Contact: Kevin Krasnecky (508) 459-3314

Staff completes about 200 Automatic Traffic Recorder (ATR) daily volume counts each summer counting season, including 25 MassHighway coverage stations. The annual count program rotates throughout the region on a three-year cycle. Axle classification data is often collected, providing information on heavy vehicle flows on established National Highway System (NHS) connectors to major intermodal facilities and other major highways. In addition, the program has the capacity to conduct speed studies where requested by communities or identified as part of other planning activities.
