Nationwide Traffic Censuses
2010 Road Traffic Census
The road traffic counts for the 2010 census were conducted manually at 1000 count locations for motorways and federal roads. For state and county roads, the values were determined using 3125 count locations with the help of automatic traffic counts as part of a traffic monitoring survey. Traffic counting on the remaining 714 locations was taken as estimated traffic volumes.
