals
5. Improve traffic flow
