Dublin City canal cordon traffic counts
Below are reports and graphs from the Dublin City Council and National Transport Authority (NTA) annual canal traffic counts. The traffic surveys are conducted at canal crossing into the city centre as well as junctions of the North Circular Road and South Circular Road — a ring around the city centre call the ‘canal cordon’.
In 2011, the NTA trends report added context, and other sources of data. From 2013 onwards this was added to the main canal cordon reports.
Note: The data collected only counts movements into the city centre at peak morning times, no trips which start within the canals are counted. The Dublin City Centre cycle traffic counts are an attempt to look at more central trips (see below).
