The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what type of traffic surveys have been carried out to monitor the volume of traffic and pollution levels in the Rosyth area in each of the last 10 years and what the findings were.
The answer
Transport Scotland automatically collects daily traffic count information from a number of sites within the Rosyth area. The data can be found at:
http://www.transportscotland.gov.uk/road/traffic-count/map-application.
This data assists with the ongoing monitoring of traffic flow and volume throughout the trunk road network. In addition, during the last 10 years, specific separate traffic count, journey time and noise monitoring surveys were carried out along the A985 between 2004 and 2005.
As local authorities have responsibility for monitoring air pollution levels, Fife Council is required to monitor air quality throughout Fife. Fife has three locations which measure air quality every hour using automatic monitoring equipment. These are located at Dunfermline, Cupar and Rosyth. The data can be found at:
