In relation to the current Active Street Trial in Heavitree Exeter can you confirm that unverified and unscientific “public” traffic counts are by definition “anecdotal” and will not form any part of official Data when considering success measures and ongoing decision making?
Devon County Council’s Transport Data Team have set up monitoring across the Active Streets Trial area to capture pre-trial and during trial observations. It is these counts that will form the evidence regarding volumes of motorised vehicles, walking, wheeling and cycling. Any other data submitted during the Statutory Consultation Period will be treated as consultation feedback.
