The Challenge: Slow, Expensive and Incomplete Speed Data
For years, Safer Roads Humber has relied on temporary speed surveys to address community concerns about speeding. These traditional methods required significant time, budget, and coordination, only to return data that represented just a brief snapshot in time.
“We faced long lead times, to commission temporary speed surveys, it was also costly to arrange.”
– Anke Taylor
The Frustration: Delays and Gaps in Insight
Waiting for physical surveys meant delaying action and facing pressure from local communities and road safety partners. Collecting enough survey sites to qualify for discounts took even more time, and even then, data could be lost due to damaged equipment or unobtainable because of unsuitable locations for conducting surveys.
“The long lead times lead to frustrations from communities and partners about delays in obtaining speed data. The time lag is from instillation to data collection to data provision and data analysis. The temporary surveys also only provide a snapshot in time and do not represent year-round data.”
– Anke Taylor
The Solution: Speed Compliance Tool by Agilysis
The turning point came with the adoption of the Speed Compliance Tool. Using aggregated GPS data from over 135,000 connected vehicles across their entire road network, Safer Roads Humber gained instant access to 12 months of average speed data at the click of a button.
“It’s accessible data at the touch of a button - no more long surveys to carry out.”
–Susan Scott
“It’s better value for money when comparing license costs with costs for commissioning physical speed surveys”
- Anke Taylor

Whether addressing a complex speed complaint or responding to a single resident query, the impact was clear for Safer Roads Humber. Now, the team operates faster, with confidence and clarity. Speeding complaints are resolved in real-time. Valuable time and budget once spent on survey logistics are redirected into proactive road safety work.
“It’s easier and quicker than sending a resource with a pro laser to try and assess the situation. We can give data immediately, which resolves the issue for us”
– Susan Scott
