traffic volume

Cars per hour

Traffic volume is the number of vehicles passing a specific point on a road during a given time period, typically measured in vehicles per hour or vehicles per day.

Transportation engineers and urban planners use traffic volume data to design roads, time traffic signals, and identify congestion patterns.

The traffic volume on Main Street doubles during rush hour.

High traffic volume often correlates with increased accident rates and longer commute times.
