Calgary 2023 Traffic Volume Data For Provincial Roads

2023 data provides average daily weekday traffic volumes for provincial roads in Calgary. The City of Calgary publishes this information, which is derived from traffic counts and adjusted for seasonal variation. Data includes two-way total vehicle counts represented as Weighted Average Annual Daily Traffic.

Use Cases

• Model traffic flow patterns using the Volume and YEAR columns to analyze annual trends.
• Assess road segment usage by joining Section Name and Shape Length data with geographic information systems.
• Identify high-volume corridors for infrastructure planning by analyzing Volume data across different Sections.
• Calibrate traffic simulation models using the Weighted Average Annual Daily Traffic (WAADT) metric provided in the Volume column.

Strengths

• Data represents a full calendar year (2023) of traffic measurements.
• Includes geospatial attributes (Section, Shape Length, multilinestring) for mapping integration.
• Traffic volumes are adjusted for seasonal variation to represent average weekday conditions.

Limitations

• Data may reflect temporary 2023 conditions like construction and detours, limiting generalizability.
• Sample size and row count are unknown, preventing assessment of statistical reliability.
• Limited to provincial roads within Calgary, excluding municipal and residential streets.
