Traffic Monitoring and Safety Studies
At Paul Castle Associates, we provide professional Radar Speed Gun Surveys and Radar Box Surveys to capture accurate vehicle speed data for a wide range of traffic monitoring and safety studies.
Our radar traffic surveys can be used for a range of applications. Depending on your specific requirements, we offer both hand-held and automatic radar options, ensuring the right approach for each location and study objective.
Hand-held radar speed guns provide instantaneous speed measurements of individual vehicles as they pass a specific point, which can also be tripod mounted for studier use, whereas radar box units are automatic devices that are installed at the roadside, continuously recording vehicle speeds over extended periods (typically 7 days or more).

Radar Speed Gun Surveys
The main advantages of radar speed guns over a radar box option are that they are temporary and easy to move to another location. They are also highly accurate, so their flexibility doesn’t affect their performance.
Our Radar Speed Gun surveys are best suited for applications including:
- Spot speed checks at critical locations such as outside schools, near junctions, or within residential zones
- Time-limited or short-term studies where a permanent structure is not required
- Supporting speed enforcement operations
- Gathering speed data for specific vehicle types or times of day
Radar Box Surveys
The main benefit of choosing radar box traffic surveys is that they are more precise, so a natural driver’s behaviour is more likely to be captured. They also don’t require an operator presence, so they can be more efficient.
Our Radar box surveys are best suited for applications including:
- Long-term speed and volume studies
- Studies where monitoring 24-hour traffic patterns is needed
- Establishing baseline conditions before or after interventions
- Investigation at sites where minimal disruption is required
Advantages of Radar Box Surveys
Radar Box Surveys can also team up with our ATCs:
Radar Boxes can be connected to a network for live data feed and they can replace an ATC, giving not only speed but volume of vehicle movements too. Perfectly suited for areas where an ATC can not be deployed in the road, for safety or licensing reasons.
Some extra features are:
- Accurate measurement with Classification
- Monitors speed and direction of travel
- Real time or historic surveys
- Ability to manage two lanes of traffic, whilst monitoring each lane individually.
