A typical monitored road in Florida sees 9,922 vehicles per day, while its 47,793 miles of monitored roads together handle 524,298,426 vehicle-miles traveled per day (≈191 billion per year). Trucks are 8.6% of traffic, close to the 9.3% across the US.

Busier roads than 92% of states nationwide

Florida's average daily traffic volume is 42% higher than the national average - 9,922 vehicles per day against 6,986 - suggesting more traffic load per road - a busier backdrop for retail sites, at the cost of slower access. In total volume terms, its road network carries about 6.9% of the national total of vehicle-miles. Florida carries more traffic than 92% of states nationwide.

Journey times here (33.2 minutes on average) closely track the national level. Its average travel time of 33.2 minutes is longer than 52% of states nationwide.

At 26% higher than the national level, the 23.8% congestion ratio signals more pronounced congestion - a factor for delivery windows and signal timing.

Highway vs. Non-Highway Traffic Analysis

Trafficvehicles per day23,020
Trucks11.3%
Average travel time38.2 min
Congestion ratio42.8%
Drivers’ average age46.8 yrs
Drivers’ average income$86,167

A significant share of driving in Florida, 44% of vehicle-miles, happens on highways. The average highway carries 23,020 vehicles per day, 156% more than the average non-highway road in the same area, which carries 8,980 vehicles per day.

Highways make up 19% of the monitored road miles (9,295 miles, 61,106 segments), so they carry more than their share: 228,120,908 vehicle-miles traveled per day (≈83.3 billion per year).

By highway travel volume, that ranks Florida in the top 3 states nationwide.

More highway trucks than 96% of states nationwide

Highway truck concentration here runs 13% lower than the national average, at 11.3%. The highway traffic mix is typical for the US: neither freight- nor commuter-dominated.

70% of states nationwide see a higher highway truck share than Florida's 11.3%. Florida's highway truck count is higher than 96% of states nationwide, at roughly 2,606 trucks per day.

Local roads carry more than half of all travel in Florida (56% of vehicle-miles). The average non-highway road carries 8,980 vehicles per day.

Spread over 38,498 miles and 849,569 segments, 81% of the road network, local roads carry a lighter load per mile: 296,177,522 vehicle-miles traveled per day (≈108 billion per year). Trucks make up 6.5% of non-highway traffic, about 1 in 15 vehicles.

Older drivers than 76% of states nationwide

Non-highway roads carry a truck concentration that's 42% lower than the highway network.

At 23% higher than the national level, the non-highway congestion ratio of 22.6% signals more friction on local roads.

Florida's average driver income is higher than 54% of states nationwide. Florida's median driver age is higher than 76% of states nationwide.

How Florida compares

Florida moves more traffic than any nearby state

Set against the average of the 4 states nearest to it, Florida moves 2.5 times the total daily travel and is 37.7% more congested; it has the busiest roads of the five. It is where traffic concentrates in this corner of the map - the local bottleneck, with more vehicles per road AND less room to absorb them.

Together, those three counties carry 23.9% of all the vehicle-miles measured in the state.

Ranked by daily vehicle-miles, across the 67 counties in Florida with a published traffic page. Vehicle-miles is total travel, so this ranks by traffic MOVED rather than by how busy a typical road is.

How to read these road counts
  • The first number is AADT, annual average daily traffic: the vehicles passing a point on an average day, both directions combined and trucks included. On a divided highway both carriageways are added together.
  • Traffic changes along a road, with more near interchanges and towns and less in open country. Every figure for a road describes its busiest stretch in the county, so the two rankings show the same numbers for the same road.
  • The second number is the trucks on that stretch, a part of its AADT. The bar splits the AADT into cars and light vehicles (blue) and trucks (amber).
  • See segment-level AADT for any road on TrafficZoom.
