Traffic data from the TLC-GIS Department and the Florida Department of Transportation
calculates the average daily traffic volume on Leon County roads per year. Traffic patterns near
new housing developments can be closely observed between the years 2015-2020, although we
only observe up to 2019 due to possible traffic irregularities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Comparing data from 2015 to 2019, there is a __ percent increase in traffic volume on ___ street.
While additional housing facilities led to higher traffic volumes, supplementary routes
dedicated to pedestrian and bicycle traffic have not appeared. Observable pedestrian traffic has
remained relatively low, although the rate has not yet been quantified. However, more students at
Florida State University commute to campus by car than they do by walking or bicycling.
Urban infrastructure within the college town community is not tailored for pedestrian
traffic, however it must adapt in order for the region to maintain steady flows of traffic. Students
residing in the area have the advantage of living in close proximity to campus, although
pedestrian traffic is not widely encouraged or convenient in opposition to driving.
