How many cars drive through Laguna Canyon daily?

Have you ever wondered just how many cars pass through Laguna Canyon daily, on Laguna Canyon Road?

CAHighways.org says the following:

"There are 29,000 cars that use the road each day in 2006; in 2020, that number will swell to 32,000 to 56,000 cars a day. The road was originally a stagecoach route."

(http://www.cahighways.org/129-136.html#133)

A PDF showing data from 1990 to 1998 shows daily averages of around 39,000 cars... as we can see here: www.lagunabeachcity.net/community/visionlaguna/ataglance/vlgl-pg13b.pdf

While these numbers shouldn't surprise me (considering all those cars that I see in the canyon) THEY DO...

Who wants to carpool?
