Traffic count data for the SNHPC region can be viewed by clicking the Traffic Count Web Map button or by clicking on the image above. For a historical traffic count database, please check out our traffic volume summaries by clicking the Traffic Count PDF Summaries (to 2019). Currently our traffic count data is only displayed on our website until 2019. This is due to the disruption that COVID-19 and its variants had on traffic patterns in 2020, 2021 and 2022 which affected NHDOT’s ability to generate and adopt seasonal factors that are used when calculating the Annual Average Daily Traffic data or AADT. Once new seasonal factors are adopted by the NHDOT, SNHPC will update the SNHPC Traffic Count web map and pdf summaries to display the most recent traffic data.
