Road Traffic
The total volume of traffic on Scotland's roads was at a record level in 2007: 44,666 million vehicle-kilometres. This was just over 1 per cent more than in 2006, a smaller increase than between 2005-2006. Traffic volume has tended to increase steadily, with rises of 16 per cent since 1997 and 11 per cent since 2001. The slight dip in 2000 was due to the fuel price protests.
