Traffic Volume Map

The Traffic Volume Map is under construction. For current traffic counts in Overland Park, email [email protected].

The Traffic volume map shows traffic volumes for specific intersections or road segments in Overland Park.

The data is updated as soon as it is processed from the City’s traffic counters. You can see the average daily traffic volume on each approach of the intersection, as well as the total daily entering traffic volume in the intersection.

Purple icons indicate where traffic counters accrue data.

Data Collection

City staff use multiple methods to collect data. In some instances, staff place a black, rubber hose-like tube across a selected street. When a vehicle drives over the tube, it is counted and the information is recorded in a small box at the side of the road. In other cases, video data is recorded and processed using machine learning. They may also use radar units on the side of the road to count vehicles. These readings are typically taken over a three-day period during the middle of the week and averaged into a single average daily traffic volume count.
