Monthly Traffic Data update for June 2026
The Vehicle Activated Signs (VAS) record all traffic movements in and out of our village. There are three signs located at Moor Road, East Road and Ladywell. On a monthly basis, the data from these signs is downloaded and a detailed summary produced. This shows the number of vehicles coming into (inbound) or out of the village (outbound) passed these 3 signs, the number per day on average, the number of vehicles speeding and that number as a % of the total.
Please see the summary below which shows the number of vehicles that have left the village via the 3 roads covered by the signs in the month of June. It then shows the average per day, the number of vehicles that exceed 30mph on each road and that number as a % of the total. In the notes, it shows details of the fastest speeding vehicle in the month, eg 55mph on the 20th June 2026 at 19:00pm going up Moor Road from the crossroads towards the A66.
There is a decrease in the number of vehicles going through the village in June by33 vehicles per day on May. This is split evenly across the 3 roads. Volumes however are still high at 1855 vehicles per day on average.
