Gainesville Traffic Counts with Annual Average Daily Traffic Data

Traffic count sites across Gainesville provide Annual Average Daily Traffic (ADT) figures for multiple years, including 2002-2016 and specific periods like 2011-2012 and 2013-2014. The dataset includes spatial coordinates and is maintained by the city's Transportation Planning Division. It was last updated in April 2024.

Use Cases

• Model traffic volume trends over time using the ADT_2002 to ADT_2016 columns for time-series forecasting.
• Analyze peak period traffic patterns using the PMD1_1112 and PMD2_1112 columns for specific time intervals.
• Correlate heavy vehicle traffic (Heavy_1314) with road wear or safety incidents at specific Station locations.
• Map traffic count density and distribution using the geospatial coordinates in the_geom for spatial analysis.
• Compare directional traffic flow (D1_1314, D2_1314) at intersections or specific road segments.

Strengths

• Contains traffic data for at least 15 distinct years from 2002 to 2016.
• Includes 30 columns of detailed metrics like daily counts, peak period data, and heavy vehicle figures.

Limitations

• Sample size and total row count are unknown, limiting statistical reliability assessment.
• Data appears focused on Gainesville, Florida, limiting geographic generalizability.
