Traffic count equipment has been set up on Woodmont Avenue in downtown Bethesda. It is on the stretch of Woodmont near The Chase and The Edge behind the Bethesda Metro Center. There's more than just a rubber strip across the road, however. More sophisticated equipment can collect data on traffic volume, direction, speed, turning counts, and vehicle classification.

Surely to extend the two-way bike lane, which makes a lot of sense since the FOUR, wide southbound lanes are completely unnecessary and help make those two blocks south of OGR feel eerily desolate. Like something out of midtown Detroit where you have roads that are 3x wider than the population size demands.
What kind of information are they trying to obtain and what would they do with it?
Is this data collection ahead of a decision to be made ?
It looks like there is also one at Woodmont and Wisconsin (near NIH).
