Austin Transportation & Public Works maintains road condition sensors across the city which monitor the temperature and surface condition of roadways. These sensors enable our Mobility Management Center to stay apprised of potential roadway freezing events and intervene when necessary.

This data is updated continuously every 5 minutes.

Through the 2016 and 2020 Bonds, the City of Austin is reviewing opportunities for substandard street improvements and capital renewal projects. The 2016 Mobility Bond included $11 million for preliminary engineering on substandard streets and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure.

The Urban Trails dataset describes a specific type of pedestrian and bicycle-user infrastructure. The ideal design of an Urban Trail is an off-street, 12 foot wide concrete path that can accommodate a variety of trail users including bicyclists, pedestrians, wheel chair users, parents with strollers, kids on razor scooters and so on. Since the first Urban Trails Master Plan was adopted in September 2014 not all existing trail segments in this dataset strictly comply with the guidelines described in Appendix A: Trail Design Criteria of the Urban Trails Master Plan. The Urban Trails network is intended to be a part of the greater Active Transportation Network and may relate to the on-street bicycle network or the sidewalk network, as well as City of Austin parks. In this dataset, many Urban Trail endpoints connect to the City of Austin’s streets dataset or the City of Austin’s parks dataset.

The City of Austin will reconstruct Johnny Morris Road as part of the 2020 Mobility Bond. The City of Austin Johnny Morris Road project is located between Loyola Lane and FM 969.

Austin Transportation and Public Works (TPW) is making changes on Parkfield Drive (Mearns Meadow Boulevard to Payton Gin Road) and near Wooldridge Elementary School to enhance safety and mobility for all.

Traffic count data collected from the several GRIDSMART optical traffic detectors deployed by the City of Austin.

***This dataset is no longer updated because these devices are no longer maintained***

The Travel Detectors dataset ( https://data.austintexas.gov/Transportation-and-Mobility/Traffic-Detectors/qpuw-8eeb ) is related to this dataset using the 'ATD Device ID' field. The Travel Detectors dataset provides more information on device location and status.

The average speed measurements may not have been calibrated for all intersections. All measurements have been collected using automated machine vision processes and have not been validated.
