Victoria Traffic Count Locations

This dataset contains the location, GPS coordinates and textual description of all traffic counts conducted by VicRoads over the past 20+ years. VicRoads collects thousands of counts each year across the state. The type of equipment used determines the accuracy and the type of data collected. For example data collected at Traffic Lights (SCATS) does not distinguish between cars and trucks. Turning Movement data does not have a traffic speed component, etc. Data is not collected at every location every year. Some Traffic flow movements (TFMs) have also been used for ad hoc counts. A strategic counting program has been developed to ensure an even coverage of data is available both temporally and spatially based on value to the state.
