Definition:
These reports summarize the automated traffic volume counts completed by the Transportation Division, City of Vancouver Engineering Services.
Automatic counts are conducted by placing hoses on the roadway, usually for a 24-hour period, and recording the number of vehicles traveling in a specific direction. The counts are done mid-block between two intersections to give a total for each direction of the street.
To access an auto-count report, double-click the highlighted street segment when you are in VanMap or access the Auto Counts from the application list box.
Note: For blocks with multiple street segments only one segment is highlighted but the count is for the entire block, and the highlighted segment does not reflect the actual location of the traffic counter.
