1. These estimates are not National Statistics. They provide only a rough estimate of the likely total volume of traffic on roads in each area. For further information, please see the notes on the traffic estimates in the text.
2. Roads which changed from "trunk" to "local authority", or vice versa, are counted according to their status on a recent date, rather than on the basis of their status in each year.
NB: to save space, Councils which do not have trunk roads in their areas are not shown.
