Flow, speed, and density are the three primary characteristics of traffic and are used to describe various aspects of operations of a highway facility. When describing and assessing traffic operations, we are often concerned with the movement of a group of vehicles, or the traffic stream as a whole, rather than the movement of each vehicle. In those cases, it is more convenient to describe traffic operations in terms of macroscopic measures of traffic.
