24 Guide to Truck Activity Data for Emissions Modeling discrepancy is that compared to defaults, NPMRDS data might be collected mainly on arterial and limited-access roads, where speeds tend to be higher than collector or local streets. However, the extent to which these differences reflect differences between state and national data, differences in data collected in different years, or the inclusion of only National Highway System (NHS)
