There are no reliable estimates of the volume of traffic on minor roads in Scotland for individual years pre-1998, because the method used then to estimate total traffic volumes was designed only to produce reliable estimates for GB as a whole. The Scottish components of the traffic estimates for GB for each of the years have been used to produce the estimated annual average for Scotland for 1994 to 1998.
