What this tracks
This dataset measures how stressful or walkable Tennessee roads are for pedestrians based on traffic conditions and infrastructure.
Why it matters to you
If you’re choosing a walking route to school, work, or public transit in Tennessee, this data shows which streets have safer sidewalks, slower traffic, and better lighting. Parents can check LTS scores before letting kids walk alone, and small businesses can identify pedestrian-friendly locations likely to get more foot traffic.
How to read this data
LTS_SCORE — Lower numbers (like 1.8) mean easier walking conditions, while higher numbers (like 4) indicate stressful routes with heavy/fast traffic.
SIDEWALKS_SCORE — A score of 1 means sidewalks exist, while higher numbers mean poor or missing sidewalks.
SPD_LMT_SCORE — Scores increase with higher speed limits (2 = moderate speeds, 4 = dangerous for walking).
