Fifield Road Traffic data - February 2016 |
|
|
RBWM Highways recently carried out a traffic survey for Fifield Road. The survey was taken adjacent to the 30mph signs just north of Longlea Nursing Home. The survey collected data for the numbers of vehicles and speeds over the period 22nd Jan to 8th Feb.
The data has been provided as an Excel spreadsheet but it is not the easiest of documents to interpret. There is a brief summary below followed by some notes to aid those who wish to study the spreadsheet. Summary Northbound Max Speed is 54.4 mph and 48.48% of Traffic exceeds 30 mph! Average Speed is 29.7 mph. Southbound Max Speed is 59.3 mph and 62.63% of Traffic exceeds 30 mph!!! Average Speed is 31.5 mph. Average is probably brought down significantly when passing Horses ! Peak Traffic Northbound is 08.00 to 09.00 hrs at 2532 Vehicles over 17 days (269 on Wed Feb 3). Peak Traffic Southbound is 17.00 to 18.00 hrs at 1707 Vehicles over 17 days (143 on Tue 26 Jan). Add this to the predicted Traffic to be added by Phoenix Gym and Horse/Dog/Pedestrian Traffic = Chaos + High Risk of Accident. Notes In the Speed Northbound and Speed Southbound tables - | ||
