Driver Behaviour

Road traffic observed during a driver behaviour survey

Build a clearer picture of how people use and interact with the road network.

Driver behaviour surveys observe road user actions at selected locations. They can help reveal how drivers respond to layouts, signs and other road users, giving project teams evidence to investigate safety and operational questions.

A closer look at road user behaviour

Each study starts with a clear observation plan. We agree the site, survey periods and behaviours of interest with you, then collect evidence at the locations where those interactions can be seen. A focused brief helps keep the survey relevant to the issue you are investigating.

The findings can be grouped by movement, location or time period to make patterns easier to review. This gives project teams a practical record of what was observed and helps identify where additional analysis, design review or monitoring may be useful.

What this survey can help you understand

  • Observe real movement

    Capture turning, lane choice, yielding and other agreed behaviours at the locations that matter to your study.

  • Understand interactions

    Review how vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists move around one another and through a site.

  • Compare conditions

    Collect evidence across selected times or locations to understand how observed behaviour changes.

  • Support practical decisions

    Use clear survey findings to inform design reviews, monitoring and the next stage of transport planning.

We can shape the survey around your site, research question and reporting needs, then agree the locations, time periods and outputs before collection begins.
