Speed monitoring along the 'New Line' (Station Road, aka 'the motorway between Allendale and Catton').
Data collection started on 29-May-2024. The speed limit then was 40mph.
The Parish Council stated on social media on Monday 17th June (at approx 12:00): "Work has started to install the new speed restrictions today which means that the speed limit will be 30mph. The work is expected to take two days."
We will assume that the 30mph speed limit came in at the end of Friday of that week, and was therefore in place on Saturday 22nd June 2024.
Data collection finished on 30-Aug-2024 (three months approx). A total of 106,510 individual vehicle speeds were recorded.
I used a professional grade 24GHz OmniPreSense doppler radar sensor unit, with the correct cosine corrections applied. The OmniPreSense website has details on the accuracy of the units, and their rich API. I would recommend these units to anyone trying to do the same thing.
No images or details that could identify individual vehicles were collected in the monitoring.
