Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means its official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    Traffic Counting

    Counting traffic volumes and vehicle types is important to ensuring the department and stakeholders have accurate data to use in decision making. These resources help traffic counters conduct these counts accurately and safely. See section 6.12 and 6.13 of the department's Traffic Engineering Manual (Pub 46) (PDF) for requirements for workers' attire and specialized operations.

    PennDOT's Traffic Counting video covers many aspects of setting counts in the field, with particular emphasis on safety. You can also download the video (500 MB) to save it for future reference.
