| Abstract | This edition of the Traffic Monitoring Guide (TMG) is intended to provide the most up to date guidance to State highway agencies in the policies, standards, procedures, and equipment typically used in a traffic monitoring program. The TMG presents recommendations to help improve and advance current programs with a view towards the future of traffic monitoring and with consideration for recent transportation legislation resulting from the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). Improvements in traffic data collection technology since the publication of the TMG in 2001, has allowed States to improve their data collection processes and to streamline quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures, thereby replacing manual procedures with new automated ones. New technology also now enables States to collect data on non-motorized travel including bicycle and pedestrian traffic. This new capability is addressed in more detail in Chapter 4. The use of non-motorized travel data and information supports analysis regarding the impact to the transportation network (from a volume and safety perspective), resulting from the use of bicycles as an alternative method for travel compared to the traditional motor vehicle. The new technologies and procedures for traffic monitoring presented in this Guide are supplemented (in the appendices) with practical examples from actual State experiences in improving traffic monitoring programs. |
