The graph above is probably the most vital evidence that helps solve my hypothesis. This graph would spread me a clear idea of whether Broad Street (a main route into the city) was congested. Using the Government figures the saturation point for a road such as Broad Street is 1522. This meant that when a value was over this, the road was congested. The graph shows that Broad Street was congested throughout the day. At 900 AM its at its highest (2780), this is peak time in other words. From 1100 AM o nwards, the figures always stayed above 2000 but stayed below 2500. I can say that Broad Street on that day was congested at all times.
