Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of the number of freight vehicles that have approached the Port of Dover via the A2 in each year since 2010 per (a) day on average and (b) year.
Answered by Jesse Norman
The Department produces annual estimates of the average daily flow by vehicle type for each major road link in Great Britain.
The table below provides a breakdown of the (a) average daily flow by (b) year since 2010 for vehicles likely to be used for freight purposes. The data is provided for the closest major road link on the A2 approaching the Port of Dover (Count Point No. 27864).

Year | Average Daily Flow of Light Goods Vehicles1 | Average Daily Flow of Heavy Goods Vehicles | Count Method2 |
2010 | 914 | 1,126 | Counted |

2017 | 1,482 | 1,056 | Estimated |
1 Light Goods Vehicles may not all be used for freight carrying purposes
2 DfT’s 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”.
