UK Road Network
Information on UK and EU road networks, traffic, and congestion.
Welcome to RoadFile
A credible source of information for all road related statistics for road users, including road traffic statistics.
Produced by Road Users’ Alliance (RUA), RoadFile provides UK road data that supports the important role the road network plays in both our society and economy and therefore the need to maintain and develop better roads for all.
We encourage you to use this road data to support your own initiatives and also to share information you have that may assist RUA to develop RoadFile further!
