Turning Counts

Vehicles moving through a junction during a turning count survey

See which movements people make through a junction and when they make them.

Turning counts record traffic movements at an intersection, typically broken down by approach and direction. Video analysis can provide a consistent way to review junction activity and understand how demand is distributed across its movements.

A clear picture of junction movements

Before collection, the junction is mapped into approaches and movements so the count reflects the layout on the ground. Survey periods and time intervals are set around the needs of your study, allowing demand to be compared across the parts of the day that matter.

The resulting movement tables help show how traffic is distributed through the junction and where demand is concentrated. These counts can provide an input to junction assessments, design work and monitoring when considered alongside other relevant site data.

What this survey can help you understand

  • Break down movements

    Understand the volume and mix of traffic making each agreed turn or crossing movement.

  • Find busy periods

    Compare movements by time interval to see when demand is highest.

  • Support junction studies

    Use movement data as an input to capacity, design and transport planning work.

  • Review recorded evidence

    Video-based collection can support quality checks and closer examination of observed patterns.

We can tailor the junction layout, vehicle classifications, survey intervals and delivery format to the requirements of your project.
