Lowest interstate AADT?

[cl94]

Just off the chart, there are some low ones in New York as well. I-81 is at 4852 between the Thousand Islands bridges and likely the 4th lowest 2DI in the northeast. For comparison, I-781 is a little under 6800.

I knew I'd miss something.  I'll edit the original post.  For some reason I didn't have I-781 on my clinching spreadsheet and I got the wrong number for I-81 when digging through the .xml file from New York.

I-81 is a 2013 estimate. Don't remember the actual count.

From the data I was using, it shows up as 4,998.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I compiled a whole bunch of AADT data (most, if not all, from 2013):

Lowest AADT 2dis
4. I-95 ME 1682 @ 300
5. I-15 MT 1790 @ 396
6. I-89 VT 2000 @ 130
7. I-91 VT 2100 @ 177
8. I-90 WY 2198 @ 59

Lowest AADT 3dis
1. I-180 IL 2200 @ mile 10

Now that is stunning.  Only five stretches of 2dis have an AADT lower than I-180.

And at least to me, I think the fact that one of those isn't at an international boundary means that I-90 in WY is our winner of loneliest interstate.

Lowest AADT 2dis
9. I-94 MT 2530 @ 229
19. I-94 ND 3868 @ 0

Interesting how there's such a difference in 21 miles of nothing in E MT. Wibaux, MT isn't exactly a booming metropolis that could account for 1300 AADT. 2013 was towards the end of the peak of the Bakken oil boom, so it'll be interesting to see the 2015 numbers now that the oilfield traffic has dropped quite a bit.

Well, looks like I had outdated data for Montana (or at least data that didn't match up with ND's data) so it is now corrected.  3170 @ MM 241 in MT now.  ND was my most recent available data.  Still a delta of ~700 cars though.

FWIW, 2 of those 5 are Canadian border crossings...

4 are actually.  (Houlton, ME; Sweetgrass, MT; Derby, VT; and Highgate Springs, VT)

The Houlton, ME example is near the border crossing, but not at the border crossing...I-95's traffic is lower west of that last interchange at US 2 than at the border crossing itself.  I know that from MaineDOT GIS data I have.

The way you described the Montana example (using the milemarker) puts it south of the last interchange.

New Jersey

- No traffic on Sundays (due to local blue laws)
- Reflectors on highways (except the Turnpike)
- No trucks in left lane
- Lights on Wipers on law
- Keep right pass left law
- No cell phone while driving

Either this was supposed to be a response to another thread, or you don't know what AADT references.

Might have just been that way I accumulated the data.  When I had a stretch of highway with the same AADT, I took the median mileage marker: i.e. if miles 240-260 all had the same traffic, I put down 250.  I'm pretty sure (I don't have the data in front of me since I'm at work) that the I-15 data is consistent to the "end of the road".

I think the plant is open for I-180 in Illinois but traffic isnt . Most of the 2000 a day are using it as part of IL 29 from north Peoria to 80.
I mentioned the inder 10K routes in Illinois. Maybe everyone else can list their under 10K routes so we can finish Zmappers map

I-57 near Cairo drops under 10,000.  FWIW, all the machinery in the Hennepin steel plant along I-180 was auctioned off early this year by Arcelor Mittal. New owner IPS Steel hopes to attract some other kind of business(es) there, with its ready made rail and highway access and ample electricity from the nearby Hennepin Ameren power plant, but no major tenants AFAIK.  The newer Marquis Energy ethanol plant north of the steel mill has basically kept the NS rail service in business as the only major shipper on the line west of Streator.
