A6 traffic trend

Traffic on the A6 came to 1.48 billion vehicle miles in 2025. At the count points present in both years, it is up 1.9% on 2019, before the pandemic, and about the same as in 2015.

Vehicle miles a year

Like for like, traffic is about the same as in 2000.

The chart counts the whole road as it was each year, so new or renumbered stretches move it. The percentage changes compare only count points present in both years (83.9% of today’s road for 2019). In 2025, 37 of the 178 count points were counted; DfT estimated the rest from earlier counts and local trends.

A6 collisions

Police recorded 2,353 collisions with the A6 as the first road from 2021 to 2025, 652 of them fatal or serious, including 47 fatal. That is 33.8 per 100 million vehicle miles, close to the 31.5 for all A-roads in Great Britain. On average there were 1.7 a year for each mile of road.

Reported collisions by year

Up 7.1% from 2021 to 2025.

Traffic counts and vehicle mix	Road traffic statistics (AADF by count point) Department for Transport Derived statistics UK Motoring	2000 to 2025	178 count points in 2025	15 September 2026

Annual average daily flow (AADF) is the average number of vehicles passing a point on a typical day of the year, both directions combined.
Vehicle miles are AADF multiplied by link length and 365, summed over every count point link on the road.
Sections join count point links between junctions, using the link lines in DfT’s major road database.
STATS19 covers personal injury collisions reported to the police. Damage-only collisions are not included, and not every injury collision is reported.
Serious and slight figures are DfT’s adjusted estimates, which allow for police forces moving to injury-based reporting.
Counts of one or two collisions below Great Britain level are shown as “fewer than 3”.
