Since 2015, on some roads managed by the Metropolitan City of Milan, an infringement detection system (in particular exceeding speed limits) has been put in place, the devices of which remain in operation 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. The devices carry out a systematic and daily count of all vehicles passing on the observed roadway, regardless of the detection of the violation, thus providing the possibility of obtaining a measurement of traffic which, although restricted to some important positions, is worthy of interest for continuity of the relevance of the data over time. The Dataset contains the processing of the counts provided by the equipment. Such data is only valid and meaningful at the point at which it was actually measured. Due to the very nature of the measurement activity, the data cannot be separated from the precise location of the counting section, shown in the table. We are therefore warned that it is not correct to extend the validity of the count to other sections of the road as the presence of a ramp at an interchange, by adding or removing vehicular flows, can change, even significantly, the extent of the flow upstream and downstream. downstream of the measurement section.
