Cycle Flows on the TFL Road Network: Indexed Time Series for London

London's Transport for London Road Network (TLRN) cycle flow data, collected via 60 automatic counters. The indicator presents an indexed flow relative to a March 2000 baseline, with a goal to increase cycling levels by 400% by 2025. The dataset was produced by the Greater London Authority and is described as discontinued.

Use Cases

• Tracking progress towards the 400% cycling increase target based on the indexed flow indicator.
• Analyzing long-term cycling trends on the TLRN based on the monthly time-series data.
• Comparing cycling activity before and after infrastructure investments based on the indexed flow methodology.

Strengths

• Data is derived from 60 automatic cycle counters providing sample counts.
• Includes a specific policy target: increasing cycling levels by 400% by 2025.
• Methodology is described, including a baseline index from March 2000.

Limitations

• Dataset is described as discontinued.
• Covers only the TLRN, which represents about 5% of London's roads.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
