Village Traffic Study • Measured traffic movements 7am to 7pm on a traffic neutral month weekday • Monitored HGV movements • Considered traffic calming options to deter traffic exiting station from using St Erth Village as a through route

Traffic Movements Summary • Study concluded a small amount of traffic uses St Erth as a through route. • Across the surveyed day, 0.7% of traffic travelling into St Erth from the A30 was Helston bound and 3.3% was travelling from Helston through to the A30 • HGVs account for 2.7% of total traffic
Traffic Calming Options • Improvements suggested for consideration and possibly add to transport priority map: • Build Outs – suggested locations near to bridge and Treloweth Lane • Speed Cushions on Treloweth lane and relocation of 30mph signage to encourage drivers to slow down • Gateway – introduce features on Treloweth Lane, Tredrea Lane and Chenhalls Road and introduce 20mph within village limits • One Way on Chenhalls Road • Traffic Signals – signalised bridge crossing or signalised junction of Treloweth Lane with Sita access road
