We turn residents into citizen scientists, allowing hem to measure traffic movements in their area.

Speed enforcement works

The 1st graph shows speed data collected on a residential road in W13. Limit is 20mph

The 2nd is the site of a pelican crossing outside Northfields station, also 20mph

3rd shows data collected at the site of a speed camera on Hanger Lane, 30mph limit

[Make Uxbridge Road Safe! @SafeUxbridgeRd]

Today, we have written to @EalingCouncil to strongly oppose its plans for cycle lanes on the Ealing Hospital section of the Uxbridge Road.

Why?

Because they’re dangerous and don’t follow @TfL and DfT guidance.

[SpeedPulseUK @SpeedPulseUK]

SpeedPulse were pleased to contribute speed surveys from local streets for this resident's meeting. Our results tallied with residents' very real concerns, highlighting traffic volumes and speeds on their roads.

Fantastic engagement from residents and a true community spirit discussing #ealingcouncil’s new Free-ranging Urban Neighborhood (FUN) plans to re-imagineer our roads!

[Elthorne Park & Leighton Rds Residents Association @EPLRra]

Thank you to everyone for attending last night @deirdrecostigan @shawgareth @MsQuansah @kimnagpal @Iankingston73 @P_DriscollW5W13 @ElthornePR It was a real show of strength and fantastic to see we are all so passionate about making our streets a safer and more liveable place.

⛔️ We pledged to win the powers we need off the Government to enforce 20mph speed limits.

So far the Govt haven’t let us - so we’ll be watching Wandsworth’s trial closely in the hope that it works, and that the government will finally allow us to act.

@_petermason Speeding is a very real problem in Ealing as everywhere

We look forward to both increased enforcement along with infrastructure that deters speeding

Residents asked us to record traffic speeds on their residential roads

The results are eye-opening 👀

• One location had 2 in every 3 vehicles speeding
• Another had a vehicle every 23 seconds, around 900,000 a year
• Speeds over 35mph were frequently seen in 20mph zones

[SpeedPulseUK @SpeedPulseUK]

@EalingMum @_petermason @deirdrecostigan We have and plan to do much more

[SpeedPulseUK @SpeedPulseUK]

How bad is speeding in your area?
Can you prove it?

We’re gathering data to highlight the issue, and the results are eye opening 👀

Speed Pulse Survey - only the rubbish truck arriving at about 9am stopped the speeding

@origmarm Leighton Road and Elthorne Park Road have traffic calming speed cushions and width restrictions

What are you going to do about this?! @_petermason @deirdrecostigan @P_DriscollW5W13 @Iankingston73 @kimnagpal @ElthornePR

[Better Ealing Streets @BetterEaling]

No room for active travel here when it's snarled up, and when it isn't, watch out for speeding drivers!

Making streets safe for walking wheeling and cycling gives more people a chance to get around without using a car.

What are we waiting for?

[Chris @crjholmes]

Why can’t we do something about this?

[Simon Munk @psimonk]

Ratrun, mini ratrun, ratrun all in area highlighted in TfL Strategic Neighbourhood Analysis as priority for treatment. Hmm, wonder why no LTN here @EalingCyclists @BetterEaling @_petermason @deirdrecostigan @EalingLabour I guess road danger, kids playing out etc doesn't matter.

[SpeedPulseUK @SpeedPulseUK]

We’ve been busy trying to improve speed data gathering with…

+ a ground up rewrite of code
+ improved hardware
+ an easy to use control app
+ better data collected
+ insightful data analysis

How is speeding in your area…?

@IRockGreyHair @JoRigby_Balham We are currently assembling individual units ourselves, so not producing the units at any kind of scale yet

[SpeedPulseUK @SpeedPulseUK]

@IRockGreyHair @JoRigby_Balham We’ve developed a small, inexpensive radar based speed-logger to provide citizen based data gathering. The goal is to enable individuals and communities to gather data and highlight specific locations of concern to authorities.

[SpeedPulseUK @SpeedPulseUK]

@ILikedYourBike We explored this, but found this quite crude, and the system under the hood is not as clear as it should be for users to trust the results.

However, it is *the* project that motivated the SpeedPulse project: on-the-ground readings and unmanned logging sessions.
