Colorado Road Traffic Counts and Road Attributes for 2022

Traffic counts on public roads under local jurisdiction in Colorado for the year 2022. The dataset includes 30 columns detailing road segments, traffic volumes, and infrastructure attributes. It is provided by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Model annual average daily traffic (AADT) using road attributes like FUNCCLASSID, SURF_TYPE, and URBAN classification.
• Analyze traffic volume distribution across different administrative classes (ADMINCLASS) and jurisdictional splits (JURSPLIT).
• Assess road network coverage and segment characteristics using geospatial fields like SEG_LENGTH and GISID.
• Correlate traffic counts (AADT) with road designations such as NHSDESIG and FORESTROUTE.
• Evaluate infrastructure age and traffic patterns by joining BUILTYR with AADTYR and AADTDERIV fields.

Strengths

• Includes 30 columns of detailed road segment and traffic attributes.
• Covers traffic data for the complete year 2022.
• Provides geospatial identifiers (GISID, FIPS) for location-based analysis.

Limitations

• Sample size and total row count are unknown, limiting assessment of statistical power.
• Data is limited to a single year (2022), preventing longitudinal trend analysis.
• Geographic coverage is restricted to Colorado, limiting generalizability.
