Annex B – Micklegate Bar traffic survey data summary July 2023

Traffic counts have been undertaken to evidence the safety issue at Micklegate Bar.

There are 2 separated routes through the Micklegate Bar. The current restriction prevents non pedal cycle traffic from exiting the City southbound through Micklegate Bar with a bollard.

All traffic is permitted to entering the City northbound through Micklegate Bar.

The contravention is where vehicles are exiting the City (southbound) travelling the wrong way on the single northbound carriageway. Micklegate Bar itself limits visibility when travelling through the Bar increasing the risk of a conflict.

The tables below show the volume of traffic travelling northbound (Table 1) and southbound (Table 2). In Table 2, because of the bollard restricting the southbound movement, it can be assumed that any motor vehicle travelling southbound has illegally used the inbound carriageway as highlighted above.

The traffic surveys were conducted between the 3 of July 2023 and the 30 July 2023. During the survey period 41 cars and 8 light good vehicles (LGVs) can be assumed illegally passed through Micklegate bar.

Table key:

LGV = Light Goods Vehicle

PCL = pedal cycle

MCL = Motor bike

OGV1= Other goods vehicles (all rigid over 3.5 tonnes with 2 or 3 axles)

OGV2 = Other goods vehicles (rigid vehicles with four or more axles and all articulated

PSV = Taxi etc
