Annual Average Daily Traffic (Aadt)
ANNUAL AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC (AADT) AADT volumes are generated through the use of two types of automated counting stations, Permanent Count Stations (PCS) and Automatic Traffi c Recorder (ATR) counts strategically placed throughout the Region. A full copy of the AADT Report is available through: As each ATR count only captures traffi c a few days a year (typically a consecutive seven day period), a PCS station, which has similar characteristics, is a control Road Safety & Traffi c Data station. Since a full year’s worth of traffi c counts can be obtained from the PCS Management stations, factors (on a half-month basis) for each control station are calculated Transportation and Community Planning and subsequently used to adjust for any seasonal variation in the non- permanent stations to calculate a Week Day (WDAADT) average and a Seven Day 905-895-1200, ext. 5251 average (AADT). 1-877-464-9675, ext. 5251 Regional roads in the vicinity of major employment nodes are consistently among the highest volume roads in the Region.
