Request ID: FOI-0499-2021
Date published: 09 July 2020

You asked

I am compiling information relating to the amount of traffic that enters the charging zone each day from the suburbs as a % off cars, in relation to all other vehicles, via the M4 motorway in particular. Also are you able to furnish me with other trunk roads feeding into London? and would this be a similar figure to the M4? I would be most obliged if you were able to contribute to my project.

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 26 June 2020 asking for information about the amount of traffic that enters the Congestion Charge zone.

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy.
