Traffic Count Maps and Tables
Traffic count information at locations within the Texarkana area has been obtained from traffic counts conducted for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and from traffic counts conducted by the Texarkana Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) staff. Traffic count information is presented as a series of maps and tables with links to the actual maps and tables shown in blue. Maps and tables are formatted as Abode Acrobat documents (pdf). The traffic counts are not vehicle counts. When conducting traffic counts, a tube is placed across the roadway and when a vehicle crosses the tube, the number of axle hits are counted. The computer divides the total number of axle hits by two. If ten 2-axle cars cross the tube, the computer counts 20 hits and divides by 2 for a count of 10. In this case, the count of 10 also represents ten vehicles. However, if ten tractor-trailer trunks with 5-axles per truck cross the tube, the computer would register 50 hits and divide by 2 for a count of 25 even though the number of vehicles was actually 10 trucks.
Maps
Traffic count maps from 2000 to 2007 can be seen by clicking on the links listed below. The 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 traffic count maps are 34 inches by 44 inches in size and only persons with plotters or large printers can print the entire map on one sheet. The 2005, 2006 and 2007 traffic count maps are also 34 inches by 44 inches but these maps have also been divided into 24 sections with each section being able to be printed on an 8 ½ inch by 11 inch page. To access the 24 sections of the 2005 map, click on link 2005 Sectioned Map listed below which will take you to a map showing the 24 sections of the map. Click on the particular section of the map you want to see or print and you will be taken to that section map. The same procedure can be used to access the sections of the 2006 traffic count map and the 2007 traffic count map. The map legend for the 2005, 2006 and 2007 maps can be accessed and printed by clicking on the 2005 Traffic Count Legend, 2006 Traffic Count Legend and 2007 Traffic Count Legend links listed below.

The traffic count location map(pdf) shows the site identification number for each of the selected traffic count locations that can be used to obtain historical traffic count data from the tables presented below.
Tables
Traffic count information presented in tables can be printed on legal size paper (8½" by 14"). Three traffic count tables are presented for each year based on the Site ID, the state number of the roadway and the local name of the roadway.
