You asked

F/on FOI-1406-1920 TfL has historically kept and published data on type of vehicles using the road borough by borough (as attached) but I have not been able to find it recently, so... Please can you provide the data to update the attached spreadsheet with 2018 numbers. Please can you explain how these numbers are and have been sourced Please can you explain if a greater degree of granularity is available and if so, please can you provide it for the same period as the spreadsheet covers and for 2018.

We answered

TfL Ref: FOI-1868-1920

Thank you for your email of 20th September 2019 asking for road traffic data by London borough.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. 

TfL does not hold the requested information. So far as I can establish the data in the spreadsheet you have provided orignated from the Department for Transport (DfT), not TfL.

DfT publishes road traffic statistics on its website here:

https://roadtraffic.dft.gov.uk/#13/51.5147/-0.0756/basemap-countpoints

London-specific data can be found on the DfT website here: https://roadtraffic.dft.gov.uk/regions/6   This includes data by borough and vehicle type (see the spreadsheets under each Borough titled “Average annual daily flow”).

If you have any questions on the data they should be put to the DfT - contact details for which are available at the bottom of this page of its website:

https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-transport

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely,

David Wells
