HC Deb 07 February 1996 vol 271 c272W
Mr. Hunter

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will publish statistics on the volume of traffic on the M3 between junctions 6 and 7, and the volume of traffic entering and leaving the M3 at those junctions for each year since 1980. [133777]

Mr. Watts

I have asked the chief executive of the Highways Agency to write to my hon. Friend.

Letter from Lawrie Haynes to Mr. Andrew Hunter, dated 7 February 1996:

The Secretary of State for Transport has asked me to reply to your recent question about the volume of traffic on the M3 motorway between junctions 6 and 7 and the volume of traffic entering or leaving the M3 at those junctions, for each year since 1980.

I regret that information in the form requested is not available. However, the annual average daily traffic flow (AADT) between junctions 6 and 7 on the M3 motorway for the three years 1993–95 was:

  • 1993: 70,100
  • 1994: 70,700
  • 1995: 76,100

I hope that this is helpful.
