We do some of our own traffic surveys for two main reasons: firstly, as an independent check on the official statistics; secondly, because the official statistics are only published infrequently (annually in most cases) and many months after they're collected, so they're a pretty slow way to spot changes.
Please use this form to send us the results of your traffic surveys. To do a traffic survey, pick a location and stand there for a period of time (ideally 15, 20, 30 or 60 minutes) and count how many walkers and cyclists pass there during a period of time.
We are particularly interested in counts from the following locations because we have past counts from them, including the disused automatic counters:
- King's Lynn:
- National Cycle Route 1 Harding's Way at the River Nar sluice (next to the Environment Agency building)
- National Cycle Route 1 Sandringham Railway Path just south of Gaywood Road (next to the grey automatic counter cabinet)
- National Cycle Route 1 Sandringham Railway Path just south of the Spenser Road crossing
- Bridge Way Cycleway between Rollesby Road and the Iron Bridge (next to the grey automatic counter cabinet)
- Extons Place Cycleway between Extons Place and Rollesby Road (next to the grey automatic counter cabinet)
