Every year the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) conducts a series of surveys on its highways in the state to measure traffic volume. This is expressed in terms of annual average daily traffic (AADT), which is a measure of traffic volume for any average day of the year. In 2009, WSDOT calculated 20,000 vehicles use the highway, with 12 percent of that traffic being trucks.{{cite web|url=http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/mapsdata/tdo/PDF_and_ZIP_Files/Annual_Traffic_Report_2009.pdf|title=2009 Annual Traffic Report|publisher=WSDOT|page=185|access-date=November 23, 2010|archive-date=June 16, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100616135639/http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/mapsdata/tdo/PDF_and_ZIP_Files/Annual_Traffic_Report_2009.pdf|url-status=dead}} The entire highway is listed on both the WSDOT List of Highways of Statewide Significance,{{cite web|url=http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/NR/rdonlyres/A4EBDFA1-4256-475C-88BA-CF93A87852F6/0/HSSlist2009.pdf|title=List of Highways of Statewide Significance|date=July 26, 2009|publisher=WSDOT|access-date=November 23, 2010|page=2|archive-date=March 18, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110318213825/http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/NR/rdonlyres/A4EBDFA1-4256-475C-88BA-CF93A87852F6/0/HSSlist2009.pdf|url-status=dead}} which marks this portion of the highway as critical to connecting major communities in the state, and the National Highway System, a system of roads that are important to the nation's economy, defense and mobility.{{cite web|url=http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/NR/rdonlyres/F934B0E9-1EAB-47B3-8086-E5A00C9DDDEB/0/NHSlist.pdf|title=Washington State National Highway System (NHS) Designated Highways|date=November 1, 2002|access-date=November 23, 2010|page=2|archive-date=March 3, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303180857/http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/NR/rdonlyres/F934B0E9-1EAB-47B3-8086-E5A00C9DDDEB/0/NHSlist.pdf|url-status=dead}}
