ALMOST 80 cameras have been installed across the area to predict the impact of new housing on the road network.
Wokingham Borough Council has placed the cameras on street furniture around junctions 10 and 11 of the M4, the B3270 in and around Lower Earley, the A329M and parts of Shinfield, Winnersh and Amen Corner.
They remained in place throughout November to help the council understand where people are travelling to and from.
It is hoped this will lead to more accurate forecasts, and congestion measures.
The work is being carried out in partnership with neighbouring councils and National Highways as part of the borough council’s Local Plan Update.
Cllr Pauline Jorgensen, executive member for highways, said: “By building a clearer picture of the situation, we will be in an even stronger position to introduce measures to combat congestion and carry on keeping the borough’s traffic moving.”
Other improvements planned include electronic message signs explaining road works and alternative routes ahead of time and sensors to provide live updates on available parking spaces, which are already operating in two car parks.
