  • ATC: Traffic survey that counts types of vehicles, speeds and volumes in both directions.
  • Registration: This type of survey is carried out to determine if vehicles are rat-running to avoid traffic signals etc.
  • Parking Survey:Survey to determine extent of existing parking and length of parking.
  • Pedestrian Survey: Counting pedestrians along an identified route
  • Posting of Notices: This includes legal notices for Traffic Regulation Orders.
