This statistic shows the results of a 2018 survey among motorists on reasons for not using public transport in the United Kingdom (UK). Of respondents, 44 percent reported that services were less reliable than they used to be.

In 2019, the investment in road transport infrastructure in Great Britain increased by 969.4 million euros (+11.18 percent) since 2018. Therefore, the investment in Great Britain reached a peak in 2019 with 9.6 billion euros. Road infrastructure investments involve all capital expenditure used to create new road infrastructure or extend, reconstruct, upgrade or renew existing road networks. This infrastructure encompasses immovable fixtures such as buildings, bridges, land, permanent way constructions, tunnels, and other signalization, telecommunications, or toll collection system installations.Find more statistics on other topics about Great Britain with key insights such as total money invested in rail transport infrastructure.

Context

Road traffic open data provides street-level data for every junction-to-junction link on the motorway and 'A' road network, and for some minor roads in Great Britain.

Annual statistics are mostly presented in units of vehicle miles, which combines the number of vehicles on the road and how far they drive. Annual traffic statistics are compiled using data from around 8,000 roadside 12-hour manual counts, continuous data from automatic traffic counters, and data on road lengths.

The road traffic statistics team carry out a minor road traffic benchmarking exercise approximately every 10 years, with the aim to improve the accuracy of traffic estimates for minor roads. The results of the 2018 to 2019 exercise have been published and have resulted in revisions to the minor road traffic estimates covering 2010 to 2018. For more information about the minor roads benchmarking exercise, please refer to the documentation from the 2019 exercise.

Data disclaimer

Traffic figures at the regional and national level are robust, and are reported as National Statistics. However, DfT’s traffic estimates for individual road links and small areas are less robust, as they are not always based on up-to-date counts made at these locations. Where other more up-to-date sources of traffic data are available (e.g. from local highways authorities), this may provide a more accurate estimate of traffic at these locations.

Quality flags in data downloads

DfT’s road link level traffic estimates are calculated using a variety of methods, with some methods likely to produce more accurate estimates than others. The data tables available to download here contain a column - estimation_method – showing the method used to estimate traffic for each location and year. Figures having an estimation method of “Counted” are likely to be more accurate than those marked as “Estimated”, and the latter should be used with caution.

These files provide detailed road safety data about the circumstances of personal injury road accidents in GB from 1979, the types of vehicles involved and the consequential casualties. The statistics relate only to personal injury accidents on public roads that are reported to the police, and subsequently recorded, using the STATS19 accident reporting form.

There has been an increasing demand for more up to date information on reported road accidents to be made available to the public, stakeholders and researchers. As a result, the Department for Transport made a dataset covering accidents for the first and second quarters of 2018 in Great Britain available for the first time on data.gov.uk. The data released was an un-validated subset and has been superseded by the full accident dataset for 2018, released after validation for the full year.

All the data variables are coded rather than containing textual strings. The lookup tables are available in the "Additional resources" section towards the bottom of the table.

Please note that the 2015 data were revised on the 29th September 2016. Accident, Vehicle and Casualty data for 2005 - 2009 are available in the time series files under 2014. Data for 1979 - 2004 are available as a single download under 2004 below.

Also includes: Results of breath-test screening data from recently introduced digital breath testing devices, as provided by Police Authorities in England and Wales Results of blood alcohol levels (milligrams / 100 millilitres of blood) provided by matching coroners’ data (provided by Coroners in England and Wales and by Procurators Fiscal in Scotland) with fatality data from the STATS19 police data of road accidents in Great Britain. For cases when the Blood Alcohol Levels for a fatality are "unknown" are a consequence of an unsuccessful match between the two data sets.

In 2021, the transportation and storage industry in the United Kingdom (UK) is forecast to spend around ****** million U.S. dollars on software. By 2024, the industry's spend on software is projected to increase to almost **** billion U.S. dollars.

The PSNI produces statistics on injury road traffic collisions (RTCs) that are reported to the Police. These statistics are collected in accordance with the STATS20 guidance from the Department for Transport (DfT) and are comparable with the statistics in Great Britain (GB). Damage only collisions or those collisions resulting in no injuries are excluded from these statistics.
