Latest road traffic statistics

Road traffic statistics provide estimates of the vehicle miles travelled each year in Great Britain by vehicle type, road category and region. We release both quarterly and annual estimates. To monitor the use of the transport system during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, daily traffic trends are published weekly.

Our geographical website allows users to view and download estimated traffic flows on every link of the ‘A’ road and motorway network in Great Britain. The interactive map provides a mapped background to identify traffic flows in specific areas of the country.

Road traffic information on current and previous road traffic estimates are available.
