Traffic measurements are the basic tool that is used to obtain information about traffic conditions. They allow identification of road infrastructure that requires modernization or complete reconstruction. The information obtained is needed to properly manage, maintain and plan the development of the road network. Data obtained from General Traffic Measurements are used to make decisions related to the classification of roads and to determine their priorities on the road network at the national and international scale. Information from the GTM allows to evaluate traffic conditions and the possibility of introducing changes to the organization of traffic.
