Traffic Count on July 22

This year’s traffic count in the city of Erlangen will take place on Wednesday, July 22, from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Approximately 160 students will be stationed at about 30 counting locations.

This year’s focus is on recording traffic flows both beyond the city limits and in the downtown area. At some locations, bicycle and pedestrian traffic will also be recorded in addition to motor vehicle traffic. City employees will oversee the conduct of the traffic survey.

The traffic counts form the basis for evaluating construction projects, but above all for upcoming planning efforts based on the results of the traffic development plan. The survey makes it possible to

• track the development of motorized traffic extending beyond the city limits, as well as
• the volume and composition of traffic on the inner-city road network be recorded, analyzed, and presented.

The counts thus serve as a fundamental decision-making criterion for future investments.
