City Centre

The number one meeting place!

The city centre of Jyväskylä is a bustling meeting place, a hub for commerce and services, and a significant area for employment and residence. Its development is a key part of strengthening the city's vitality. The downtown area offers a diverse range of culture, services, and events, and the city's goal is to improve the accessibility, safety, and comfort of the city centre.

 

Flow Analysis

Kauppakatu in Jyväskylä is one of the busiest pedestrian streets in Finland. There is continuous light traffic flow counting in the Kompassi intersection area between Kauppakatu and Asemakatu.

The counting examines traffic trends over time by weekdays and seasons, how events or exceptional days affect traffic volume, how traffic is distributed among the different branches of the intersection, and how traffic volume develops.

A quarterly report is produced from the counting results, which can be ordered by email if desired.
