Measuring traffic in Sutton South Ward

In February 2024 a survey was carried out to measure traffic flows at 17 locations in Sutton South Ward. The survey was carried out over a week from Monday to Sunday. Measuring equipment was set up to measure three variables:

1. The percentage of vehicles that were HGVs
2. The average speed of vehicles
3. The total number of vehicles as a daily average

You will find the data in an article on the Liberal Democrat website for Sutton South Ward: www.suttonlibdems.org.uk/south

‘Following the survey, traffic officers are examining three main issues:

whether action can be taken to improve the safety and the experience of pedestrians crossing the Kings Lane bridge without closing the road to vehicles. The bridge is narrow. Installing a second bridge would be impossibly expensive. Marking a pedestrian path at one side of the road might be feasible

similarly, whether something can be done to improve the safety and the experience of pedestrians passing under the railway bridge in Langley Park Road

possible improvements to the busy junction where Cedar Road crosses Langley Park Road.’
