A80, Stepps and Millerston (Traffic Flow)

HC Deb 05 November 1971 vol 825 cc41-2W

Mr. John Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will issue traffic flow statistics showing the build-up of traffic on the A80 road at Stepps and Millerston from August 1965 for each year to date, and the likely increase in traffic flow at these points for each year to 1980.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The August traffic flow on A80 at Stepps and Millerston was as follows:

Year	Passenger Car Units per day
1965	25,000
1966	26,000
1967	27,400
1968	28,700
1969	30,000
1970	32,000
	(corrected)
1971	No counts taken on A80

Because many relevant circumstances may change it is impossible to predict future traffic flows with any precision.
