Traffic Volume Counts

The Los Angeles Department of Transportation collects traffic volume data on requested roadway segments within the City of Los Angeles. The traffic data provides a snapshot of existing traffic volumes in an area for engineering and traffic studies conducted by the Department.

Data obtained from the Department of Transportation’s traffic survey section is made available to the public for a variety of other uses. Measurements of traffic activity, and the volume of potential customers already attracted to a neighborhood, are invaluable to developers and businesses seeking to expand into the area. Planners use the data to identify traffic trends, which can offer insights into future traffic patterns.

		LADOT often receives requests for this information from:
		Developers Real estate firms Environmental planners Land use consultants Marketing agencies Traffic engineers Civil engineers

Through this service, LADOT offers interested parties access to thousands of traffic count files that detail traffic activity at specific intersections from arterial to local streets.
