Editing Interstate 469 (section)

=== Traffic flow ===
I-469 is maintained by the [[Indiana Department of Transportation]] (INDOT). {{As of|2017}}, I-469's traffic count was 46,161&nbsp;vehicles per day, [[annual average daily traffic|on average]] between Maplecrest Road and I-469's northern terminus, 34,651 near its interchange with US&nbsp;30, 14,821 near its interchange with Marion Center Road, and 22,142 between the highway's southern terminus and its interchange with Lafayette Center Road East. By comparison, in 2017, I-69 saw over 60,000&nbsp;vehicles per day in a majority of sections between the termini of I-469.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://indot.ms2soft.com/tcds/tsearch.asp?loc=Indot&mod=|title=Traffic Count Database System|author=Indiana Department of Transportation|publisher= Indiana Department of Transportation |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180628170649/http://indot.ms2soft.com/tcds/tsearch.asp?loc=Indot&mod=|archive-date=June 28, 2018|url-status = live|access-date=January 16, 2019}}</ref>

A 2007 traffic count along I-469 found that only one section of the highway, between Maplecrest Road and I-469's northern terminus, saw traffic numbers close to anywhere along I-69's route around the city, while other sections are much more lightly traveled. John Stafford, who formerly worked for Allen County Plan Commission during planning for I-469, stated in 2008 that the highway was relatively new and would eventually spur growth. Since its construction, I-469 has been ineffective as a north–south bypass around Fort Wayne, in part because its length is {{convert|12|mi|km}} longer than I-69's route around the city. However, officials have stated that heavy truck traffic along Coliseum Boulevard (currently [[Indiana State Road 930|SR 930]]) has almost entirely disappeared, and some have stated that I-469 functions better as an east–west bypass around Fort Wayne.<ref name=":0" />
