Esri's Traffic Counts data tracks peak and low traffic volume by the number of vehicles that cross a certain point of a street location. Updated quarterly, the Traffic Counts database contains more than 1 million points across the United States.
Traffic Counts data includes average daily traffic volume, current and previous count type, and cross street direction and distance.
The data is available in ArcGIS Business Analyst and ArcGIS Community Analyst products as well as ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World maps and layers.
