Daily traffic count data in London

Request ID: FOI-2464-2223
Date published: 26 January 2023

You asked

Follow-up from TfL Ref 2193-2223: Daily traffic count data in London by Road from 2018-01-01 to 2019-12-31 to support the results. It is hard to find the daily average data by road on the website. Could you mind providing me with the data, please? If the data is too large, the weekly average data would also help.” I think the red routes is fine for me to analyze, I found that the red routes are the almost the main road and are very useful, could you mind providing me the daily data from 2018-01-01 to 2019-12-31 by the read routes road? Thank you in advance.

We can advise that the best source for traffic counts remains the Annual Average Daily Flow traffic counts on the Department for Transport’s datastore, which you were directed to previously via the following link:

However, Transport for London can provide the number of vehicle kilometres (KM) travelled across the Transport for London Road Network – the capital’s red routes, for the period of time referenced above. Please see the attached spreadsheet for the requested data, providing the amount of KMs travelled by vehicles broken down by day.
