Description: Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) ratings for non-access controlled roadway segments in the Chicago, IL metropolitan area for the year 2022. LTS ratings for roadway segments were calculated based on a methodology from the University of Minnesota’s Accessibility Observatory. The methodology incorporates roadway values from OpenStreetMap (OSM) for the year 2022: roadway tag, roadway restrictions, shared-street status, shared-busway status, lane configuration, posted roadway speed, and existing bicycle facilities. Roadways values are generated from 1 to 4, with 1 as least stressful for bicycle travel, and 4 as most stress for bicycle travel. The data is for planning-level purposes only, and it is updated annually.
