Traffic Counts

Turning Movement Counts are traffic counts taken at intersections which provide the volume of traffic by vehicle movement. Traffic Counts are collected by using battery-powered traffic counters with road tube sensors, which are connected to a traffic counter. When a vehicle's axle passes over the hoses, a pulse of air is sent to an air switch in the counter. The counter records the exact time of each axle hit. This is called collecting raw data which can be analyzed to indicate the volume of traffic traveling the street, the vehicle speeds, type of vehicle and time gaps in traffic.
