Winnipeg Permanent Radar Station Traffic Counts

Dual side-fire microwave radar sensors at permanent stations collect directional traffic volumes across Winnipeg neighborhoods. Data includes Westbound, Eastbound, Northbound, Southbound, Left, and Right turn counts per site. The City of Winnipeg maintains this dataset, last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling peak-hour congestion by analyzing Westbound and Eastbound volumes against Timestamp data.
• Assessing intersection efficiency by correlating Left and Right turn counts with Total traffic at specific Sites.
• Mapping traffic density by joining Latitude and Longitude coordinates with Neighborhoods and Wards for spatial analysis.
• Evaluating road usage trends over time using directional counts (Northbound, Southbound) from permanent sensor stations.

Strengths

• Data includes 16 specific columns detailing location, direction, and volume.
• Collection uses standardized dual side-fire microwave radar sensors at permanent stations.
• Dataset provides granular directional breakdowns including turns and cardinal directions.

Limitations

• Sample size and total row count are unknown, limiting statistical reliability assessment.
• Data completeness for fields like Zip Codes or Electoral Ward 2018 is unverified.
• Temporal coverage and update frequency beyond the last update date are unspecified.
