Dated versions never change. ## Query The query API returns only the rows you ask for, as JSON, NDJSON or CSV, from the same typed rows as the files. It needs no key. Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-traffic-by-hour-and-day/rows. Counts and sums: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-traffic-by-hour-and-day/aggregate. - Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-traffic-by-hour-and-day/rows?limit=5 - Aggregate: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-traffic-by-hour-and-day/aggregate?group=hour&metric=avg.weekday_average Each filter is `field=operator.value` in the query string, and every filter must match. A number or date field compares as a number or date, and a text field compares as text. Values are case-sensitive except with `ilike`. Prefix `not.` to negate a filter, as `not.eq.value`. Operators: `eq.value`, `neq.value`, `gt.value`, `gte.value`, `lt.value`, `lte.value`, `like.*text*`, `ilike.*text*`, `in.(a,b,c)`, `is.null`. - `select`: Fields to return, comma-separated. Every field when absent. - `order`: `field.asc` or `field.desc`, comma-separated. The publisher's row order when absent. - `limit`: Rows per page, 1 to 10,000. 100 when absent. - `offset`: Rows to skip. The `next` URL in each answer sets it for you. - `group`: On `aggregate`, fields to group by, comma-separated. - `metric`: On `aggregate`, `count`, `sum.field`, `avg.field`, `min.field` or `max.field`, comma-separated. `count` when absent. - `format`: `json`, `ndjson` or `csv`. JSON carries the provenance header, and the others carry it in response headers. Without a version the API answers from the newest loaded version, and that answer changes when the publisher releases again. Put `versions//` before `rows` or `aggregate` for an answer that never changes. `/api/v1/datasets//versions` lists the loaded versions. The API allows 60 requests in 10 seconds from one address. Above that it answers 429 for 10 seconds with a `Retry-After` header, a `RateLimit-Policy` header and a JSON body that gives the limit. Every API answer carries the same `RateLimit-Policy`. A client should wait the `Retry-After` seconds, or read the files, which have no limit.

Open https://publicdata.au/d/qld-traffic-by-hour-and-day/latest/data.csv. It redirects to the newest dated version, which is https://publicdata.au/d/qld-traffic-by-hour-and-day/v/2026-06-03/data.csv today.

Yes. https://publicdata.au/d/qld-traffic-by-hour-and-day/v/2026-06-03/data.xlsx is a workbook with the 84,032 rows on a records sheet, the field list on a second sheet and the provenance on a third. The CSV also opens in Excel. https://publicdata.au/d/qld-traffic-by-hour-and-day/v/2026-06-03/data.csv.gz is the CSV at about a tenth of the size. ### What years does Traffic by hour of day and day of week, Queensland cover? The current version covers the years since 2025. Each release from Transport and Main Roads becomes a new dated version here, and earlier versions stay online. ### How often is Traffic by hour of day and day of week, Queensland updated? Transport and Main Roads releases it annually. This site checks the portal every week and adds a dated version when the file changes. ### Can I use Traffic by hour of day and day of week, Queensland commercially? Yes. CC BY 4.0 allows commercial use, redistribution and derived works as long as the attribution is kept. The attribution string is in this page's side column and inside every file. ### Is this the official source for Traffic by hour of day and day of week, Queensland? No. The publisher is Department of Transport and Main Roads, and its page is https://www.data.qld.gov.au/dataset/queensland-traffic-data-averaged-by-hour-of-day-and-day-of-week. This site republishes the publisher's file without changing its content. The original sits beside every version as source.xlsx with its SHA-256, so the two can be compared. ### How do I get only the rows for one region name? Every version has one JSON file per value of region_name, 6 files in the current version, listed with row counts at https://publicdata.au/d/qld-traffic-by-hour-and-day/v/2026-06-03/by/region_name/index.json. For example https://publicdata.au/d/qld-traffic-by-hour-and-day/v/2026-06-03/by/region_name/southern-queensland.json holds the 26,112 rows where region_name is Southern Queensland. A GeoJSON file sits beside each one. ### What coordinate system does Traffic by hour of day and day of week, Queensland use? The publisher gives longitude and latitude in decimal degrees on the WGS datum (EPSG:4326). They are published as given. The GeoJSON file uses the same coordinates, which is what GeoJSON expects. ### What is in each row? One traffic count site, direction of travel and hour of the day, with the average number of vehicles in that hour on each day of the week across 2025, the weekday and weekend averages, the site's road and location, and its TMR district and region. ### Why is this table for 2025 only? The publisher adds one workbook for each year, and each workbook names its sheet after its year. This entry reads the 2025 workbook. Earlier years are on the portal as separate files. ### Why are some day columns blank? The publisher leaves a day blank where a site has no average for that hour and day. The blank is kept as a null. ## What this site did to the data Cells were typed, headers were renamed to snake_case and the encoding was made UTF-8. Rows were left alone. Nothing is derived. The publisher's file is beside every version as `source.xlsx`. ## Improve this dataset This page is built from [register/qld-traffic-by-hour-and-day.yaml](https://github.com/National-Digital/publicdata.au/blob/main/register/qld-traffic-by-hour-and-day.yaml) on GitHub, and a fix to it is welcome as a pull request. https://publicdata.au/contribute/ explains how.
