Screenline Counting Stations

Screenline Counting Stations are located along a screenline wherever counts are conducted, usually located where roads, transitways and bike/walkways cross the screenline. Screenlines are imaginary lines typically drawn along features such as rivers or railways, which have a minimum number of crossing points, making it more manageable to count traffic going from one side to the other. A screenline (e.g. LN02, LN10) is made up of several stations placed to count east-west or north-south travel which in total capture all major travel routes across the imaginary screenline. The screenlines are located along geographical barriers, i.e.: rivers, greenbelt - generally where a number of major transportation facilities are the main flow. To be truly representative of the flow, there is a station at each intersecting road, transit, and bike/walkway path on the screenline.
