Historic data

Under the conditions laid down by the Planning Enquiry for the Friargate development, we are obliged to collect annual traffic counts in a number of streets in the area around Coventry station. This includes streets in Earlsdon. This gives us a picture of how traffic volumes have changed in the area since data collection started in 2011. All speeds are recorded in Miles per Hour (mph). Speeds are shown as both mean (the average speed) and the 85th percentile. The latter means the speed that 85% of drivers travel at or below. If there is a large difference between mean and 85th percentile speeds, this suggests that excess speeding is an issue (compared to streets with a smaller range).
