Traffic counts 2016

The specialist service 8.2 — Traffic/Road regularly performs speed measurements on public roads in the urban area of Moers. For traffic measurements, a measuring instrument (Impactor of Impact systems GmbH) is used, which is located in a small grey box and is unobtrusively attached to the road users to sign or lantern poles.
