$. These figures are for financial years (April to March) which start in the relevant financial year (eg "1995" figures are for 1995-96 financial year)
1. As population estimates for Great Britain and UK for 2005 were not available at the time of going to press, the mid-year estimates of the population for 2004 were used to calculate the GB/ UK figures for 2005 in this table.
The mid-year population estimates for Scotland for 2005 were available and have been used.
2. The GB figures relate to motor vehicle traffic only, and therefore exclude a small amount of pedal cycle traffic.
