Dear TfL, Thank you for your time. I am a college researcher based in London, and currently focus on the changes in traffic flow in different areas in London. I wonder if I could make a request of the following data, as the relevant DfT open statistics are on annual basis: - main type: traffic flow data - temporal resolution: monthly or weekly - spatial resolution: central, inner, outer London; or by London Boroughs - year range: 2008 - end of 2020 Thank you very much in advance.

TfL Ref: 2284-2021

Thank you for your request received by us on 10 February 2021 asking for information about traffic flow data.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold some of the information you require. You asked for:

- main type: traffic flow data
- temporal resolution: monthly or weekly
- spatial resolution: central, inner, outer London; or by London Boroughs
- year range: 2008 - end of 2020

Please find attached the flow data from a selection of our Automatic Traffic Counters (ATCs), which make up a representative sample of Central, Inner and Outer London. The spreadsheets provide daily totals for each day of the year.

Please note that we only have data available from June 2012, rather than 2008 as requested. However, since traffic flow data for London is collected by the Department for Transport (DfT), we would advise contacting them directly for the outstanding information via the following link to their website: https://forms.dft.gov.uk/foi-dft-and-dft-agencies/

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

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely
