I’m working with my neighbors to petition the city to add traffic calming measures (e.g. speed bumps, one way roads) to my street. I’m also hoping to turn it into a bit of a research project. Does anyone know of any tools to monitor or even automate data collection of the speeds of cars, number of cars going by, how many actually stop at intersections/stop signs, etc? If we’re successful with the petition, I think it would be nice to be able to present some data from before and after the traffic calming measures are put in place. Thank you in advance!
I don’t know about where you live, but where I live this is pretty illegal. I don’t like cars either, but you should not be recording the public street in any way whatsoever, even if you only analyze it with a program but don’t write it to disk.
This is bad for not just motorists but everyone else. Don’t do this.
