Whatever - I tend to leave that sort of stuff to the fiddlers and the denizens of tagging@... But I would say that smaller units are likely to be more understandable - "60 vehicles per hour" is much more comprehensible to the average mapper than "1000 vehicles per day". And, as ever, we optimise for the mapper. If we always followed what the professionals do then we'd still be using ArcGIS rather than some marvellous custom editing software whose name I happen to forget.[1] cheers Richard [1] oh yes...
