Los Angeles Intersection Traffic Counts from LADOT

Los Angeles Department of Transportation automated and manual traffic count summary data for intersections throughout the city. Manual counts are typically 6-hour counts expanded using a conversion factor, as indicated by a 'MAN' value in the 'Type' column. The dataset includes both automated and manual traffic volume measurements.

Use Cases

• Analyze traffic volume patterns across Los Angeles intersections using the 'Type' column to differentiate between automated and manual counts.
• Model peak traffic flows by applying the documented conversion factor to expand 6-hour manual counts into daily estimates.
• Compare traffic activity at specific intersections by leveraging the geographic scope of data collected throughout Los Angeles.

Strengths

• Data is provided by the authoritative City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation.
• Includes a documented methodology where manual 6-hour counts are expanded using a conversion factor.
• The dataset was last updated in June 2025, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• The specific number of records, intersections covered, and column details are unknown, limiting precise analytical planning.
• Relies on a conversion factor for manual counts, which may introduce estimation error compared to continuous automated data.
