HC Deb 02 December 1985 vol 88 c115W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the current average weekday traffic flow at the peak time on the A50 where it passes through the Meir in Stoke on Trent; and if he will give the figures for each of the past 10 years.

Mr. Ridley

[pursuant to the reply, 28 November 1985 c. 670]: Not all the data requested by the right hon. Member is available. The figures below represent actual peak hour flows on A50 east of Meir for all vehicles taken from counts on a day in the years indicated, but the figures are not necessarily typical.

Average flow
June 1979 8 am - 9 am 1,469
5 pm - 6 pm 1,339
September 1984 8 am - 9 am 1,695
5 pm - 6 pm 1,017
September 1985 8 am - 9 am 1,587
