I’m working with my neighbors to petition the city to add traffic calming measures (e.g. speed bumps, one way roads) to my street. I’m also hoping to turn it into a bit of a research project. Does anyone know of any tools to monitor or even automate data collection of the speeds of cars, number of cars going by, how many actually stop at intersections/stop signs, etc? If we’re successful with the petition, I think it would be nice to be able to present some data from before and after the traffic calming measures are put in place. Thank you in advance!

    There are two radar data apps for the Varia that I know of, but DCrainmaker explains the more popular of the two here. The app has been updated since the article, so it’s better 🤗

    When you are actually on a bike ride, you can see the real-time stats of approaching cars, their relative and absolute speeds, distance, etc.

    It’s pretty amazing.
