We refer to your information request below. Hamilton City Council provides
the following response.

 

Your request:

 

1. Can I have the vehicle speed data collected at or near the intersection
of Ruakura Road and Harakeke Road for the following months, including
counts of vehicle types and recorded speeds (or velocities) of each
counted vehicle?

3. Can I have the vehicle speed data summary statistics for the

Our response:

 

Hamilton City has not collected any speed data for this location.

 

The NZ Transport Agency have purchased Tom Tom data for use in their
[1]MegaMaps tool.  They may be able to provide some data regarding vehicle
speeds, but it is unlikely to be on a month-by-month basis and would only
have limited vehicle classification if any.  The NZ Transport Agency
information on their open data can be found [2]here.

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[3]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
