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>

The table below provides a breakdown of average daily flow of vehicles for Count Point No. 6015 for each year since 2010.<\/p>
