Moderate traffic pressure. Road usage is broadly in line with the national average — neither the least nor the most congested part of England.
Illustrative peak-hour delay estimate — 10 km commute
+1 min/day
At GTPI 4.5/10, peak urban speeds are estimated to drop by up to 9% from free-flow pace for a 10 km journey. Illustrative only — actual delays vary by road type, time of day, and route.

Warwickshire road traffic — questions and answers
- What is the Gera Traffic Pressure Index for Warwickshire?
- Warwickshire scores 4.5/10 on the Gera Traffic Pressure Index (GTPI) as of 2025 (rank 20 of 153 English local authorities, moderate pressure). That is 1.1 points above the national average of 3.4/10. GTPI combines 10-year AADF growth, HGV share, and count-point density.
- What is the HGV freight share on roads in Warwickshire?
- In 2025, heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) accounted for 8.8% of all motor vehicle traffic monitored in Warwickshire (293 DfT count points). The national range across English local authorities is 1.4% to 13.1%. Source: DfT AADF count-point CSV, OGL v3.0.
- Has traffic in Warwickshire grown over the past 10 years?
- Average daily traffic in Warwickshire has grown by 5.4% between 2014 and 2025, comparing average AADF across 293 count points. Source: DfT AADF count-point CSV, OGL v3.0.
- 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.
