Short Count Factoring Guide
Short Count Factoring Guide (PDF 963KB): This guide provides a general overview of traffic counting programs, as well as a more detailed discussion of suggested practice in relation to short duration traffic count field and office techniques. The intent is to encourage high standards and uniform practices among local traffic counting programs within the State of Washington so that an accurate representation of traffic on our public roadways is available to all interested parties. It is an informational guide only and does not constitute a specification or a statement of required practice.
Slow down on ice and snow.
It's easier to skid or lose control traveling at higher speeds. Give yourself more time to stop.
Carry chains, practice installing them.
Winter conditions could mean chains are required on your route. Practice putting them on your vehicle ahead of time.
Pack your winter car kit.
Carry extra supplies like warm clothing, ice scraper and brush, jumper cables and other emergency items.
