What can a traffic count deliverable contain?

Depending on the agreed study, a deliverable can contain structured interval tables, movement matrices, classification summaries, lane-level observations, QA/QC notes and agreed summary outputs.

Can traffic data be supplied in a client template?

Data can be structured to align with an agreed project template, subject to the agreed scope and delivery requirements.

What is the difference between detailed and summary traffic data?

Detailed data may retain interval, movement, lane or classification dimensions; summary data aggregates approved dimensions for the agreed reporting view. Both can be quality reviewed.

What can a traffic count deliverable look like?

This original, web-native resource explains the possible structure of traffic data without presenting a client workbook, project record or fixed reporting template.

Synthetic intersection data

A movement matrix starts with a defined study structure.

A junction can have three, four, five or more arms. Approaches, lanes, movements, classes and intervals are included only where the project scope calls for them.

Illustrative intersection movement model

Approaches, arm count, lanes and movement rules are defined for the actual study; this diagram is a conceptual four-arm example only.

Synthetic turning-movement count example
Approach	Movement	Light	Commercial	Heavy	Total
North approach	Left	42	8	4	54
North approach	Through	68	12	6	86
East approach	Right	35	6	3	44

Synthetic lane-by-lane example
Approach	Lane	Light	Commercial	Heavy
North approach	Lane 1	31	5	2
North approach	Lane 2	29	7	4
East approach	Lane 1	25	4	2

Lane configuration varies by project; three lanes are shown only to demonstrate a possible reporting dimension.

Illustrative traffic volume by interval

Text equivalent: the synthetic example totals are 71, 85, 78 and 62 across four consecutive 15-minute intervals. The values are illustrative and do not describe observed traffic.

Synthetic interval data example
Time	Vehicle class A	Vehicle class B	Vehicle class C	Total
08:00–08:15	52	13	6	71
08:15–08:30	61	16	8	85
08:30–08:45	57	14	7	78
08:45–09:00	46	11	5	62
