Traffic Speed
Understand vehicle speeds across locations and time periods.
Traffic speed surveys provide a picture of how vehicles travel on a road. Depending on the site and brief, collection can use automated or manual methods, including radar and laser equipment, to support monitoring and transport assessments.
Speed data shaped around your location
The survey plan sets out where speeds will be measured, in which directions and during which periods. We select a collection approach to suit the road and the information needed, then organise the results so the conditions at each survey location are clear.
Speed findings are most useful when read in context. They can be reviewed alongside traffic volumes, road layout and other site observations to help teams understand local conditions, compare locations or monitor changes over time.
What this survey can help you understand
Build a speed profile
Review recorded speeds at selected points and compare results by direction or time period.
See when patterns change
Understand how observed speeds differ across the day or between survey periods.
Inform local assessments
Combine speed evidence with other site information to support road safety and design reviews.
Monitor over time
Use repeatable survey setups to compare conditions before and after a change.
We will agree the collection approach and reporting format with you in advance, based on the road, survey question and intended use of the data.
