This dataset describes proposed speed limits on Collector and Residential roads as per the new default speed limit bylaw within the City of Calgary that takes effect May 31, 2021.

Traffic incidents within Calgary updated every 10 minutes. For more information, see the Calgary Traffic Report page

Daily bicycle and pedestrian counts are available from sensors set up on the Peace Bridge, cycle tracks and Stephen Avenue. Using an Eco-Counter machine, cyclists are detected using loops embedded in the pavement. The data provides the locations. The data for these locations is in the Bike and Pedestrian Counts dataset - https://data.calgary.ca/Transportation-Transit/Bike-and-Pedestrian-Counts/pede-tz7g

Permanent counts stations are used in trend analysis of traffic patterns around the city. The stations allow us to create seasonal and weekly variations for traffic data so that we can normalize any portable studies that are of short duration.

The Regional Transportation Model (RTM) is a computer simulation of the city and surrounding region. This file contains the road network assumptions for the 2015 Scenario from the 2015 CTP/MDP Scenario Series. This series is a time series of future forecasts that are used in transportation planning analysis. The series contains five horizons from 2015 to 2076 and includes roads classified as collector and above and does not include local roads. his data is a representation, not an exact replica, of the road network and is intended to represent the road network that Calgary Region residents may experience provided the anticipated changes in infrastructure and land use occur. For more information see the Transportation Forecasting website: www.calgary.ca/forecasting. Versions: 2015 Horizon: 092618; 2028 Horizon: 092618; 2039 Horizon: 101118; 2048 Horizon: 101118; 2076 Horizon: 092718.

Trip segments have been generated from the road and pathway network. Each segment provides an aggregate count of the number of trips where any part of the GPS route for that trip intersects with the segment.

The trips in this dataset occurred between July 1st, 2019 and September 30th, 2019. Excluded from this dataset are trips that lasted fewer than 30 seconds or 100 metres, and trips where the geospatial data quality made it unsuitable for analysis.

This data was collected as part of The City of Calgary's two-year shared electric scooter and dockless bike share pilots.

The trips in this dataset occurred between July 1st, 2019 and September 30th, 2019. Excluded from this dataset are trips that lasted fewer than 30 seconds or 100 metres, and trips where the geospatial data quality made it unsuitable for analysis.

Trip start times have been generalized to 1-hour intervals. Trip origins and destinations have been generalized by tiling the city with hexagonal bins measuring 30,000 square metres each. The latitude and longitude coordinates are the centrepoint of the corresponding bin.

Every year in May, The City conducts the Central Business District (CBD) cordon count. The cordon count is performed at 31 locations around the CBD over a three week time period, collecting data on how people travel into and out of downtown Calgary. The CBD cordon circles the downtown with the Bow River to the north and the railway tracks to the south and from 11 Street in the west to the Elbow River in the east. These data represent the total number of persons entering (inbound) and exiting (outbound) at each location, by modes, during a 16 hour time period. This raw dataset is NOT normalized to average weekday. It is a snapshot of the inbound and outbound activity on a single day at these locations and reflects conditions specific to that day such as construction, lane closures, weather, etc. Therefore, data may not be directly comparable between locations or years.
*Attachment is a summary of the inbound and outbound totals and mode of travel.* For additional information on cordon counts, see About --> Source URL.
