In 2015, the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) on the concession section of the A4 Katowice-Kraków motorway amounted to 36,910 vehicles and was higher by 8.6% than the traffic level recorded in 2014 (34,001 vehicles). In 2015, toll revenue amounted to PLN 257,674 thousand (excluding revenue related to unused subscription coupons) and was higher by 18.1% than in 2014 (PLN 218,145 thousand).
As far as cars are concerned, the Average Daily Traffic increased from 28,513 vehicles in 2014 to 30,922 vehicles in 2015 (a 8.5% increase). In 2015, toll revenue from cars amounted to PLN 178,032 thousand, i.e. it was higher by 18.4% than in 2014 (PLN 150,328 thousand). The difference between the dynamics of growth of toll revenue as compared to the dynamics of growth of the Average Daily Traffic of cars is mainly due to the change in the toll rate since 1 March 2015 (from PLN 9 to PLN 10).
As far as trucks are concerned, the Average Daily Traffic increased by approximately 9.1%, i.e. from 5,488 vehicles in 2014 to 5,988 vehicles in 2015. In 2015, toll revenue from trucks amounted to PLN 79,642 thousand, i.e. it was higher by 17.4% than in 2014 (PLN 67,817 thousand). The difference between the dynamics of growth of toll revenue as compared to the dynamics of growth of the Average Daily Traffic of trucks is due to the change in the toll rates since 1 March 2015 (from PLN 15 to PLN 16.5 and from PLN 24.5 to PLN 26.5) and to differences in the structure of vehicle categories (various toll rates apply depending on the category).
Management Board believes that the positive trend in traffic growth is related to the developments in macroeconomic situation and is also the result of users’ appreciation of high standard of motorway.
