Ames, IA- Traffic on Iowa roadways was down in the last month of 2022. Radio Iowa reports that Stuart Anderson with the Iowa DOT tracks the numbers. "Overall our traffic in December was down seven percent compared to our pre-pandemic December and it was down across all systems," Anderson said. Recent lower traffic volumes have been attributed to higher gas prices, but Anderson said this time, winter weather is to blame. "We do attribute that to the severe weather we had at the end of December and the impact on travel on our public roadways," he says. "And that is reflected that we do have preliminary January numbers which are showing traffic is now four above the pre-pandemic January so we do think that is just a blip due to winter weather." Anderson made his comments during a recent meeting of the Iowa Transportation Commission.
