The paper presents the analysis results of measurements recorded by road traffic and noise monitoring station. The station is located in a medium size town in Poland (Kielce) situated at the national road to Cracow. The traffic flow was measured over the period between January and December 2013 for twenty four hours a day. Statistical analysis methods were used to determine the variability and uncertainty of the results. The measurements from two vehicular lanes running towards the town and two lanes running towards Cracow were analyzed. The variability of the results was described using parameters such as the coefficient of variation and positional variation. The results of vehicle traffic measurements were used to simulate changes in the noise measurand variation within 1-hour intervals. The Nordic Prediction Method was used for this purpose. It was found that in most cases, the distribution of the tested variable was not normal. Box plots were used to assess whether outliers data occurred in the recorded results. The variability of noise and type A uncertainty was evaluated.
