HC Deb 30 July 1975 vol 896 cc507-8W
Mr. Hayhoe

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will publish the latest actual traffic flows and the forecast traffic flows for the next three years, in vehicles two-way per hour (peak) and per 16-hour day at (a) A4 East of Hogarth roundabout, (b) A316 Burlington Lane, (c) A316 Harlington Road-South Circular Road and (d) A305.

Mr. Carmichael

The latest traffic flows along the A316, for which the Greater London Council is the highway authority, were recorded in January 1975. There are no comparable counts for the A4 east of Hogarth roundabout.

Actual—January 1975
Peak hour 16-hour flow
A316 (ex A305) Sunbury Way 2,372 26,136
A316 Hartington Road to South Circular Road 3,192 29,426
A316 Burlington Lane 2,537 24,574

All counts are for two-way traffic in vehicles.

The traffic capacity of the road system east of Hogarth roundabout and the capacity of the traffic signals at Stavely Road and Edensor Road are such that no material increases in traffic flow are likely on the A4 East of Hogarth or in Burlington Lane (A316). Future flows will depend on drivers' choice between the fully costed commercial type accounting which has now been introduced.
