This
page last updated September 10, 2023 |
Below
are charts and maps tabulating Annual Average Daily Traffic
(AADT)
counts on San Antonio's freeways for 2022. The comments,
rankings and calculations are the author's own analysis based on raw
data from
TxDOT.
The
stats
below are area-wide. For traffic counts only on a
specific corridor, see that freeway's individual page elsewhere on this
site.
Summary
Traffic
counts in 2022 mostly showed a continued post-pandemic recovery, with
about half of the counter locations now showing volumes equal to or
greater than 2019, and another 22 within 5% of their 2019 counts.
There
was no change in the top six rankings since last year, with all but one
being on Loop 410. The top spot continues to be Loop 410 near
Nacogdoches, with over 300,000 vehicles per day. Because this counter
location was new last year, there isn't a pre-pandemic count
for
comparison, but it did increase 1.75% over last year, and is slightly
more than the top spot in 2019, which was 305,674 at Loop 410 and
Blanco.
Like
last year, all of the top 20 traffic counts are located on Loop 410
North, I-35 North, and I-10 West.
With
the pandemic recovery still continuing in 2021, I'm still comparing to
the pre-pandemic numbers in 2019. The top growth spots since then are
widely scattered. The top growth location was US 281 just inside Loop
1604, possibly attributable to the completion of phase 1 of the US 281
expansion project in 2022. The number two spot for the second year in a
row was I-35 near Fischer Rd., likely due to a new Amazon center and
other industrial development nearby. Most of the remaining top 20
locations were in one of three clusters: the Loop 1604 West and SH 151
corridors, the I-10 West corridor outside Loop 410, and I-35 North in
the Schertz area. Two remaining locations were outliers: Loop 1604 near
Pat Booker Rd., and I-10 near Loop 1604 on the East Side.
Like with the three-year
growth list, the list of top growth locations over the last decade has
a large cluster of spots in the Loop 1604 West and
SH 151 corridors, I-35 at Fischer, I-10 on the far northwest side, and
I-10 East near Loop 1604. However, additional locations along I-10 East
outside Loop 410 also made the list, and there was a cluster of
locations along
eastern Wurzbach Pkwy.
As
a reminder, TxDOT made some sigificant changes to traffic counter
locations last year, so many locations don't have data from previous
years.
