Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Evidence of the depth of the recession for London operators was shown this week as Government figures revealed a massive drop in the number of goods vehicles operating in the capital.

There was an 8% drop in the goods vehicles registered in London in 1992 from the previous year. The 1992 figure of 35,000 LGVs represented a 40% drop in the numbers registered 10 years before.

The Department of Transport report Transport Statistics for London: 7993 shows heavy goods traffic has declined since the early 1980s because of the M25 and some restrictions by local authorities.

Another DOT report, London traffic monitoring report.1993 says the overall traffic speed on London roads has decreased by around 2mph from 1968 to 1990.
