Traffic Census

We are using the Internet to conduct a world wide Traffic Census, please join in. We are counting the number of cars, buses and lorries that pass our school during the day and will share our results with you.

How many vehicles (cars, buses, lorries (or trucks) and bicycles) go past you on your road? Try counting them for ten minutes and let us know. You can send us an email. We would like to hear from you, and promise to let you know all the results.

Thank you to everybody who has already joined in our research.
