Traffic censuses 2015

The specialist service 8.2 — Transport/Street regularly carries out speed measurements on public roads in the city area of Moers. For traffic measurements, a measuring instrument (Impactor of Impact systems GmbH) is used, which is located in a small grey box and is fixed inconspicuously to road users to sign or lantern poles. The measuring instrument can continuously perform multi-day counts and speed measurements, so that the traffic situation can be assessed. The measuring instrument performs the measurements by radar.
