Cycling Traffic in England Declines in 2024, Remains Higher Than 2013
Cycling traffic levels in England have seen a decline in recent years, according to provisional data for 2024. The Cycling Traffic Index, derived from over 200 automatic traffic counters (ATCs), shows a 2.6% decrease compared to the previous year.
The drop follows a significant peak in cycling traffic during the pandemic era. Since March 2021, cycling traffic has decreased by 32.8%. However, cycling levels remain 9.4% higher than in 2013, indicating modest growth over the decade.
In contrast, motor traffic has shown greater resilience. It has dropped by only 1.5% compared to pre-pandemic levels and has even risen by 1.4% in the past year. The Cycling Traffic Index uses a rolling annual methodology to smooth out short-term fluctuations and observe long-term trends. Finalised data for 2024 will provide a more detailed regional breakdown and further insights into these trends.
