The Council will be undertaking the final traffic surveys that form part of the post-implementation monitoring strategy. Results from these surveys will then be analysed alongside the other survey data that has been collated since the switch to two-way operation.
Altogether the commissioned survey-work consists of:
• Classified Turning Counts at 34 junctions to ascertain vehicle mix (York Street is included)
• Pedestrian Crossing Counts at 18 junctions to gauge crossing-demand (the George Street junctions with Baker Street and Gloucester Place are included, as are the two junctions with York Street)
• Pedestrian Link Counts, to identify the number of pedestrians using either one of the footways in 9 sections along Baker Street
• Automatic traffic counts at 20 locations to measure vehicle-speeds and numbers
• Journey-time surveys along 7 routes for both directions of travel. (These cover the major north-south and east-west routes in the area).
A comparison will be made with traffic-survey data that was collected before the works started in July 2017.
All construction, street-lighting and snagging works have now been completed.
