Traffic Speed, Volume & Classification Studies

2023 Fall Traffic Counts are underway starting the week of September 25th. 

View the 2023 Traffic Count Locations.

The City of Oregon City has been conducting traffic volume studies since 1978. We have historical traffic volume counts from 1978, 1980, 1989, 1990, as well as more current ones. Any of our historic studies are available for review. Our most recent studies are available online and have been conducted every 3 years, or as needed. Starting in 2023, the City divided the study locations into thirds and will collect one third every year.

If you have any questions about the studies or would like to view historical data, please email Katie Englund or call her at 971-204-4612.

Oregon City Studies

For ease of use, we have categorized our studies by street names. Please refer to the alphabetical listings in the subpages of this section to find information on a particular street. Note that not all streets have studies available.

Different kinds of traffic studies are performed and identified as follows:

• Volume: This is the most common type of traffic count which records the number of vehicles
• Speed: This is a traffic count which measures the speed in which vehicles are traveling
• Classification: These are the least common counts. The counter is set up to attempt to classify each vehicle according to number and configuration of axles
