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. Highway 7 continues to be the Region’s busiest road.

Other areas within the Region that can be characterized as major truck routes are Highway 50 and Highway 7 in Vaughan, Woodbine Avenue in Markham and Bloomington Road in Whitchurch-Stouff ville which serves as a major aggregate haulage route. Highway 9 and King Road serve as key access points to and from northern urban York via Highway 400. On the following map, Regional roads are classifi ed by a range of truck volumes (less than 1,000, 1,000 to 3,000 and over 3,000 trucks) during a typical eight-hour week-day period. Trucks are defi ned as medium and heavy trucks (three or more axles).
