2009 Traffic Statistics |

Below are several charts and maps
tabulating Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) counts on San Antonio's freeways
for 2009. The comments,
rankings and calculations are my own analysis based on raw data
from TxDOT.
The stats below are
area-wide. To see traffic counts for just a specific corridor, see
that freeway's individual page elsewhere on this site.
Summary
Overall traffic was flat in
2009 compared to 2008. Bexar County 2009 VMT was virtually
identical to the previous year. As is usual, though, some
locations did note significant increases in traffic.
Interestingly, of the top 20 growth locations over the year, all but
three were either on Loop 410 or immediately adjacent to it.
After several years, Loop 410
regained its title as the city's busiest freeway. Loop 410 at
McCullough, Blanco, and Vance Jackson all tied for the busiest location,
dethroning I-10 at Callaghan. Two locations on I-35 dropped below
the 200,000 vehicles per day (VPD) threshold this year (at Rittiman and
at McCullough), but
the three top locations on Loop 410 moved above that mark; this is
likely due to the completion of construction in that area the year
before. The top traffic count dropped this year to 215,000 from
last year's 238,000.
Over the past decade, the top
spots continue to be concentrated on Loop 1604 and SH
151. Two other clusters of
increases include Loop 410 South and I-10 West near Loop 1604. US 281 north
of Loop
1604 rounds-out the top 20 growth locations
since 1999.
