What does the Gera Traffic Pressure Index measure?

The GTPI/10 is a per-local-authority score combining three DfT data signals: (1) 10-year average daily flow (AADF) growth trend (weight 40%), (2) HGV freight share of total motor traffic (35%), (3) count-point density per 100km of road network (25%). Each sub-score is min-max normalised across all 153 English local authorities. Banded as: Very Low <2.5, Low 2.5–4.0, Moderate 4.0–5.5, High 5.5–7.0, Very High ≥7.0.
