Traffic Counts

Traffic counts are in-depth studies recording the volume, speed, and class (or type) of vehicle during a certain time period. over a duration of time.
WRC conducts traffic counts at a town’s request. Counts are done during the snow-free months, typically May through early November. At a minimum, we collect data for at least three full weekdays and two full weekend days.
A traffic count request must come from a town’s selectboard chair, town manager, administrative assistant, or road foreman/highway superintendent.
The WRC has been collecting volume, speed and class data, dating back well over decade. Please email cbratton@windhamregional.org to learn more.
The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) maintains automated traffic recorders (ATRs) and performs seasonal counts at a variety of locations throughout the state. Visit https://vtrans.vermont.gov/operations/OSB/data/traffic.
