Our data indicates an estimated average traffic volume of 3,650 vehicles per day in Wyoming that results in 21,843,304 vehicle-miles traveled per day (≈8.0 billion per year). The traffic stream is comprised of an average of 1 truck for every 6 vehicles. Typical time spent behind the wheel per trip is 34.5 minutes, which already accounts for delays at signals, intersections, and congestion.
Analytical insight
When compared to the US national averages: Wyoming sees 48% lower average daily traffic volume than the national average (3,650 vehicles per day against 6,986), suggesting less demand on each road - a critical factor for logistics and site planning. Network-wide, Wyoming accounts for about 0.3% of the national total, at 21,843,304 vehicle-miles traveled per day (≈8.0 billion per year). Journey times run 4% higher than the national level, at 34.5 minutes on average. At 39% lower than the national level, the 11.5% congestion ratio signals smoother traffic flow - crucial for traffic control improvement and logistics planning. By volume, Wyoming's 3,650 vehicles per day outpaces 10% of states nationwide. On travel time, Wyoming runs longer than 83% of states nationwide.
