Dear ###

We write further to your request received 2 July 2024, which states:

"I am enquiring to see if there is any information held in respect of vehicular traffic flow and speed of the traffic at the Barregarrow Crossroads Kirk Michael (what 3 words reference ///mercifully.stump.visor).

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the public authority does not hold or cannot, after taking reasonable steps to do so, find the information that you have requested.

The Department has a database containing the traffic counters that are placed to the Islands roads. However, the data is limited to the locations where counters have been or are currently placed. There is no data available for the Barregarrow crossroads.

Upon request to the Department, counters can be placed at specific locations, however this service incurs a charge. If you are interested in this service, please contact highways@gov.im where they will be able to assist you.

Please quote the reference number 3952245 in any future communications.
