Traffic Counts
The City of Federal Way collects two types of traffic counts, Turning Movement Counts (turning movements at intersections during the evening peak rush-hour between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm) and Average Daily Traffic (a unit of measure for traffic on a roadway taken at mid-block, representing the average total traffic volume in any single day). These counts can be accessed by going to the Traffic Count Map.
