The most recent roadside safety procedures and guidelines required by MDOT SHA for counting traffic. It includes the resulting traffic data reports, such as the Traffic Trends Report, Traffic Volume Maps, and Truck Volume Maps. This document describes our program, including the sources, methodologies and procedures used to collect, calculate, and validate Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) counts.

The program collects, processes, analyzes, summarizes, and disseminates Maryland highway traffic data. It is supported by a comprehensive, user friendly, management information computer database system.

The northbound M-3 (Gratiot Avenue) ramp to westbound I-94 will be closed through late August, while the southbound M-3 (Gratiot Avenue) ramp to westbound I-94 will be closed through mid-September.Ĭurrently, eastbound 14 Mile Road remains closed at M-3 (Gratiot Avenue) through early August. non-motorized), ramps and federal aid roadway traffic data that is used by MDOT and others for planning and project decisions 2.

WMSRDC does not physically take these counts, but rather serves as the clearinghouse agency to help make these counts available to users of the traffic volume data. WMSRDC does not perform traffic counts and assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of this. 1.1 Traffic Counts and Peaking Characteristics Peak period, off-peak and daily traffic counts are all necessary in order to fully understand the traffic characteristics of an intersection. Hogan’s plan to add toll-funded express lanes to Interstate 270 and the Capital Beltway recently had a setback when a regional transportation panel voted to remove it from a federally mandated environmental study.Īccording to MDOT State Highway Administration, traffic on state highways increased 0.4% in the first week of July compared with the same period in July 2019. The following presents guidelines for the conduct of these counts, including when and where they are required, and interpretation and processing of the data. Traffic on the Beltway across the Legion Bridge surpassed pre-pandemic levels, with average daily traffic of 226,851 this year, a 0.26% increase compared with the same week in 2019.Īlso, according to the state, volume at state bridges and tolls have exceeded 2019 figures for the first time since March 2020.

Tuesday, July 26, the northbound and southbound M-3 (Gratiot Avenue) ramps to westbound I-94 will be closed as part of the M-3 rebuilding project. This comes after statewide highway travel dropped by more than 50% and passenger travel at BWI Marshall Airport fell by more than 90% at the height of the pandemic, according to the state.
