on my street, a car passes by every ...

30 minutes, if that. You?

I love living on an interior street of a bunch of streets where the only people driving through are the ones who live here. Can't say that for the next street over. It's regular suburbia where there are plenty of houses around still. I was in a rural area recently and it's way too out of the way for me. 15+ minute drive at highway speeds to get anywhere/anything.

I grew up in 2 houses both on busy 2 lane roads (one direction each). What a nightmare. Especially fun when you're trying to nap and wailing sirens of ambulances or firetrucks zoom by.

live deep in a neighborhood on the corner of 2 of the streets that exit the neighborhood... id say like a car every 60s. the next street over probably averages maybe 1 every hour.
 
I hear a car or two at night in my room from my neighbors coming home and parking in the car ports downstairs. I can't heard traffic in the streets. But of course, I live in the back unit of a condo complex too.
 
I'm on a dead end street that backs up to a large wooded park, so I'd say every 1-2 hours, depending on the time of day. There are only 5 houses between mine and the dead end.
 
Umm depends on the time of day. It can be as low as a few an hour, but in the morning and evening it can be every few seconds.
 
House is roughly 50 feet from a busy street which was lately widened from a 1 lane each way street to 2 lanes each way.
I barely hear the noise, train station is about 300 feet away.

I'm at the end of a cul-de-sac of a very low traffic sub division. The paper guy comes through around 5:00AM. My wife leaves around 6:00. I leave around 7:00. Mail man comes through around 11:30. Then my wife and I get back home around 4:30. Only other traffic is the occasional lookey-lou just doing house looking/snooping.
 
morning: 10-20/min
noon-after work: constant stream
7-midnight: 5-10/min
midnight-morning: 1-2/min

I live across the street from a major university, something is wrong if I don't hear at least 5 sirens a week.
 
Maybe one car every hour or so, sometimes much less. Often on my 3.2 mile round-trip walk to the end of my road and back, zero cars pass by me. It's a nice little area!
 
I back onto a busy road, and a mall. Lots of trucks, lots of dumb kids with their trunk thumpers, and dumber squids on their pocket rockets. Noise is really bad. My house used to back onto country. I miss those days, and curse the town.
 
1/2 hour ish.

They're closing the school that's at the end of my street, so that'll be a lot less traffic next year.
 
Hmm, by "car," do you mean vehicle? If so, perhaps one every 30 minutes on average. It really depends on the time of day, day of week, and weather. Some of those vehicles are horses pulling a wagon, or just horses being ridden.
 
more or less a constant stream outside of late-night hours. living on a corner doesn't help.

I live in an urban area and my little section of town is a maze of one-way streets, so everyone's got to drive everywhere to get anyplace.
 
my brother just moved to a house in the same town but he's at a corner with a stop sign. There are teens in his neighborhood and they like to rev it up... and that's just what I've noticed in the 30 minutes I was there. He's got dogs too and they are barking at all the noise now.

There was a teen who used to drift around the bend in front of my house when the road was covered in snow. His muffler was horrible, so every time he came down the hill, I'd hear his truck coming. Then, I'd hear him flooring it as he reached the bend. One day, loud truck, then complete silence. He took drifting too literally & ended up in a drift down the bank on the other side of the road. Even with chains on the tractor tires, I had trouble pulling him out.
