§ Mr. Greenwayasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will publish in the Official Report any information he has to indicate the amount of traffic currently using the A312; and what estimate he has made of the future traffic flow on this road.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeThe Department's traffic census has provided estimates of the vehicle flow at four points on the A312 as follows:
Location year Estimated annual average daily flow Coldharbour Lane, Hayes 1980 25,000 The Parkway between Junctions of A4 and A30 1979 30,000 Harlington Road West, N Felthan 1980 27,000 Hampton Road East, Hanworth 1979 26,000 Only about 1½ miles of the A312 between the M4 and the A30 is a trunk road for which the Secretary of State is responsible. No precise estimation has been made of future traffic flows on this section because we have no proposals to improve this stretch of road. Traffic forecasts for the remainder of the A312 are the concern of the GLC.
