How to do a Mobility Snapshot

It’s easy to join the Mobility Snapshot campaign. Taking part will help you to advocate for road safety interventions that have been proven to save lives backed with local data.

Find an intersection

  1. A place that is widely known and recognizable to people near a popular train/bus station or a public transport hub or a shopping/market area AND
  2. A place that has plenty of pedestrian traffic mixing with motorized vehicles AND
  3. A place that LACKS at least one of the following:
    • formal pedestrian crossing
    • segregated footpath
    • traffic calming, such as a speed hump on approach to the intersection and/or
    • traffic lights for motorized vehicles and/or
    • Speed limit of 30 km/h or less.

Choose a Mobility Snapshot tool

You can choose to do your Mobility Snapshot using the Mini Mobility Snapshot tool or the Star Rating Mobility Snapshot tool.


Do your Mobility Snapshot

Go to your selected intersection at peak hour (the busiest hour of the day, for example the commuter rush or school start or finish time).

If you have data, you can submit your responses directly through the tool. Otherwise, print a form from the Tools page and submit it later.

Follow the questions in the tool to observe the road conditions, number of pedestrians and cyclists etc.

If you use the Star Rating Mobility Snapshot tool, you will receive your star rating a month after the end of the campaign.

If you don’t already receive communication from us, sign up HERE for our newsletter where we will share more details.

Can I use SR4S or other tools instead of the Mobility Snapshot tool?

You can use SR4S to do your Mobility Snapshot without having to also complete the Mobility Snapshot tool. If you use other tools, please complete the Mini Snapshot tool to take part in the campaign.

Are grants available to support the Mobility Snapshots and campaigns?

NGOs can apply for a small grants to support advocacy during the campaign.

Do I have to choose an intersection that lacks facilities for pedestrians and cyclists?

The aim of the campaign is to highlight how pedestrians are overlooked in road planning and design and that this is true all over the world. While you are welcome to use our tools for other purposes, the campaign focuses on those intersections where one or more evidence-based intervention is missing.
