Quality Counts

Implementing major infrastructure improvements, such as new signals or stop signs, starts with meeting rigorous warrant requirements. These warrants serve as the essential gatekeepers for project funding and approval, making accurate data your most valuable asset in the planning phase.

Quality Counts provides the certified, high-fidelity traffic data necessary to conduct safety studies with total confidence. Our video-based collection offers the "inarguable proof" you need to satisfy regulatory standards and move forward with funding requests. When you partner with us, you’re ensuring that your engineering interventions are backed by the precise, verifiable numbers required to secure investment and enhance mobility.

We’re celebrating 10 years with David Bernard, Associate Vice President of Operations at QC!
David joined QC as a Project Manager and quickly established himself as a hardworking, dependable leader who was always willing to step up and help wherever needed. Over the last decade, he has played a major role in the growth and success of our operations, while continuing to motivate those around him through his positive attitude, leadership, and team-first mentality.
We are extremely grateful for everything David has contributed to QC over the past 10 years and are excited for what the future holds together.
Congratulations on this milestone, Dave, and thank you for all you do! 💪

Did you know that a standard four-way intersection is home to 56 potential "conflict points", those being the specific spots where the paths of road users cross and the risk of a collision exists.

Of these, 32 are vehicle-to-vehicle, but for advocates, the most critical number is the 24 vehicle-to-pedestrian conflict points. Every one of these represents a moment where a life is at risk if infrastructure, timing or human abilities fail.

Safe intersection design isn't about moving cars faster; it’s about reducing the frequency and severity of these conflicts.

Eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries starts with understanding the context. We provide the accurate data that turns a complex intersection into a predictable, safe environment.

Did you know that the 85th percentile speed is the industry standard for setting "credible" and enforceable speed limits?

It represents the speed at or below which 85% of motorists travel under free-flowing conditions. Traffic engineers rely on this metric because it reflects the collective judgment of the majority of drivers regarding what is safe and reasonable for a specific stretch of road.

As Vision Zero initiatives expand, the conversation is shifting. While the 85th percentile tells us how people are driving, "Target Speed" focuses on how we want them to drive. Our equipment and technicians are certified provide the high-precision data necessary to identify where current behavior and safety goals diverge, allowing for better-informed engineering interventions.

April is shaping up to be a milestone month for QC! We’re hitting the road to connect with transportation professionals, planners, and engineers across the country at seven different industry events.

From Houston to Newport, our team is ready to discuss how our innovative data solutions can support your 2026 project goals. Here's where the Quality Counts team will be in April:
• April 8 - 10: TexITE District Annual Meeting - Houston, TX (Exhibiting)
• April 12 - 15: Southern District ITE Annual Meeting - Biloxi, MS (Exhibiting)
• April 14 - 16: NJ TransAction Conference & Expo - Atlantic City, NJ (Exhibiting)
• April 15 - 17: Mid Colonial District ITE Annual Meeting - Lancaster, PA (Exhibiting)
• April 22 - 24: California Bicycle Summit - Sacramento, CA (Attending)
• April 27: Colorado Transportation Symposium - Denver, CO (Exhibiting)
• April 29 - May 1: Northeastern District ITE Annual Meeting - Newport, RI (Exhibiting)

Planning to attend any of these events? Stop by our booth or reach out to coordinate a meetup.
