Pedestrian Surveys (NMU Surveys)
Encouraging pedestrian and non-motorised access to towns, cities, out-of-town facilities and more is an important part of the planning process. Use our experience in pedestrian data collection to monitor existing crossing points, key access areas and high-footfall locations such as schools, leisure centres, rail and bus stations and airports.
Using manual or video surveys – or a combination of both if needed – we can collect and supply accurate, reliable pedestrian data that allows you to plan with confidence. For additional cost savings, we can run pedestrian surveys alongside traffic surveys or speed surveys so that you can see how one set of road users is affecting another.
We work across the UK in rural and urban settings covering anything from the use of a single crossing to access to larger facilities from a number of points.
Just contact us today to see how our pedestrian surveys can help your project.
