Statistical data set

Average speed, delay and reliability of travel times (CGN)

Data on the average speed, delay and reliability of travel times on the Strategic Road Network (SRN) and local 'A' roads, produced by Department for Transport.

Revised Figures

On Thursday 3rd October 2024, travel time statistics for the local ‘A’ roads were revised. The revision stems from a change in the provision of data following discussions with our suppliers and is to ensure consistency of the dataset moving forwards. See the technical note for more information.

This adjustment results in minor changes to the figures, but it is important to note that these are minor and that revisions do not impact the overall trends observed.

Although all data previously published is valid, we recommend users who have previously downloaded or utilized the data to refer to the most recent dataset

  1. Data for April to June 2024 have been added, and revisions have been made to the series following agreements with suppliers to improve consistency going forward.

  2. Data up to March 2024 has been added to all tables.

  3. Data tables have been updated to include data up to December 2023. Over 2023 the congestion statistics processing was transferred to a new software enabling greater precision and accuracy in calculations and imputation of the production of statistical values. This has led to minor revisions for the whole Local 'A' CGN05 time series. A historical methodological error when transferring processing to a new software at the sub-national geography level affected the SRN data. This accounts for the minor revisions in the CGN04 tables b-e.
