The Intersection Count Traffic Survey aims to record vehicle, cyclist, and pedestrian movements at key intersections. Surveyors are responsible for accurately counting all movements through the intersection, including vehicles going straight, turning left, and turning right, as well as pedestrians crossing the streets. It is crucial to be positioned at the assigned intersection with a clear view of all approaches and directions.
Safety is a top priority. Surveyors should be located in a safe, visible spot away from traffic, wearing high-visibility clothing, especially during low-light hours. If any unusual traffic incidents, such as accidents or roadworks, occur during the survey, these should be recorded for further context.
