Bike and pedestrian trip counters have been installed at specific locations along the Elizabeth River Trail and elsewhere on Norfolk’s bike network to accurately count pedestrian and cyclist use along the trail and bike network. This counter system combines the passive infrared sensor and an inductive loop sensor; an intelligent subsystem analyzes the signal from both sensors in order to count and classify each user. This data begins in April 2019 and is updated weekly.
