Walking is important to a city – pedestrian activity is an indication of a city's vibrancy and vitality. There is also a direct link between a city's economic prosperity and the safety and convenience of the pedestrian experience. Information from our pedestrian counting system can tell us how people use different city locations at different times of day to better inform decision-making and plan for the future.
The data is available in our
online visualisation tool. You can use this tool to:
- view a representation of pedestrian volume that compares each location on any given day and time
- compare the average of the same day and time over the preceding four weeks or 52 weeks
- see the impact of various factors, such as major events or extreme weather conditions, on pedestrian activity in the city and compare the flow to short- and long-term averages
- download the raw data for further analysis and visualisation.
