Link Count Surveys

The purpose of this Link Counts Traffic Survey is to accurately gather data on traffic flow through selected junctions. Surveyors will be responsible for counting vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians as they move through designated links. It is crucial that each surveyor is positioned at the correct location, ensuring clear visibility of all approaches and movements. Data should be recorded during the specified times provided in the schedule, ensuring continuous coverage without gaps.

The survey will involve counting various types of traffic, including motor vehicles (cars, trucks, buses, and motorbikes), cyclists (bicycles and electric bikes), and pedestrians. Surveyors must also categorize counts by direction (e.g., northbound, southbound) and account for turning movements such as left, right, or straight. Data should be entered in real time using the provided forms or electronic devices, with careful attention to accuracy and completeness before submission.
