This release presents provisional estimates for road traffic in Great Britain for the first quarter of 2014.
Comparing Q1 (Jan-Mar) 2014 with the same quarter of the previous year, all motor vehicle traffic increased by 4.1 %, to 78.5 billion vehicle miles – the highest figure since the previous peak in 2008.
The bulletin also shows that car and LGV traffic increased by 3.8% and 7.3% respectively, and traffic volumes increased across all road classifications.
The DfT suggests that a combination of economic growth and relatively mild weather is likely to be behind the increase.
