Friday 12 June, 2009 The second round of Transport for Leeds roadside surveys is complete.
Between mid May and early June, car drivers, motorcyclists and goods vehicle drivers approaching the city centre were asked to take part in roadside interviews at 27 locations across the city. They were be asked about their journeys to and from the city centre as part of the study aimed at reducing the effect of congestion on Leeds’ economy and environment.
"There has been a good response rate and the data collected will now be analysed and fed into the Transport for Leeds study, said Gary Bartlett, Leeds City Council’s Chief Highways and Transportation Officer.
"I would like to thank Leeds motorists for their patience and assistance in carrying out this important piece of research, which will help inform important decisions about future transport projects in the City."
In autumn 2008, a first round of surveys was undertaken at 66 different sites whereas this time they only covered 27 locations and did not include motorway slip roads. Buses were not be included in the surveys, which were carried out by transport consultancy Jacobs, on behalf of Metro and Leeds City Council.
