Manual traffic count support for New Zealand projects
New Zealand traffic-survey scopes can combine intersection, roundabout, pedestrian, cyclist and classified-traffic observations. A clear project brief sets the location limits, movements, time periods and reporting format before collection starts.
This page describes remote project support and technical context for New Zealand; it does not state an office location or authority approval.
New Zealand project lens
Turn local context into a usable traffic-data brief.
A clear New Zealand study brief connects local terminology and conditions to an agreed method, quality review and practical output.
02
Set the method
Set the junction layout, approaches, movement definitions, classes and peak-period windows in advance. Where video is used, confirm that the agreed observation area is visible before processing.
03
Check the data
Quality review focuses on complete coverage of the specified periods, consistent class application and traceable reconciliation of movement totals.
04
Share the output
Agree the spreadsheet, summary, visuals or supporting files your stakeholders need.
Local terminology and scope
Common terminology includes Traffic Counts, Traffic Surveys and Intersection Counts. Set the junction layout, approaches, movement definitions, classes and peak-period windows in advance. Where video is used, confirm that the agreed observation area is visible before processing.
Common study and data considerations
Keep roundabout entry/exit logic separate from conventional junction turning movements.
Define walking and cycling routes explicitly when active-travel evidence is required.
Survey applications
- intersection operations
- roundabout and access assessment
- walking and cycling studies
- traffic video analysis
Manual video-processing workflow
After the brief and source are reviewed, human analysts apply the approved location, movement, classification and interval rules. The data then passes scope, continuity, consistency and output checks before delivery. Recorded footage uses an approved secure-transfer route rather than the public enquiry form.
Deliverables for New Zealand project teams
A New Zealand project output can follow the agreed junction, roundabout or active-travel structure and retain the required period, class and exception notes.
The final interval, movement, lane, class and summary structure follows the approved brief. A client template can be supported after its labels and rules are agreed; private templates and source files are never published.

Can counts be tailored to a project-specific class scheme?
Yes. The class scheme is agreed before observation and must be suitable for the project material and reporting need.
