FAQs

Quick answers to questions you may have

Discover everything about the features and benefits of StreetLight for government agencies.

What is traffic planning?

Traffic planning is a type of transportation planning focused on the safe and efficient flow of vehicle traffic throughout a road network. It may also take into account non-vehicle traffic, such as pedestrian and bicycle activity.

To keep traffic flows running smoothly, planners use data on current and historical road conditions to propose and implement infrastructure and policy changes that will mitigate congestion, improve safety, increase equitable access to transportation, or otherwise promote an optimal transportation system.

What types of data does StreetLight provide for traffic planning?

Many government agencies use StreetLight to access standard transportation metrics that are essential for traffic planning, including Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT), vehicle volumes, vehicle speeds, bike and pedestrian activity, Origin-Destination (O-D) patterns, Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), Turning Movement Counts (TMC), and more.

How can historical and real-time traffic data be used for traffic planning and operations?

Historical traffic data is essential to understanding typical roadway conditions and predicting changes by time of day, day of week, or time of year. It helps planners assess the impact of road network changes and prioritize infrastructure investments. When paired with real-time data, it helps differentiate between atypical and typical traffic patterns, aiding in diagnosing the causes of slow-downs or safety issues.

Real-time data is vital for quick-response strategies, special events, and construction management, allowing experts to monitor and address traffic changes swiftly, especially during unexpected disruptions like signal malfunctions or weather events.
