Provincial Highway Traffic Volumes 1988-2010

Government of Ontario data details a 23-year history (1988-2010) of traffic volumes on Provincial Highways. The highway network is divided into approximately 1600 sections for reporting, with seasonal volume variations estimated for each.

Use Cases

• Analyze long-term traffic trends across approximately 1600 highway sections using 23 years of volume data.
• Model seasonal traffic volume variations for specific highway sections to forecast infrastructure demand.
• Compare traffic patterns on overlapping highway routes, such as Highway 35 and Highway 115, using the referenced lower-number or freeway route data.

Strengths

• Covers a 23-year time range (1988-2010) providing longitudinal analysis potential.
• Highway network is segmented into approximately 1600 sections for granular spatial reporting.
• Includes estimated seasonal traffic volume variations for each highway section.

Limitations

• No row or column count provided, limiting assessment of dataset scale and feature completeness.
• Traffic volumes are estimates representing sections, which may mask local condition variations.
• Data is temporally stale, ending in 2010, and may not reflect current traffic patterns.
