This document library section features documents in relation to traffic monitoring, Automatic Traffic Counters and journey time key data for the Forth Replacement Crossing project.
As a result of changes in the format of raw data from the vehicle classifiers the upload of monthly data is subject to a short delay while the processing procedures are updated, checked and validated. The processing of data has now resumed. However, checking and validation works are continuing. The final data will be published as soon as is possible, please check back for updates.
Traffic monitoring reports
Transport Scotland contractors will undertake traffic monitoring before, during and after construction of the Forth Replacement Crossing (FRC). This helps us monitor the impacts of changing route provision and traffic management on traffic volumes and patterns within the Forth area. It also ensures the highest possible continuation of service to road users.

Automatic Traffic Counters
Volumetric traffic data is recorded via Automatic Traffic Counters (ATCs) throughout the construction period. As part of the monitoring process, a number of new ATCs were installed at various locations within the FRC monitoring area. The location of the new and existing ATCs used in traffic monitoring are shown in Figures 1 to 3. Key traffic count data is also detailed below.

Journey time key data
Transport Scotland contractors have conducted journey time surveys and will continue to monitor selected routes. Surveys are undertaken on These 11 local routes in the FRC area are surveyed each month and an additional 2 longer routes each year. The surveys observe each traffic direction in AM and PM peak times. The location of these surveys are shown in Figures 4 and 5 and peak journey time data is detailed below.
Due to the full closure of the Forth Road Bridge from 4th to 23rd December 2015 and the disruption and congestion caused on the network, as well as the restrictions on access for certain routes, the journey time surveys for the month were cancelled. There is therefore no journey time data for December 2015.
