The Traffic Dynamics of Penyffordd and District

Monday to Friday.
Early morning somewhere near 6 ish cars start to rush through the village, mostly I think to get to BAE or Raytheon. Then it dies down till just before 7. 30 am. The rat run then picks up and will have the highest volume and speed for the day. I am thinking of monitoring traffic levels. I think levels of 15 - 20 cars per minute are reached. Will check. Traffic dies down towards 9.00am but there are still plenty flying through the village up until 10.00am.

After 12. 00 pm traffic picks up, not to the same levels as the morning. Workers going in for shift work. After a certain point traffic from shift workers flows in the opposite direction from Broughton into the village. This seems to finish after 13.30 pm. After 16.00 pm we have the homewood bound traffic which is gentler than the morning assault. After 18.00 pm levels drop off.

After dark we have just the occasional local "top gun" with wheel spins.

I would say over 70% of drivers early morning before 9. 00 pm are plus 30 mph
