INTRODUCTION

The 2013 New York City Screenline Traffic Flow report is an annual publication prepared by the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT), and funded by the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) under the Planning Program of the Moving Ahead for Progress (MAP-21) Act.

The report presents vehicular volumes and historical comparisons across the Bronx–Westchester, Queens–Nassau, Manhattan–New Jersey, Staten Island–New Jersey, and Brooklyn–Queens screenlines.

The average hourly volumes by direction for 2013 are presented in tabular form and in histograms for each monitored roadway facility. Historical comparisons are based on screenline data collected in 1963, 1973, 1982, 1986, and 1993-2012. The statistical analysis presented in the report was performed by staff of NYCDOT during the 2013–2014 and 2014–2015 program years.

Each of the 47 screenline monitoring locations has been classified under a highway functional classification system. Functional classification is the method by which streets and highways are grouped into classes, or systems, according to the character of service each roadway provides.

The five functional classifications are defined as follows:

1. Interstate - connects population centers across state lines.

2. Principal Arterial - serves major centers of activity of an urban area and carries a high proportion of the total urban area travel on a minimum of mileage.

3. Minor Arterial - interconnects with and augments urban principal arterials; provides service for trips of moderate length at a somewhat lower level of travel mobility than principal arterials; distributes travel to geographic areas smaller than those identified with the higher system.

4. Collector Street - provides both land access service and traffic circulation within residential neighborhoods, and commercial and industrial areas. Differs from the arterial systems in that facilities on the collector system may penetrate residential neighborhoods, distributing trips from arterials to the ultimate destination. Conversely, collector streets also collect traffic from local streets in residential neighborhoods and channel it into the arterial system.

5. Local Street - comprises all facilities not on one of the higher systems. Serves primarily to provide direct access to abutting land and access to the higher order systems. Offers the lowest level of mobility and usually contains no bus or truck route.

Note: NYCDOT uses the averages of vehicular volumes from selected representative weekdays. Publications from other sources may be based on alternative computation methodologies for some facilities, notably the tolled bridges and tunnels, possibly yielding different results for those facilities.

Growth was spurred by the opening of the Verrazano‐Narrows Bridge between Brooklyn and Staten Island in 1964. 

Much of the new traffic was simply passing through Staten Island.
