Yarra Speed Trial Evaluation

The Challenge

Assessment of the impact of reducing the speed limit to 30km/hr within Yarra City, including understanding implications on traffic behaviours and safety, and assessing effectiveness of probe data for traffic analysis.

Our Solution

Real Time Traffic deployed standard traffic survey equipment including high-tech radars, Automatic Traffic Counts, and probe data. Realite Cameras were installed at intersections and midblock areas for NearMiss detection.

Implementation Details:

• Deployed equipment at 75 sites across Yarra City
• 2-week comprehensive monitoring period
• Integration of probe data with traditional traffic surveys
• NearMiss detection at intersections and midblock areas

Results

Long-term Impact

The collected data provides valuable insights into the impacts of reduced speed limits and the efficacy of using probe data for traffic analysis in urban environments, informing future policy decisions.
