What this tracks
This dataset records traffic count stations along Nevada highways, showing annual vehicle volumes at specific locations from 2007 through 2026.
Why it matters to you
Trucking companies can check AADT_2023 values to compare traffic volumes on alternate routes like US50 vs SR305 when planning deliveries. Residents near SR722 Carrol Summit Rd can see if their commute corridor is getting busier by tracking the year-over-year AADT (Annual Average Daily Traffic) numbers. Nevada DOT uses this data to prioritize road repairs — higher traffic routes typically get maintenance first.
How to read this data
LOCATION_D — Describes where the counter is placed, like “US50 13.9 mi E of SR361 (Gabbs Valley Rd)”
AADT_2023 — The average daily traffic count for 2023 at that station (sample value: 670 vehicles/day)
ROUTE_NAME — The highway being monitored, such as US50 or SR722
StationType — Whether the counter is “Permanent” (always counting) or temporary
Try it yourself
Look up your regular commute route (like US50) in the dataset to see current traffic volumes and whether they’ve increased over the past 5 years — this helps anticipate delays during peak seasons.
