Traffic Count Data

Traffic has increased since the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions but remains below 2019 figures

CSO statistical release, , 11am

Traffic count data remained below 2019 figures

Source: Transport Infrastructure Ireland

Traffic count data remained below 2019 figures (pre COVID-19 pandemic). For last week in July (week 30), car traffic volumes in Dublin were 12% lower than the same week in 2019. For regional traffic, a similar pattern occurred, with the value for week 30 being 8% lower than the same week in 2019.  See figure 1.1 and figure 1.2

Please note that the timing of the summer holidays can impact on the yearly comparison of traffic count data. 

HGV traffic count data was broadly in line with 2021 values, and is up on 2019, with Dublin showing a 5% increase for week 30 versus the same week in 2019. The regional data showed a 3% increase for the same period. See figure 1.3 and figure 1.4.
