 vehicles
Total                   4,536      4,638       +2.2%

Traffic measured by the number of kilometres travelled increased by 2.2%
year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Light vehicle traffic continued to increase, with a rise of 3.7%.

The decrease in heavy goods vehicle traffic abated in comparison to the 
first three quarters of the year due to the base effect, being compared 
with a fourth quarter 2008 already impacted by a significant fall-off in 
this traffic segment. As yet there has been no clear sign of a recovery.

Consolidated revenue

The application of IFRIC 12 from 1 January 2009 requires the recognition of
revenue generated by construction activities, which corresponds to
infrastructure construction services performed by the concession operator for
the account of the concession grantor, this work being entrusted to third
parties and recognised using the percentage of completion method.

Excluding Construction, revenue reported by the Group is comparable in all
respects with the revenue reported for prior periods.
