Appendix A. Local air quality problem and underlying causes
A.1. Introduction
This appendix provides supporting data in relation to the Strategic Case set out in Chapter 2
(primarily Section 2.2 Local air quality problem).
A.2. 2018 roadside monitoring data
PCC currently has 107 diffusion tube locations, with 59 new locations added during 2018 and 4
continuous air quality monitoring stations (CAQMs) to measure local air quality.
Further detail can be found in the 2019 Air Quality Annual Status Report (June 2019).

Traffic speeds at exceedance locations
Figure A-4 Average 24hr observed speeds at exceedance locations during 2018 (TomTom data)
Church St (S/b) Church St (N/b)
Median speed = 29kph
Mean speed = 29kph
Modelled speed = 31kph
Median speed = 13kph
Mean speed = 15kph
Modelled speed = 9kph
S/b and n/b data is based on average journey times between Church Street Roundabout exit and Wingfield Road, providing a good representation of conditions at the exceedance location. (Modelled speed for link 53330_53341)
A3 Commercial Road (S/b) A3 Commercial Road (N/b)
Median speed = 36kph
Mean speed = 34kph
Modelled speed = 37kph
Median speed = 17kph
Mean speed = 15kph
Modelled speed = 27kph
S/b and n/b data is based on average journey times between Church Street and Commercial Road, providing a good representation of conditions at the exceedance location. (Modelled speed for link 53339_53360)
A3 Alfred Road (S/b) A3 Alfred Road (N/b)
Median speed = 34kph
Mean speed = 37kph
Modelled speed = 19kph*
Median speed = 37kph
Mean speed = 35kph
Similar speeds at next segment down
Modelled speed = 18kph*
S/b data is based on average journey times between Unicorn Road to Queen Street junctions and may mask slower speeds resulting from queuing on the approach to the Queen Street junction. N/b data is based on a shorter section of road providing a better representation of the conditions at the exceedance location. (Modelled speed for link 53711_53710. *This covers Unicorn Road to Queen Street, i.e. a longer section, which includes the junctions)
