It is possible to have breaks at 10:30 to 11:30 and 14:30 to 15:30<br />
Recommended Sample Duration<br />
5 minutes every half an hour on footways 5 samples every half an hour on crossings<br />
Recommended Sample Days<br />
One weekday (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday) and as a comparator, Saturday (09:00 to 16:00)<br />
School Holidays<br />

Longer sample periods are required at the start and end of the school day (30 minute sample)<br />
Weather<br />
