We employ a range of methods to count how many people are walking, wheeling or cycling across Angus.
Temporary and permanent counters capture the numbers of people using particular routes. This helps us measure the effectiveness of the creation of new paths and improvements while highlighting other possible upgrades.
Manual counts and surveys also provide vital information on who uses the routes, and why.
This page provides some information on recent counts and live feeds to permanent counters currently operating across Angus.
Permanent counters
Marine Avenue, Montrose
Installed in June 2021 this counter is located on a shared use path that runs from the sports centre to the Academy. It is also a link towards the GP surgery and onto the NCN1.
This counter has been counting cycling numbers since May 2017 and is located on the advisory cycle lane running east towards the college, train station and town centre.
Situated on a path that runs south of the caravan and motorhome park and connects to the loch path via the Strathmore Cricket Club, this counter has been recording pedestrian and cyclist numbers since June 2021.
These take place over 24 hours on two dates, typically in the spring and autumn. The monitoring equipment captures cars/taxis, goods vehicles, pedestrians, buses/coaches, motorcycles and cyclists at these locations.
Some of these counts have been taking place since 2017.
