Traffic Counts
Traffic volumes are measured for all roads within McLennan County classified as a collector, arterial or freeway. These counts are referred to as saturation counts and are performed once every five years. Saturation counts are performed for the MPO by the Texas Department of Transportation.
In addition the Traffic department collects traffic count data as necessary for investigation of citizen inquiries, generating signal timing plans, speed limit studies, warrant analysis, etc.
