Will these corridors carry your store?
Give us your site criteria and this answers from the public record — TDOT count stations by id and year, zoning districts with their ordinance citations, what has been permitted nearby, jobs and earnings inside the trade area, flood areas and water systems. Nothing is ranked and nothing is priced. It is the same data Shawn puts in front of a client, and every figure links to the agency that published it.
Free. The whole result appears on this page the moment you finish — nothing is held back, and nothing is charged for. Shawn asks for a name and a way to reach you first.
What the record says today

Log mile is TDOT's distance along the route from its county origin; each station links to TDOT's count history for that spot. Trucks are FHWA classes 4–13 as a share of AADT. Zoning changes monthly by Council and Commission action — confirm a parcel on KGIS before you act on it.

The questions
Twelve questions about what your use actually needs — traffic, land, zoning, utilities, timing. The result names which East Tennessee corridors clear the numbers you gave, with the TDOT count station, the zoning districts and the source links.
- What are you putting on the site?
- Where are you in this?
- What daily traffic count does your use need?
AADT — average annual daily traffic, the figure TDOT publishes per count station. - How much land does the use need?
- What are you anticipating per acre?
Your working number, so it is in the room. This page does not answer it — in Tennessee only a licensed certified appraiser may say what a parcel is worth, and a broker speaks in recommended prices on a specific site. - Does the trade area need a particular level of economic activity?
Answered from Census LEHD — jobs inside the corridor and which monthly-earnings bands they fall in. Workplace economics, not who lives nearby. - Does the site need to be zoned for your use already?
- Do you know which zoning district your use requires here?
Knoxville and Knox County are separate ordinances, and several corridors run through both. The result lists the districts actually present on each corridor. - Does the use need public water and sewer?
- Is any part of the site in a FEMA special flood hazard area a dealbreaker?
- Who signs on the site?
- How is it being funded?
