Mr Andrew Smith – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Mr Andrew Smith on 2014-03-18.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many journeys through the Rotherhithe tunnel were made by bicycle in 2013.

Robert Goodwill

Data for 2013 are not yet available; the remainder of this answer refers to 2012 data.

A table providing the 2012 estimated pedal cycle annual average daily flow (AADF) for the road link covering the Rotherhithe tunnel (for both directions combined) is shown in the table below:

2012 AADF	Pedal Cycles
Rotherhithe Tunnel	239

This figure gives an estimate of the number of pedal cycles travelling along the individual section of road on an average day of the year.

To calculate an estimate of the annual pedal cycle usage of the tunnel (for both directions combined); this daily AADF estimate would be multiplied by the 365 days in a year.

AADF data for individual motorway and ‘A’ road links for 2000 – 2012 are available on our website, here:
