  About the Speed Charts

The speed charts are dynamically generated using speed average data from the Houston TranStar AVI Traffic Monitoring System. Each chart plots lines representing typical traffic speed averages on a freeway segment between 5 AM and 8 PM each weekday. The averages are calculated using historical data from the system and are updated frequently. Another line represents the current days' speed averages. Gaps in this line indicate a lack of speed data for the freeway segment being viewed.
