The department tracks the traffic volumes along all state highways as a part of its maintenance responsibilities using a metric called average annual daily traffic (AADT). This measurement is a calculation of the traffic level along a segment of roadway for any average day of the year. In 2009, ODOT figured that the lowest traffic levels were present on the section between County Road 419 (CR 419) and Rogers, where only 1,120 vehicles used the highway daily. The peak traffic volume was 8,580 vehicles AADT along a section of SR 154 that is concurrent with US 30 and SR 45.<ref name="ODOT_AADT Columbiana technical">{{cite map|url=http://www.odotonline.org/techservapps/traffmonit/TMReports/TSR_Report/County_Reports/2009_Reports/col09.pdf|title=Traffic Survey Report - Columbiana County|year=2009|publisher=Ohio Department of Transportation|accessdate=January 24, 2013|format=PDF|at=SR-154|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304213715/http://www.odotonline.org/techservapps/traffmonit/TMReports/TSR_Report/County_Reports/2009_Reports/col09.pdf|archivedate=March 4, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>
