High-quality Data from Non-motorised Traffic Surveys
We provide detailed non-motorised traffic (sometimes known as NMU) surveys to monitor pedestrian, cyclist, and other active travel movements.
As towns and cities increasingly prioritise sustainable transport and active travel, understanding the behaviour and movement patterns of non-motorised users has never been more important. At Paul Castle Associates, we specialise in delivering high-quality data from non-motorised traffic surveys that provide essential information on pedestrians, cyclists, and other active travel modes.
Our approach combines expert fieldwork with advanced technology to deliver accurate, comprehensive data. We deploy our high definition, mobile CCTV units at key locations to unobtrusively capture real time footage of non motorised traffic flows, desire lines, and crossing behaviours. This allows us to analyse peak usage times, movement patterns, and infrastructure interactions with precision. Whether for short term studies or longer term monitoring, our surveys provide the robust evidence needed to support sustainable transport planning and infrastructure design.

Benefits of Non-Motorised Traffic Surveys
Data gathered from our accurate and reliable non-motorised traffic surveys delivers numerous benefits to our clients and the wider community:
Data-led decision making – By capturing and analysing data in real-world non-motorised traffic usage patterns, planners and engineers have the evidence needed to design safer, more inclusive transport networks.
Promotes sustainability – Supporting non-motorised travel reduces dependency on cars, contributing to environmental goals and improving air quality.
Improved public health and wellbeing – Facilitating walking and cycling has proven physical and mental health benefits, making our data key to public health initiatives.
Uses for Non-Motorised Traffic Surveys
At Paul Castle Associates, we understand the growing importance of capturing data on non-motorised road users. These surveys are essential for a range of applications:
Active travel planning – Local authorities and city planners use data from our non-motorised traffic surveys to develop and assess walking and cycling infrastructure. This includes the implementation of cycle lanes, pedestrian crossings, and footpaths.
Transport planning and policy – Our non-motorised traffic survey data support sustainable transport initiatives and helping to shape long-term planning strategies.
Road safety assessments – Understanding how and where non-motorised users travel helps identify high-risk areas, guiding improvements in road design and traffic calming measures.
Planning applications – Construction developers and building consultants can utilise the data analysis from our non-motorised traffic surveys to assess the potential impact of new developments on pedestrian and cyclist movements.
Monitoring and evaluation – As well as data being used for future developments, it can also be used post development to measure the effectiveness of implemented infrastructure.
