Traffic measurement for car traffic

Car traffic flows in Malmö
The purpose of this report is to report current traffic volumes on Malmö's streets. At the same time, changes over time should be easily visible in the report. Data on traffic volumes has been collected by the City of Malmö since 1967.

It is important to keep in mind that there are factors that can affect the measurement results when studying traffic flows (e.g. road works, relocation of local buses, major reconstructions, speed changes and the introduction of traffic calming measures).
Traffic flows have also been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially data from 2020.

The report is an excerpt compiled from the Property and Street Office's traffic database in which measured traffic volumes have been continuously stored each year.
