Annual average daily traffic is the total volume for the year divided by 365 days. The traffic count year is from October 1st through September 30th. Very few locations in California are actually counted continuously. Traffic Counting is generally performed by electronic counting instruments moved from location throughout the State in a program of continuous traffic count sampling. The resulting counts are adjusted to an estimate of annual average daily traffic by compensating for seasonal influence, weekly variation and other variables which may be present. Annual ADT is necessary for presenting a statewide picture of traffic flow, evaluating traffic trends, computing accident rates. planning and designing highways and other purposes.Traffic Census Program Page

This data set is used for storage of Average Daily Traffic (ADT) data in Buena Park. This data set is typically updated every 7 to 10 years with the most recent traffic count data. Street segments represent the segments as they are collected in the field.ADT is typically defined as The total traffic volume during a given time period, ranging from 2 to 364 consecutive days, divided by the number of days in that time period, and expressed in vpd (vehicles per day). For example, if a particular street segment has a reported ADT of 10,000, this would mean that an average day would expect to see 10,000 vehicles travel that section of the roadway in both directions.Buena Park typically collects ADT data on these roadways when reviewing the city wide speed limits. Certain street segments may have their ADT data updated more regularly if needed. Staff also collects ADT data on other streets in the city (not shown here) on an as needed basis. Contact the Buena Park Traffic Division for more information on these counts.Please note that the 5 freeway, 91 freeway, and portions of Beach Boulevard are operated by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Caltrans ADT data can be obtained online at their Traffic Census Program website.

VITAL SIGNS INDICATOR Traffic Volumes at Regional Gateways (T6)

FULL MEASURE NAME Daily vehicles along entry/exit points to the Bay Area

LAST UPDATED April 2020

DESCRIPTION Traffic volumes at regional gateways refers to the number of vehicles crossing county boundaries on a typical day to enter or exit the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area.

DATA SOURCE California Department of Transportation: Annual Traffic Volume Reports http://traffic-counts.dot.ca.gov

CONTACT INFORMATION vitalsigns.info@mtc.ca.gov

METHODOLOGY NOTES (across all datasets for this indicator) Traffic counts reflect average annual daily traffic (AADT) counts at all state highway gateway points - entry/exit points to the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area. When the county line data was not available in the traffic volume reports, the closest intersection or interchange was used as a proxy for traffic volumes at the county line.
