Data obtained and analyzed included turning movement <br /> volumes by time-of-day for all vehicles and for trucks and busses, and bicycles, as well as pedestrian crossing <br /> volumes. To capture representative peak conditions, counts were obtained for typical Tuesdays, Wednesdays, <br /> and Thursdays when schools were in session. <br /> Streetlight Insight probe data were used to supplement turning movement volumes at additional <br /> intersections, and to estimate changes in traffic characteristics observed during the pandemic. Streetlight <br /> analysis provided information on changes in daily traffic, time-of-day distributions, truck percentages, travel <br /> speeds, trip lengths, and trip origin-destination patterns. <br /> 4.3.4.1 Traffic Characteristics <br /> 2022 Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) Volumes <br /> Streetlight was used to estimate AADTs and other traffic data, such as peaking characteristics and vehicle <br /> classifications,for Monday-Thursdays in 2019 and 2021.Available data for 2022 was also collected; <br /> however,these AADTs are an approximation using data from September 2021 through April 2022 to obtain <br /> an adequate sample size.Truck AADTs (AADTTs), including medium and heavy trucks, were only available for <br /> 2019 and 2021.The locations and respective AADTs are listed in Table 4. <br /> 32 Existing Conditions and Critical Issues <br />
