Annual Free-Flow Speeds per Network Link

Overview

The free-flow speed table contains information about annual average free-flow speeds per network link. Free-flow speed is defined as the 66th percentile speed during off-peak hours, meaning that 66% of vehicles are traveling at or below this speed on a given road segment during non-busy times. This data is available for 2021, 2022, and 2023, and is updated annually. It is available for download in shapefile, geojson, and CSV format in the Replica application.
