Traffic Management

Traffic management monitoring reports

Transport Scotland contractors will undertake traffic monitoring before, during and after construction of the Forth Replacement Crossing (FRC). This helps us monitor the impacts of changing route provision and traffic management on traffic volumes and patterns within the Forth area. It also ensures the highest possible continuation of service to road users.

Automatic Traffic Counters

Volumetric traffic data is recorded via Automatic Traffic Counters (ATCs) throughout the construction period. As part of the monitoring process, a number of new ATCs were installed at various locations within the FRC monitoring area. The location of the new and existing ATCs used in traffic monitoring are shown in Figures 1 to 3. Key traffic count data is aslo detailed below.

Journey time key data

Transport Scotland contractors have conducted journey time surveys and will continue to monitor selected routes. Surveys are undertaken on These 11 local routes in the FRC area are surveyed each month and an additional 2 longer routes each year. The aurveys observe each traffic direction in AM and PM peak times. The location of these surveys are shown in Figures 4 and 5 and peak journey time data is detailed below.
