2011 Traffic

October 11, 2012 |
Below are
several charts and maps tabulating Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT)
counts on San Antonio's freeways for 2011. 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
Traffic counts in 2011
mostly increased over 2010. I-10 at
Callaghan fell from the busiest spot in 2010 to eighth this year.
The top spot was Loop 410 at Blanco with a traffic count approaching
250,000 vehicles per day; that's the highest traffic count ever in
Bexar County by a substantial margin. Three new
locations topped 200,000 vehicles per day for a total of nine such
locations; five of them were on I-35.
The top 20 one year growth
locations were spread around the city this year, but the US 281
corridor had the highest overall one year increase. The top spot,
though, was I-10 at DeZavala, which was up by nearly 50%.
However, the 2010 count appears to have been an anomaly.
Five of the
top seven growth locations since 2001 are along SH 151. Another
concentration of the top 20 ten year growth locations was along
northwest Loop 1604..
