Anchor: #i1007670Section 1: Introduction
Traffic-counting work is dangerous! As a traffic counter, you are required to spend time on and near roadways, many of which are high-speed facilities with large volumes of traffic. Failure to follow safe practices could result in serious injury or death.
Safety is a primary consideration while counting traffic, for both the counter and the traveling public. Traffic counters must follow prescribed safety practices while counting traffic.
