A1: Freight
(asked on 6th January 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department has estimates for the amount of freight transported across the A1 each week.
This question was answered on 11th January 2022
The Department for Transport does not hold data on the volume of freight that is carried on any specific route within the UK. The Department for Transport collects and publishes detailed information about domestic freight activity via the Continuing Survey of Road Goods Transport. However, while this survey asks the origin and destination of freight journeys, in order to minimise the burden on hauliers, it does not ask drivers to specify the route they have taken.
