HC Deb 18 June 1984 vol 62 c15W
Sir John Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the latest count of vehicles travelling on the M25 in the area of Waltham Abbey; and how it compares with the estimated volume of traffic.

Mrs. Chalker

Counts taken in April showed two-way flows in the order of 47,000 vehicles per day (16-hour average weekday). This compares with a 1983 estimate of 45,000 to 50,000 vpd in 1987, the expected first full year of operation of the complete motorway.
