For the week beginning 27 June 2022 (week 26), car traffic volumes in Dublin were 6% lower than the same week in 2019. For regional traffic, a similar pattern occurred, with the value for week 26 being 5% lower than the same week in 2019. See table 1.1, figure 1.1 and figure 1.2.
Please note that the timing of the summer holidays can impact on the yearly comparison of traffic count data.
