1 A combination of financial and calendar years have been used
2 Passenger traffic indices are based on passenger journeys except for car travel which is based on vehicle kilometres on major roads (motorways and A roads)
3 The apparent fall in car traffic in 1996 is thought to be due to a change in DETR's method of estimating traffic volumes
