This data set features a hyperlink to the New York State Department of Transportation’s (NYSDOT) Traffic Data (TD) Viewer web page, which includes a link to the Traffic Data interactive map. The Traffic Data Viewer is a geospatially based Geographic Information System (GIS) application for displaying data contained in the roadway inventory database. The interactive map has five viewable data categories or ‘layers’. The five layers include: Average Daily Traffic (ADT); Continuous Counts; Short Counts; Bridges; and Grade Crossings throughout New York State.

New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) uses Automated Traffic Recorders (ATR) to collect traffic sample volume counts at bridge crossings and roadways.These counts do not cover the entire year, and the number of days counted per location may vary from year to year.

This dataset provides hourly bridge and tunnels crossings by facility, direction, vehicle class, and payment method. This dataset is a count of all traffic on the facilities, regardless of whether the driver ultimately pays the toll.

The Port Authority collects eastbound vehicle traffic volumes from its toll plazas at the six Port Authority vehicular crossings (i.e., George Washington Bridge, Holland Tunnel, Lincoln Tunnel, Goethals Bridge, Outerbridge Crossing and Bayonne Bridge). This dataset contains monthly eastbound traffic volumes for each crossing and for all Port Authority crossings combined, based on vehicles passing through Authority’s toll plazas, for each month starting in January 2011 through December 2012. The dataset contains traffic volumes for three types of vehicles (autos, buses, trucks) for each month.

The SMTC rates pavement using a scale developed by the New York State Department of Transportation. While traveling at posted speed limit, the rater will make an assessment from inside the vehicle of each pavement segment ranging from 1 (completely impassable) to 10 (new pavement) based on the frequency and severity of distresses appearing on the pavement surface. SMTC staff have attended several training sessions led by the NYSDOT on the usage of this scale. Additional information can be found in the SMTC's Bridge and Pavement Condition Management System report and the City of Syracuse Supplemental Pavement Rating documentation, which can be found on the SMTC's website.Disclaimer: The data is for planning purposes only, and the SMTC does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information.Data Dictionary:BPID: Unique identifier to for this road segment, to keep it tied to our road network.Miles: Length of the road in Miles.Street Name: The name of the road. Only the Street name suffix (Ave, Rd, or St) and direction (N, S, E, or W).Segment Start: Cross street that this section of road is measuring from.Segment End: Cross street that this section of road is measuring to.Block: 100 Level Block number that this section of the Street Name is referencing.Ward: City of Syracuse Ward that this street segment is located in.Width Feet: Width of the road segment in feet.Rating 2022: The rating that SMTC has assigned to this section of road. The SMTC rates pavement using a scale developed by the New York State Department of Transportation. While traveling at posted speed limit, the rater will make an assessment from inside the vehicle of each pavement segment ranging from 1 (completely impassable) to 10 (new pavement) based on the frequency and severity of distresses appearing on the pavement surface. SMTC staff have attended several training sessions led by the NYSDOT on the usage of this scale.Codeset Name: Roads with a score of 9 or 10 are considered ExcellentCodeset Name: Roads with a score of 7 or 8 are considered GoodCodeset Name: Roads with a score of 6 is considered Fair.Codeset Name: Roads with a score of 1-5 are considered Poor.Codeset Name: In addition to the 1-10 values, the SMTC applies a value of 0 or Unrated, to a very small percentage of roads. In most instances, Unrated roads are either under construction at the time of rating, or consist of materials not suited for pavement rating, such as brick or concrete bridge deck.Rating Category: Rating of the road based on the information above.Funtional Classification: Functional classification describes the importance of a particular road or network of roads to the overall system and, therefore, is critical in assigning priorities to projects and establishing the appropriate highway design standards to meet the needs of the traffic served. This is a system that divides roads into different categories based on how they are most used, as well as determining which projects can get federal funding. FC code is the number assigned to this.Date Collected: The date that the information that this rating was determined was collected. Time is entered in MM/DD/YYY, HH:MM Format.
