Austin's Sixth Street air quality reflects the famous entertainment district, with vehicle traffic on East Sixth Street and the concentrated bar and entertainment venue character contributing elevated NOₓ and vehicle emissions during peak nightlife periods. The flat terrain allows reasonable dispersal, while the extraordinary pedestrian and vehicle intensity on weekend evenings creates periodic air quality peaks and the neighbourhood generally maintains moderate Austin downtown readings at other times throughout the year.
