Because the roads are already full.

We know local roads are under pressure, and new development will only make things worse. That’s why we’re collecting real-world traffic observations from people who live and travel in Chapeltown, Ecclesfield, and Grenoside.

​

By recording vehicle numbers, congestion, and delays, you’ll help us show the true impact on road safety, air quality, and daily life. Whether it’s a school run snarl-up or a long queue on a quiet lane; if you’ve seen it, it Counts.

Log what you see. Help build the bigger picture.

📝 How to Take Part in the Traffic Count

• Choose a location
  Pick a spot where you can safely observe traffic. For example, a junction, main road, or residential cut-through in Chapeltown, Ecclesfield or Grenoside.

• Select a one-hour time slot
  You can do any hour of the day that suits you. Peak times like school runs or rush hour are especially helpful.

• Record for just one hour at a time
  Set a timer if needed. Stay focused for that hour and log what you see.

• Submit your results using the online form
  You’ll find a link to the form below. Please complete one form per hour counted.

• Repeat as often as you can over the 7-day period
  The more data we collect, the stronger our case will be.

• Be honest and accurate
  Record what you see to the best of your ability. Please don’t guess or exaggerate; this data could be used in formal planning responses.

• Add any useful notes
  You can include comments about roadworks, diversions, weather, or anything else that might affect traffic during your count.
