What is the definition of "traffic"?

We need to make certain that 'traffic' and 'level of service' is a measurement of human movement - not machines. People are traffic. Individuals, groups, whether one is sitting in a car, riding a bike or standing on a skateboard = all of that counts as traffic and traffic is actually a healthy, economically beneficial thing to have. The safe and delightful movement of people needs to be emphasized/ prioritized over the quick efficiencies sought trying to move machinery. If there is a state law that prohibits the interpretation of traffic as people, then this law needs to be changed, and as a city, we should prioritize expanding the definition.
