On-Road and Off-Road Parking Counts

At Traffic Data Count, our On-Road and Off-Road Parking Count services provide detailed insights into vehicle parking behavior, availability, and demand in urban and suburban areas.

These surveys help urban planners, traffic engineers, and local authorities make informed decisions for better parking management.

What Are On-Road and Off-Road Parking Counts?

Parking counts are surveys conducted to record how many vehicles are parked in a given area over a specific time. These surveys are done to study parking demand, usage patterns, and availability of parking spaces in urban and suburban areas.

On-Road Parking Counts track vehicles parked along public streets, including metered areas, residential zones, and commercial roads.
Off-Road Parking Counts focus on spaces such as parking lots, garages, malls, office complexes, railway stations, airports, and bus terminals.

Why Are Parking Counts Important?

To identify parking shortages and high-demand zones
Help city planners improve parking infrastructure
Assist in implementing paid parking or smart parking solutions
Support traffic decongestion strategies
Ensure efficient land use in commercial or residential areas

Difference Between On-Road and Off-Road Parking
