What this tracks
This dataset records proposed and existing Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) devices like ramp meters across Nevada’s roadways.
Why it matters to you
If you regularly commute on highways like IR515, this data shows where Nevada DOT plans to install traffic flow devices that may affect your drive time. Business owners along major routes can see if new ramp meters will redirect customer traffic patterns. The “Status” field tells you whether a device is already operational or still in planning stages.
How to read this data
ITS_Device — The type of traffic management hardware (e.g., “Ramp Meter”).
Route_Name — Which highway the device serves (e.g., “IR515” for Interstate 515).
Direction — Travel lanes affected (e.g., “Southbound”).
Status — Whether the device is “Proposed” or likely already built (other statuses possible).
