Manual counts:
• A manual classified count (MCC) involves counting all the
vehicles passing a selected location on a road for a pre-
determined period of time.
• The count is conducted by persons standing at the roadside and
recording passing vehicles on a form, hence the term “manual Scale:
traffic count”. This distinguishes it from counts by machines that
Orientation:
can record passing vehicles automatically, which are know as
“automatic traffic counts”.
• The count records individual vehicles by categories (i.e. a truck
or car) and the direction they are travelling in. This is the reason
it is called a ‘classified count’.  Group members:
