Traffic On
1-75 Heavy
Traffic count figures for February, just
released by the Georgia Department of Tran
sportation, show that an average of 12,351
vehicles passed each of the 47 continuous count
stations on a typical day of the month. This is an
increase of traffic from the 11,267 count in
January, as a reflection of improving weather,
and this is also the busiest February on record.
Traffic was up 4.1 percent from February 1977
and up 12.6 percent from February 1975.
The average daily traffic figure for the year,
based on the first two months’ observations and
a future projection, is 12,652 vehicles. This is 2.2
percent more than the 1977 average and is 22.0
percent more than the 1971 figure.
The new information shows growth patterns on
the four major traveled ways in the state. Traffic
on 1-20, measured near Covington, showed a 4.9
percent increase over February 1977 and a 20
percent increase over January 1975. An average
of readings at Calhoun and Perry on 1-75 show an
increase of 10.5 percent over February 1977 and
17.5 percent over February 1975. On 1-85,
measured near Carnesville, this February was
busy with 8.7 percent more traffic than last
February and 19 percent more than in February
1975. Finally, 1-95 traffic this February was up
18.6 percent from last year and 41.6 percent more
than February 1976; no data were recorded in
1975 on that road.
February traffic was busier on all types of
roads than last year. On non-interstate urban
roads, traffic was up 1.9 percent from February
1977, and on interstate urban roads it was 3.6
percent more than last February. On non
interstate rural roads the traffic was up 3.1
percent from the February 1977 figure, and on
interstate rural roads the traffic showed an 11
percent gain over lat year.
