The counts are conducted during the month of November each year. Counts are usually conducted at each location on two separate days and the average of the two counts is used.

Total values are given as well as Passenger car units (PCUs); a traffic analysis term that gives an equivalent grading value of different modes of transport compared to a car and is traditionally used to represent the effects of changes in traffic composition (the mix of cars, buses, and so on). Two spreadsheets represent the values taken at each location for inbound and outbound traffic and the two counts are represented on two worksheets, with the average of the two counts used for reporting purposes.The following is a list of the cordon count locations:Location on Canal Cordon1 Ringsend Rd (McMahon Bridge)2 Grand Canal Street Bridge3 Mount Street Bridge4 Huband Bridge5 Baggot Street Bridge6 Lesson Street Bridge7 Charlemont Street Bridge8 Rathmines Road (Portobello Br.)9 Harolds Cross Bridge10 Sallys Bridge11 Dolphins Barn Bridge12 Herberton Bridge** Grand Canal Bank at SCR**13 SCR at St Patricks Home14 Old Kilmainham15 Kilmainham Lane16 St. Johns Road West17 Conyngham Road18 Phoenix Park (Main Road)19 Phoenix Park (Back Road)20 Blackhorse Avenue21 Old Cabra Road22 Annamoe Road23 Charleville Road24 New Cabra Road25 Phibsborough Road26 Royal Canal Bank27 Drumcondra Road (Binns Br.)28 Russell Street Bridge29 Clarkes Bridge30 Newcomen Bridge31 Ossory Road32 Sheriff Street Lower33 North Wall QuayData is collected in its this format since 2007, however Dublin City Council has been conducting traffic counts since 1980 and since 1997 they have been conducted over the period 07.00 to 10.00 hrs.
