“Traffic Count Cameras Coming to Select Locations on Albany and Ulster Avenues”
Starting Sunday, June 14, the Ulster County Transportation Council will begin traffic counts at several locations on Albany and Ulster Avenues in the City of Kingston and the Town of Ulster. You may notice small cameras positioned near roadways and crosswalks along with small black tubes laid across roadways. These are temporary counters. The cameras will count the number of pedestrians and cyclists, along with the number of vehicles making turns. The tubes will count the number of vehicles, type of vehicle, and speed.
These counts help us assess travel patterns and inform transportation planning and investment decisions. No personal data is
collected — just pedestrian, cyclist, and vehicle movements. Pictures of the type of cameras and tubes being used are attached.”
