TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: John F. Knipe, Assistant City Engineer
DATE: April 14, 1988
SUBJECT: Truck Traffic Counts
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
As previously directed by the City Council, truck count data
were obtained at strategic entrance points to the City to
establish a baseline condition prior to the 101 Freeway
construction project in the San Fernando Valley. Truck
traffic counts were conducted from 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. and
from 5:00 - 6: 00 p.m. , with the results shown in Figure 1.
A peak hour and an off-peak hour were selected to provide an
overview of truck traffic patterns throughout the day.
In general, trucks consisting of three or more axles
averaged 12% of the traffic stream during the morning
off-peak hour and 3% of the traffic stream during the
evening peak hour. The totals shown in Figure 1 reflect
only trucks with three or more axles because the operating
characteristics of 2 axle trucks are generally not
significantly different from those of passenger cars. If
two axle trucks were considered in the truck totals, truck
traffic during the morning off-peak hour would average
approximately 22% of the traffic stream and truck traffic
during the evening peak hour would average approximately 20%
of the traffic stream.
It is emphasized that this data represents no more than an
overview of truck traffic patterns through the City. It is
our understanding that the Cities of Simi Valley and
Thousand Oaks are also conducting truck traffic count
programs for similar purposes. This information will be
provided to the City as it becomes available.

If the City wishes to estimate the impact of the 101
widening project on truck traffic within the City it is
suggested that additional counts be conducted late this
year, when it is expected that the freeway project will
divert the greatest number of trucks through the City.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
This material is provided for information only and no action
is necessary.
