Our ref: FOI-1730-2021/GH

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 30 November 2020 asking for SCOOT data for the Lee Green area of Lewisham.

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy. I can confirm that we do hold the information you require.

The data attached is extracted from our UTC SCOOT system and is using the trend at the junctions over the past year from 04/12/2019 to 04/12/2020 and covers a period of 24 hours, 7 days a week.

Flow data is recorded based upon the number of vehicles recording passing over our on street detectors. The graphs attached show the change in flow during the dates mentioned above, measured from the vehicle detectors near each location, but due to the way the data is collected the absolute flow numbers are approximate. Congestion data is recorded based upon the percentage of time the detector is registering activity without breaks (suggesting a vehicle is stationary upon it).

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

If you are considering submitting a further FOI request please think carefully about whether the request is essential at this current time, as answering FOI requests will require the use of limited resources and the attention of staff who could be supporting other essential activity. Where requests are made, please note that our response time may be impacted by the current situation.

If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely
