MVIS supports Nottingham County Council

The National Highways and Transport Network’s 2016 Public Satisfaction Survey, which received a record breaking response of nearly 100,000, recently announced that Nottingham City Council achieved the highest public satisfaction for highways and transport.

The city council came out on top with a satisfaction rating of 61.5%, after scoring 78.1% for local bus services, 77.5% for public transport information and 64.9% for traffic management.

As well as calculating satisfaction levels, the 2016 National Highways and Transport Network’s survey also collected respondent’s opinions on road issues they saw as most important. Each cited by 96%, were highway conditions and safer roads.

Other issues highlighted as important by respondents were reducing traffic (86%) and traffic pollution (85%). Only 45% expressed satisfaction on the issue of reducing traffic, and only 50% on the issue of traffic pollution.

MVIS have provided support over the last 3 years to Nottingham City Council during the tram redevelopment.

Traffic jams to cost UK drivers £62bn

With the recent news that congested roads will cost UK drivers £62bn over the next 10 years, perhaps now is the time to re-evaluate your traffic management solutions to make sure your road maintenance operations are being carried out as efficiently as possible.

In a report commissioned by the Department for Transport, transportation information company Inrix measured the average duration, length and frequency of UK traffic jams in September, and calculated the cost by using value of travel time figures.

Unsurprisingly, London came out worst. The most highly congested stretch of road was the M25 northbound between junctions 15 and 16 near to Heathrow Airport, and overall, London’s traffic jams are set to cost motorists over £42bn up until 2025. Other highly congested areas were the A720 westbound Edinburgh Bypass at Dreghorn Barracks which is estimated to cost £2.8bn, and the Eastbound junction of the A8 Glasgow and Edinburgh Road with the M8 which has an estimated cost of £2.3bn.

MVIS provides innovative temporary Intelligent Transport System solutions which can help you to monitor and control traffic queues. This includes CCTV, HD Data Collection Radar, ANPR, VMS and Journey Time Solutions that are mounted on solar powered platforms and can be deployed as multiple units on a single platform or individually as required.

No matter what or where your traffic management project is, the MVIS team are on hand to be able to offer full support and flexibility to help you resolve your road maintenance project quickly and efficiently, because whilst it’s said that the British love to queue, it doesn’t extend to sitting idly in traffic.
