HC Deb 12 December 1996 vol 287 cc351-2W
Mr. John D. Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when the last traffic census was conducted on roads leading to Comber, County Down; and what is the volume of traffic on each road at Comber. [8336]

Mr. Moss

Responsibility for the subject in question has been delegated to the Roads Service under its chief executive, Mr. W. J. McCoubrey. I have asked him to arrange for a reply to be given.

Letter from G. P. Fraser to Mr. John D. Taylor, dated 11 December 1996: The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland has asked the Chief Executive of Roads Service to reply to your question about volumes of traffic on roads leading to Comber. In the Chief Executive's absence I am responding on his behalf. Roads Service has automatic traffic counters which constantly record traffic volumes on three roads leading to Comber. Traffic information from these counters for 1995 was as follows:-

Location Average daily traffic flow
A21 Newtownards Road 14,550
A22 Killyleagh Road 6,640
A22 Comber Road, Dundonald 8,840

I hope you find this information helpful.
