The associated methodology notes set out information on the data sources and methodology used to generate these headline measures.
From September 2023, these statistics include a second rail usage time series which excludes Elizabeth Line service (and other relevant services that have been replaced by the Elizabeth line) from both the travel week and its equivalent baseline week in 2019. This allows for a more meaningful like-for-like comparison of rail demand across the period because the effects of the Elizabeth Line on rail demand are removed. More information can be found in the methodology document.

TwitterBaseline and post-scheme implementation traffic count data for two Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) schemes in the London Borough of Lambeth. Namely, the Brixton Hill LTN and Streatham Wells LTN – the latter of which was suspended in March 2024. Datasets include traffic count data by mode, taken from Automatic Traffic Counters (ATCs) on roads within the scheme and on the boundaries. There is also turning count data from key junctions for each of the schemes. Baseline data was collected prior to the installation of each scheme and post-scheme data collection was undertaken in early 2024.

TwitterThis layer is maintained generally once per year by processing the Single Line Road Network with the Roadway Lighting and Traffic Control departments TES data. As a result there are attributes containing traffic volumes, street classifications, street name, and truck route information against each line segment. This layer should be used in conjunction with the Traffic Volume Intersection Types layer when preparing mapping to understand the extents of each traffic volume street segment. The traffic volume values represent the annual average daily traffic (AADT).

Selected key performance indicators on the TFL Road Network.
Number of hours of Serious and Severe Disruption on the road network by planned and unplanned status, journey time reliability, and total number of works undertaken on the road network.
TLRN = TFL Road Network The maximum permissibile total number of road works allowed on the TLRN was capped at 3,250 for any one period, in Period 1 of 2013/14 until the end of the financial year 2014/15. This is a reduction of 13.4 per cent from the cap of 3,753 that applied from Period 7 2011/12 to the end of financial year 2012/13. The key measure for monitoring smoothing traffic flow is journey time reliability. It is defined as the percentage of journeys completed within an allowable excess of 5 minutes for a standard 30 minute journey during the AM peak.
Serious congestion. There is traffic congestion that is unusual for the time of day at the location or in an area and traffic has been stopped for less than 5 minutes - but in excess of the red signal time displayed on the traffic signals operating on the road. Severe congestion. There is traffic congestion that is unusual for the time of day at the location or in an area and traffic has been stopped for more than 5 minutes; and traffic queuing is longer than normal for the time of day, more than for ‘serious’ congestion.

This dataset contains road collisions in Camden dating back to 2005. Data is provided by TfL (Transport for London) on an annual basis in three parts – this is the vehicles part; some information has been added from the attendants part. Attendants and casualties are available on the open data platform as separate datasets and they can all be joined together using the Reference column. If joined, where multiple attendants/casualties/vehicles exists for one Accident Reference there will be multiple records for the same accident. To avoid anomalies it is suggested any data analysis undertaken should use three years of data.

The Londonwide Low Emission Zone (LEZ) was launched in February 2008. The LEZ operates to encourage the most polluting heavy (including buses, coaches, lorries and other specialist vehicles) diesel vehicles driving in London to become cleaner. The LEZ covers most of Greater London and is in operation 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Heavy vehicles must meet a minimum emission standard of pay a £100 charge.Starting 26 October 2020 heavy vehicles will have to meet even stricter standards or pay the fine.

Some tables have been withdrawn and replaced. The table index for this statistical series has been updated to provide a full map between the old and new numbering systems used in this page.
The Department for Transport is committed to continuously improving the quality and transparency of our outputs, in line with the Code of Practice for Statistics. In line with this, we have recently concluded a planned review of the processes and methodologies used in the production of Vehicle licensing statistics data. The review sought to seek out and introduce further improvements and efficiencies in the coding technologies we use to produce our data and as part of that, we have identified several historical errors across the published data tables affecting different historical periods. These errors are the result of mistakes in past production processes that we have now identified, corrected and taken steps to eliminate going forward.
Most of the revisions to our published figures are small, typically changing values by less than 1% to 3%. The key revisions are:
Licensed Vehicles (2014 Q3 to 2016 Q3)
We found that some unlicensed vehicles during this period were mistakenly counted as licensed. This caused a slight overstatement, about 0.54% on average, in the number of licensed vehicles during this period.
3.5 - 4.25 tonnes Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) Classification
Since 2023, ZEVs weighing between 3.5 and 4.25 tonnes have been classified as light goods vehicles (LGVs) instead of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). We have now applied this change to earlier data and corrected an error in table VEH0150. As a result, the number of newly registered HGVs has been reduced by:
3.1% in 2024
2.3% in 2023
1.4% in 2022
Table VEH0156 (2018 to 2023)
Table VEH0156, which reports average CO₂ emissions for newly registered vehicles, has been updated for the years 2018 to 2023. Most changes are minor (under 3%), but the e-NEDC measure saw a larger correction, up to 15.8%, due to a calculation error. Other measures (WLTP and Reported) were less notable, except for April 2020 when COVID-19 led to very few new registrations which led to greater volatility in the resultant percentages.
Neither these specific revisions, nor any of the others introduced, have had a material impact on the statistics overall, the direction of trends nor the key messages that they previously conveyed.
Specific details of each revision made has been included in the relevant data table notes to ensure transparency and clarity. Users are advised to review these notes as part of their regular use of the data to ensure their analysis accounts for these changes accordingly.
If you have questions regarding any of these changes, please contact the Vehicle statistics team.

Cycle flows on the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN).
The purpose of this indicator is to assess the level of cycle use on the TLRN. The overall ambition is to increase cycling levels by 400% such that by 2025 cycling will equate to a 5% mode share of all journey trips.
This indicator does not represent cycling across London as a whole, It only represents cycling on the 5% of London’s roads that are the TLRN. The indicator is presented as an indexed flow relative to a baseline of March 2000 (a flow level that is represented as 100 on the index). Definition: Sixty automatic cycle counters on the TLRN provide sample counts of cyclists using the network. The indicator converts these counts into an index that is used to represent increases in cycle flows on the TLRN over time. It does not represent the total number of cyclists in London. Automatic cycling counters are pieces of monitoring equipment that emit a magnetic field that detects the presence of a moving cycle. Cycling data is collected monthly using telemetry. This is the process whereby live data is wired down a communication line. The data is sent directly to a database. A summary of the data is then forwarded to the Head of the Performance Monitoring Team each period via e-mail.
With the future growth of cycling expected to take place not only on the TLRN, but on all the capital’s roads, TfL has developed a new methodology for recording cycling journeys that will run in parallel with the existing cycling index. At the current phase of development, monitoring using this metric is restricted to the central London congestion. Based on this metric, a daily average of 402,199 kilometres – or 131,000 cycle journeys - were cycled during the first Quarter of 2014.
The Mayor published his Vision for Cycling in March 2013, outlining plans to spend £913m on cycling improvements over the next 10 years, with a gross budget of £107m in 2014/15.
