• Abstract:
  The purpose of this guide is to aid the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) in developing the level of traffic data needed to support both highway pavement and geometric design and analysis of traffic for district, state, and federal requirements. This guide will provide you, the highway pavement or geometric designer and district personnel, with a better understanding of the considerations that need to be taken when submitting a request for traffic data. Better traffic data can save millions of taxpayer dollars, but the needless collection of traffic data can be a large waste of taxpayer dollars. Each project has to be evaluated separately.
