Traffic data from SAM2 devices
A SAM2 is a vehicle activated sign that displays and records the speed of an approaching vehicle.
The Parish Council own two SAM2's. These are mobile units and are moved around the village on a regular basis.
SAM2 locations
For each location the Parish Council needs a licence from Norfolk County Council Highways department to mount a SAM2. These are the locations that the Parish council currently has licences for.

SAM 2A Comments:
The monitor was turned around '180 degrees' to collect data for the traffic going in opposite direction (ie towards Salhouse) during May. Prior to May it had been recording data for traffic coming into Wroxham.
The volume of traffic travelling to Salhouse (when compared with traffic travelling towards Wroxham) was slightly lower (by about 150 vehicles per day). However regarding vehicles exceeding the 30mph limit, there was a slightly higher amount. The difference being about 4% more. The monitor will remain in this position for June / July to give a more accurate picture of vehicle movements travelling towards Salhouse over a longer period. _______________________________________________________________________________

Vehicles exceeding 30 mph:
Approximately 11 to 16% of vehicles

Vehicles exceeding 30mph: Approximately 41 to 45% of vehicles
SAM 2A Comments:
Volume of vehicles shows a slight increase on the February data by about 100 vehicles per day. Vehicles travelling in excess of 30mph is almost identical to February data, at 41 to 45%. This Salhouse Road continues to be the main location in Wroxham for volumes exceeding 30 mph.

Data:
Total vehicles:
200,616 (an average of approx 7,716 vehicles per day). [note that data between 26th and 30th March was not recorded due to flat battery so daily figure adjusted accordingly from 6445 to 7716].
Max speed recorded:
85 mph recorded 01.03.24 @ 08:20
Vehicles exceeding 30 mph:
Approximately 14 to 20% of vehicles
SAM 2B (New) Comments:
Daily traffic volumes for March were higher than the previous month by about 900 vehicles per day. Vehicles exceeding 30mph were about the same as previous month. There was one significant speed recorded at 85mph, which is quite extreme for morning rush hour. It is possible this could have been a malfunction (for no other reason than travelling at 85 mph at 08:20 would be extremely dangerous at this location), however 2 vehicles were recorded at 70 mph. 5 at 65 mph and 25 at 60mph. Although this represents a very small proportion of the 200,000 vehicle movements, travelling at double the speed limit is not safe.
General Comments:
The monitors will remain in the same positions for April. (SAM 2A on Salhouse Road facing traffic coming into Wroxham and SAM 2B on lamppost 30 Norwich Road facing traffic coming into Wroxham.

SAM 2A Comments:
Monitor moved to Salhouse Road (facing traffic coming into wroxham) on 01.02.24. Comparing data with data recorded at this position (during February 2022) volume shows a decline by about 440 vehicles per day. Vehicles travelling in excess of 30mph also declined compared to February 2022 (down by about 15%). This is possibly due to the 30mph zone being expanded further towards Salhouse. However 41 to 47% s still a high proportion of traffic volume that exceed 30mph.

Vehicles exceeding 30mph: Approximately 7 to 11% of vehicles
SAM 2 Comments:
Daily traffic volumes for December were similar to November. Again, the major gas works on the Norwich Road has affected the data, particularly for traffic travelling South ,as queuing has often been backing up to the avenue junction causing traffic to slow down

Max speed recorded:

Vehicles exceeding 30 mph:
Approximately 13 to 18% of vehicles
SAM 2 (New) Comments:
Daily traffic volumes for December were higher than the previous month by about 360 vehicles per day. Also vehicles exceeding 30mph increased by about 3% compared to the previous month. A couple of vehicles were recorded travelling in excess of 70 mph. Although it was only two vehicles it is disturbing that these speeds have been recorded. Again, the major gas works on the Norwich Road has affected the data. It is possible that vehicles held up by the gas work traffic lights at the South end of the village tend to speed up excessively after leaving the road works to make up time.
General Comments:
It is important to note that continuing Road Works, the bridge flooding and seasonal Christmas traffic will have affected the data.

Max speed recorded:60mph recorded 26.11.23 @ 21:30
Vehicles exceeding 30mph: Approximately 5.5 to 10% of vehicles
SAM 2 Comments:
Daily traffic volumes for November were similar to October. However, similarly to Octobers data, the major gas works on the Norwich Road has affected the data. In general, volumes are down by about 1000 vehicles / day. Making it difficult to accurately compare data with ’normal data’.

Max speed recorded:
70 mph recorded 28.11.23 @ 13:45
Vehicles exceeding 30 mph:
Approximately 10 to 15% of vehicles
SAM 2 (New) Comments:
This is the first set of data from the new SAM 2. Daily traffic volumes for November were similar to October. However, similarly to Octobers data, the major gas works on the Norwich Road has affected the data. In general, volumes are down by about 1000 vehicles / day. Making it difficult to accurately compare data with ’normal data’
General Comments:
As mentioned above the roadworks on Norwich Road is skewing the data with volumes down and the stop / go nature of the traffic causing erratic speed data. However the data is still useful in assessing the behaviour of traffic during major roadwork maintenance and the impact of flooding at wroxham bridge.
More detail can be found in the attachments for both the SAM2 (new) and SAM2. If anyone would like any more information or further clarification (or if you spot any errors) please let me know and I will be more than happy to help.

Approximately 9 to 10% of vehicles
Mini SAM Comments:
As with the SAM 2, daily traffic volumes for October were markedly lower than normal due to the major gas works restarting on the Norwich Road. Likewise the percentage of vehicles exceeding 30mph also reduced. The maximum recorded speed at 90 mph at a ‘peak' morning time would seem to be erroneous, However this is only an assumption, as no doubt some drivers might be tempted to do excessive speeds after waiting for long periods in the queues at the roadwork traffic lights.
General Comments:
More detail can be found in the attachments for both the MINI SAM and SAM2. If anyone would like any more information or further clarification (or if you spot any errors) please let me know and I will be more than happy to help.
The Mini SAM will be replaced in November with a new SAM 2. The new SAM has a larger battery which can hold charge for at least twice as long as the previous model and data can be downloaded more easily via bluetooth to an android phone. It also displays a ’slow down’ caution for vehicles travelling at excessive speeds.
Kind Regards
Ian

Mini SAM:
Location:
Norwich Road. (lamppost 30 adjacent to social club). Facing traffic coming from Norwich.
Period:
05.08.23 to 30.08.23
Data:
Total vehicles:
205,644 (an average of 8239 per day).
Max speed recorded: 90 mph recorded 17.08.23 @ 08:30
Vehicles exceeding 30 mph: Approximately 9 to 15% of vehicles
Mini SAM Comments:
Traffic volumes for May were slightly higher on the previous month by about 170 vehicles per day. The percentage of vehicles exceeding 30 mph was similar to last month. The highest recorded speed was quite excessive at 90 mph recorded at 08:30 on 17.08.23. It is unlikely that even an emergency response vehicle would travel at 90 mph at that time in the morning so it could be an error. However there were also two instances of vehicles travelling at 80 mph, so it is possible the 90 mph may be true.
General Comments:
For both SAMs Sunday consistently appears to see the highest number of vehicles breaching the 30 mph limit.
