INTRODUCTIONThis publication is compiled and edited by the Transportation Systems MonitoringUnit and contains the following traffic count information: 2013 Trend Data.Traffic volumes for over five thousand locations statewide.Traffic data collected from 176 Automatic Traffic Recorder Stations.Section I contains tabulation by State Highway road numbers listing AADT(Annual Average Daily Traffic) at various milepoints along the highways, andincludes all vehicle totals in both directions unless identified as one-way traffic. Onethird of all State Highways were counted in 2013 and adjusted to 2013 AADT. TheAADT’s for the remaining two thirds of the State Highways were adjusted to reflectarea traffic growth trends. When a new highway is completed and opens to trafficfor only part of the year, the AADT as given in this tabulation, is presented as if thefacility was open to traffic for the entire year.The state highway numbering system has carried three highway numbers for manyyears that had a directional suffix. As ODOT has grown more dependent ondatabases, these three highways were often entered using specific numbers instead.In the Transportation Volume Tables, these highways are shifted to the ordercorresponding to those numbers, rather than the old designations. Pacific HighwayEast No. 1E (OR99E) will now be found as Highway 81. Pacific Highway West No.1W (OR99W) will now be found as Highway 91. Lower Columbia River HighwayNo. 2W (US30) will now be found as Highway 92.Also included are interchange ramp diagrams with volumes for Pacific Highway No.1 (I-5), Columbia River Highway No. 2 (I-84), Old Oregon Trail No. 6 (I-84), TheDalles-California Highway No. 4 (US 97), Sunset Highway No. 47 (US 26),Stadium Freeway Highway No. 61 (I-405), East Portland Freeway Highway No. 64(I-205), Beltline Highway No. 69 (OR569) in Eugene, McNary Highway No. 70 (I82), Beaverton – Tigard Highway No. 144 (OR 217), North Santiam Highway No.162 (OR 22), and Eugene – Springfield Highway No. 227 (I-105 & OR 126)Note I: The highway numbers seen throughout this publication are theOregon Department of Transportation internal highway numbers. Thesenumbers are not what you would see on road signs when driving on ourhighways. For those not familiar with our highway numbering system, thereare two Highway Cross Reference Tables provided in the front part ofSection I.Note II: The AADT’s provided in this publication are applicable for a givenrange of milepoints. Due to space constraints we are unable to indicate thebeginning and ending milepoints for which the AADT’s are applicable. Forinformation about the ranges please contact the TSM Unit at the phonenumber listed.5

With the replacement of ODOT’s previous inventory database, the following spurswere renumbered and shifted to the order corresponding to these new numbers ratherthan the old 1422450450455455455Highway NameBaker-Copperfield SpurRedwood SpurMcMinnville SpurEsplanade SpurFort Stevens SpurGold Hill SpurCelilo-Wasco SpurChiloquin SpurParma SpurHomedale SpurWeiser SpurPayette SpurOntario SpurSection II contains a summary of traffic data collected at Automatic TrafficRecorder Stations during the past ten years. Stations with less than ten years ofhistorical data are shown from the date of installation to the present date. The dataincludes yearly comparisons of AADT, seasonal variation by months, peak days,peak hours, and types of vehicles. The vehicle classification breakdown is based onmanual counts taken for a 16 or 24 hour period; a 48 hour tube count; or from thestation itself (only at permanent classifiers).The terminology as applied to vehicle classification or type is defined as follows:Motorcycles-Scooters -- All two or three-wheeled motorized vehicles. Typicalvehicles in this category have saddle type seats and are steered by handle bars ratherthan a wheel. This category includes motorcycles, motor scooters, mopeds, motorpowered bicycles, and three-wheel motorcycles.Passenger Cars -- All sedans, coupes, station wagons, and minivans manufacturedprimarily for the purpose of carrying passengers. This includes passenger carspulling recreational or other light trailers.Other Two-Axle, Four-Tire Single Unit Vehicles -- All two-axle, four-tire vehicles,other than passenger cars. Included in this classification are pickups, panels, vans,and other vehicles such as campers, motor homes, ambulances, hearses, andcarryalls. Other two-axle, four-tire single unit vehicles pulling recreational or otherlight trailers are included in this classification.6

Buses -- All vehicles manufactured and licensed as traditional passenger-carryingbuses with two axles and six tires or three or more axles. This category includesonly traditional buses (including school buses) functioning as passenger-carryingvehicles. All two-axle, four-tire minibuses should be classified as other two-axle,four-tire single unit vehicles. Modified buses should be considered to be a truck andbe appropriately classified.NOTE: In reporting information on trucks, the following criteria are used:a. Truck tractor units traveling without a trailer are consideredsingle unit trucks.b. A truck tractor unit pulling other truck tractor units in a "saddlemount” configuration are considered as one single unit truck andwill be defined only by the axles on the pulling unit.c. Vehicles are defined by the number of axles in contact withthe roadway. Therefore, "floating" axles are counted only whenin the down position.d. The term "trailer" includes both semi- and full trailers.Two-Axle, Six-tire, Single Unit Trucks -- All vehicles on a single frame, includingtrucks, camping and recreation vehicles, motor homes, etc., having two axles anddual rear wheels.Three-Axle Single Unit Trucks -- All vehicles on a single frame, including trucks,camping and recreational vehicles, motor homes, etc., having three axles.Four or More Axle Single Unit Trucks -- All trucks on a single frame with four ormore axles.Four or Less Axle Single Trailer Trucks -- All vehicles with four or less axlesconsisting of two units, one of which is a tractor or straight truck power unit.Five-Axle Single Trailer Trucks -- All five-axle vehicles consisting of two units, oneof which is a tractor or straight truck power unit.Six or More Axle Single Trailer Trucks -- All vehicles with six or more axlesconsisting of two units, one of which is a tractor or straight truck power unit.Five or Less Axle Multi - Trailer Trucks -- All vehicles with five or less axlesconsisting of at least three units, one of which is a tractor or straight truck powerunit.7

Six-Axle Multi - Trailer Trucks -- All six-axle vehicles consisting of at least threeunits, one of which is a tractor or straight truck power unit.Seven or More Axle Multi - Trailer Trucks -- All vehicles with seven or more axlesconsisting of at least three units, one of which is a tractor or straight truck powerunit. 8
