<p>The Department produces annual estimates of the average daily flow of vehicles
for each major road link, for every year in Great Britain. The Department does not
produce estimates of the average flow of vehicles per year for each major road link.
Traffic is counted at one point on the A2 between the Lydden traffic lights and the
Whitfield roundabout at Count Point No. 6015.</p><p> </p><p>The table below provides
a breakdown of average daily flow of vehicles for Count Point No. 6015 for each year
since 2010.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Average Daily Flow Estimates of Motor Vehicles at
Count Point 6015 on the A2 – 2010 to 2017</strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Average

road link level traffic estimates are calculated using a variety of methods, with
some methods likely to produce more accurate estimates than others. Figures having
an estimation method of “Counted” are likely to be more accurate than those marked
as “Estimated”.</p><p>Further detailed information on vehicle flows, including the
local road network, can be accessed via the Department’s interactive map here:</p><p><a
